If the statement shows that at least two-thirds of the assessed value of all assessable property formerly contained within the disincorporated city is contained within the boundaries of the newly incorporated city, the board of supervisors shall fix the relative proportion by an order entered in the minutes, and the newly incorporated city is liable for that proportion of the debts and liabilities of the disincorporated city.
