Whenever it appears to commission members that the need, as stated in § 15.2-5202, for such commission no longer exists, the members may, after ten days' notice to the governing body of the locality establishing a commission pursuant to §§ 15.2-5200 and 15.2-5202, file a petition with the circuit court for such political subdivision or for any of such political subdivisions. Upon the production of satisfactory evidence in support of the petition, the court may, in its discretion, enter an order declaring that the need for such commission in the locality or combination thereof no longer exists and approving a plan for completing the business of the commission, the payment or assumption of its obligations, and the transfer of its assets.
