(3) direct the board or boards of the agency to wind up the business and affairs of the agency and to inform the participating public entities by resolution when the winding up of the business and affairs of the agency is complete; and

(4) state the date on which the dissolution takes effect, provided that the date provides sufficient time for the board or boards of the agency to wind up agency affairs.
