Whenever any county sewer district appears to be the owner of record of any land, or rights in land, on which is located the sewage disposal plant or other facilities of an improvement district organized under K.S.A. 19-2753 et seq., the board of county commissioners of the county within which such sewer district and improvement district are located may determine whether such sewer district is operative and whether any reason exists for the retention of such land by the sewer district. Upon a finding that such sewer district is not operative and that no reason exists for the retention of such land by such sewer district, the board of county commissioners, as the governing body of the sewer district, shall relinquish such land or rights in land to such improvement district by quit claim deed, assignment or otherwise as may be appropriate.
