(1) If territory proposed to be annexed is within the limits of another sanitary district, the board of the district to which annexation is proposed and the board of such other district shall meet with each other prior to the hearing on the annexation petition to agree upon a division and disposal of the properties of the other district that lie within the territory proposed to be annexed. An agreement between the boards is effective only in the event the proposed annexation is approved by the electors. (2) The plan of division of properties provided for in subsection (1) of this section shall be arrived at by giving consideration to the assessed valuation of the other district as a whole, the assessed valuation of the territory to be annexed, the types of properties and their location and intended use. If a plan of division of properties is agreed upon, the plan shall be reduced to writing and, if the proposed annexation is approved by the electors, shall be binding upon the districts party to the plan and upon all other interested persons.

ORS 450.225. Effective date of annexation; disposition of properties in territory; liabilities and indebtedness of territory; filing of report. (1) If the territory annexed to the district was, prior to the vote on the petition for annexation, within the limits of another sanitary district, the effective date of the annexation shall be the effective date of the withdrawal from the other district of the territory previously within its limits.

The provisions of ORS 222.560 shall govern the method and procedure by which such division of properties shall be made. (3) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, the district to which the territory was annexed may, in the sound discretion of its board, assume such obligations if the obligations do not bring the total of the districts obligation above any applicable limitations prescribed by law or otherwise. When the district assumes such obligations, it shall be liable to the other district, as provided by ORS 222.520 (2)(a) or (b), at the option of the annexing district. After the district agrees to make the payments referred to in this subsection, neither the annexing district nor the annexed territory shall be charged by the other district with any future liabilities, obligations or functions of the other district. (4) Within 30 days after the effective date of the county boards order of annexation, the secretary of the annexing district shall file a written report with the Environmental Quality Commission, stating the name of the district and the date of the county boards order of annexation, and shall furnish with the report a map of the district boundaries as they are after the annexation.

ORS Chapter 450 — Sanitary Districts and

ORS 450.270. Powers of State Treasurer in connection with ORS 450.250 to 450.300. (1) The State Treasurer shall be the sole judge as to whether state funds shall be invested in the bonds of a district and as to which undertakings shall first be financed. The decision of the State Treasurer on the subject of investment and priority shall be final. (2) The State Treasurer may enlist the technical services of any state officer or department in a study of the feasibility and cost of the sewerage project. The State Treasurer further may employ registered engineers, at the cost of the district, to make such a study for the district and for the State Treasurer.

ORS 450.280. Circumstances and conditions under which State Treasurer may purchase sewerage system bonds. (1) The State Treasurer may purchase from a district at private sale sewerage system bonds bearing interest at a rate agreed upon by the State Treasurer and the district. The bonds shall qualify for investment by the state only if the sewer connection charges and revenues of the sewerage system of the issuing district, after the payment of operation and maintenance expenses, are pledged wholly to the payment of the principal of and interest upon the bonds, and the issuing district shall covenant to levy ad valorem taxes upon all of the taxable property within its boundaries to meet deficiencies in the charges and revenues pledged, and only if the combined indebtedness for all public purposes, other than state or federal, within the boundaries of the district, including the proposed sewerage system indebtedness, but excluding obligations issued for other utilities that are self-supporting or self-liquidating or are approximately so, does not exceed 25 percent of the total real market value of all taxable property within the district as reflected in the last roll certified under ORS 311.105. The limitation shall apply only to districts that finance the costs of their sewerage systems under ORS 450.250 to 450.300. The limitation shall include the ratios of indebtedness to the total valuation, determined in like manner, of other subdivisions that overlap the district to an extent of more than 50 percent of the total value of the district. Indebtedness within the 25 percent limitation may be incurred by a district if approved by the electors of the district at an election called and held for that purpose. Notwithstanding that revenues may have been pledged to the payment of the principal of and the interest upon a particular issue of general obligation bonds owned by the state, the same revenues, with the approval of the State Treasurer, may be pledged to the payment of the principal of and the interest on additional issues of bonds purchased by the state from the district. The additional issues shall be on a parity with previous issues as to the pledge of charges and revenues. In order to complete the financing of a sewerage system, after bonds payable as to principal and interest from revenues and ad valorem taxation have been issued, the State Treasurer may purchase issues of general obligation sewerage system bonds of districts, payable only from ad valorem property taxes, provided such issues, together with other obligations of the district, do not exceed the debt limits specified in this section. (2) All bonds heretofore issued under authority of ORS 450.250 to 450.300 and sold to the state, and the proceedings under which they were issued, are approved, validated, ratified, and confirmed, and the bonds are the valid and legally binding general obligations of the issuing district.

If any district fails to meet, when due, any obligations sold to the state under authority of ORS 450.250 to 450.300, the State Treasurer and the district may agree upon and put into effect, any plan they may consider expedient for refinancing the indebtedness of the district, or the State Treasurer, with the approval of the circuit court of the county in which the major portion of the assessed valuation of the district is located, may appoint a receiver to operate the sewerage system. The receiver shall act as such so long as the circuit court deems receivership necessary to protect the interests of the state and of the district.
ORS Chapter 450 — Sanitary Districts and

ORS 450.300. rates and sewer connection charges, and proposed method of collection thereof. The rates and charges shall be such as, in the judgment of the State Treasurer, are sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs of the system and to liquidate, during the period approved by the State Treasurer, the indebtedness incurred by the district in the construction of the system. The State Treasurer may further require as part of the agreement to purchase the bonds of the district, that the district levy and collect assessments in the manner provided by ORS 450.005 to 450.245, and that it pledge the receipts from such assessments, both principal and interest, to the payment of its bonds and the interest thereon. The district shall be fully authorized to levy and collect such assessments against properties within or without the boundaries of the district, that will be benefited by the sewerage system of the district. Should the receipts of the district prove inadequate to pay such costs and such indebtedness, the State Treasurer may direct the district to increase its rates and charges to make the sewerage project self-supporting and self-liquidating, and the district thereupon shall establish the rates and charges prescribed by the State Treasurer. (2) If the district does not have the ability to collect sewerage charges in connection with or as part of the charge for another service or utility that can be curtailed to secure collection, and if the State Treasurer so directs, delinquent charges for use of or connection with a sewerage system shall be certified to the assessor of the county or counties in which the district is located and shall be entered upon the tax rolls of the county and be collected and accounted for in the same manner in which city taxes are collected and accounted for. The said charges shall constitute liens upon the real property of the corporation or person against whom they are assessed. (3) The district shall obtain from the State Treasurer approval of its annual budgets and tax levies before they are certified to the clerk and assessor of the county in which the district is located, for extension upon the county tax rolls.

For the purposes of this section, actual value shall be determined in the manner prescribed by ORS 450.120. Bonds issued under authority of this section, together with other outstanding indebtedness of the district, shall not exceed in the aggregate 15 percent of the actual value of the district. For the purposes of this section, the 15 percent limitation shall supersede the limitation imposed by ORS 450.120 or any other law in conflict with this section. Only bonds authorized and issued in compliance with ORS 450.005 to 450.075, 450.085 to
