court.

The district attorney for the county in which the situs of the

municipal government is located may petition for involuntary

dissolution of a municipality when the government of a municipality

ceases to function by reason of the following:

1. General municipal elections have not been called in the

municipality for two successive general municipal elections;

2. A majority of all the members of the governing body fail to

qualify for two successive general municipal elections; or

3. The municipality is totally within an area subject to

subsidence, environmental contamination or flooding as a result of

mining operations, dam construction or natural causes beyond the

control of the municipality, and said municipality is unable to meet

the cost of continuing its government and maintaining its services

to residents due to a reduction in population resulting from such

circumstances.

The petition requesting involuntary dissolution shall be filed in

the district court in the county in which the situs of the

municipality is located. The petition shall state the facts which

justify the request and shall set forth a detailed statement of the

assets and liabilities of the municipality insofar as they can be

ascertained.
