The governing body of any county which has created an authority pursuant to this act may be ordinance or resolution, as appropriate, dissolve such authority if either (1) such authority has no debts or obligations outstanding, or (2) all creditors or other obligees of the authority have consented to said ordinance or resolution.

A copy of any such certified ordinance or resolution, duly certified by or on behalf of the Secretary of State, shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding and shall be conclusive evidence of due and proper adoption and filing thereof as aforesaid.
