If the governing body of a municipality which has an urban renewal agency under ORS 457.035 finds that there no longer exists a need for an urban renewal agency in the municipality, the governing body shall provide, by ordinance, for a termination of the agency and a transfer of the agency’s facilities, files and personnel to the municipality. The termination of an urban renewal agency shall not affect any outstanding legal actions, contracts or obligations of the agency and the municipality shall be substituted for the agency and, for the purpose of those legal actions, contracts or obligations, shall be considered a continuation of the urban renewal agency and not a new entity. No urban renewal agency shall be terminated under this section unless all indebtedness to which a portion of taxes is irrevocably pledged for payment under ORS 457.420 to 457.470 is fully paid.
