(b) The board of commissioners of the special services district in question shall determine the manner in which any referendum held pursuant to subdivision (2), (3), (4) or (5) of subsection (a) of this section shall be conducted. Any such referendum may be conducted by mail.

(c) If any special services district is dissolved pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the board of commissioners of such district shall proceed to wind up the affairs of such district as of the end of the then current fiscal year of such district. If, after the dissolution of a special services district, such district shall have liabilities, whether fixed or contingent, the legislative body of the municipality in which such district was located shall have the authority to impose, in addition to the regular municipal levy, a levy on the real property within such district, in the same manner as is provided for the determination of such levy by the board of commissioners of such district in the ordinance establishing such district, for as many years as any such liabilities shall remain outstanding, and such levy shall be calculated to produce enough revenues to satisfy and release such liabilities as they become due, and such revenues shall be deposited into the general fund of such municipality and shall be dispersed by such municipality, at the direction of its chief executive officer, solely for the purposes stated herein. If, after the dissolution of a special services district, such district shall have assets which remain following the winding up of the affairs of the special district, such assets shall be transferred to the municipality within which such district was located.
