If within four years after the adoption of an ordinance declaring the need for an authority to function in a local agency, the authority has not acquired or entered into possession of any property, or entered into any contract for the acquisition of any property, the legislative body by ordinance may declare that there is no need for the authority to function. Upon the adoption of such ordinance, the offices of the commission become vacant and the capacity of the authority to transact business or exercise any power is suspended until the legislative body again adopts an ordinance declaring the need for the authority to function.
