Food and Agricultural Code section 8704

If the board of supervisors determines that the consolidation is feasible and for the best interests of the citrus growers of the respective districts, it shall by resolution duly adopted declare the districts consolidated into one district, giving the consolidated district a name which name shall include the term “consolidated.” Certified copies of the resolution shall be filed with the Secretary of State and, for record, with the county recorder of each county in which is located any part of the consolidated district. Upon the filing, the districts are consolidated into a single consolidated district with all the rights, privileges, and powers of a district. The consolidated district shall succeed to all the funds and other property, and is subject to all the indebtedness, bonded and otherwise, of the districts consolidated. Each district which is included in the consolidated district shall continue in existence for the purpose of representation on the board of the consolidated district, and for the purpose of levying, assessing, and collecting assessments for district purposes. The board of the consolidated district is, however, the board of each district which is included in the consolidated district.
