DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

(a) The compensation of the receiver, court costs, and expenses have priority over other claims against an abolished municipality and shall be paid first out of money on hand or collected.

(c) After the final settlement of the receivership, the receiver shall deliver money or other property remaining to the trustees or other officers in charge of any public school district located completely within the boundaries of the abolished municipality, and the money or property shall be used for the benefit of the school district. If there is no such public school district, the receiver shall deliver the remaining money or property to the county in which the municipality is located. The money shall be deposited in the general fund of the county, and the property shall be used for the benefit of the county.
