The board shall establish criteria to determine qualified buyers.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, the district shall not be required to sell the real and personal property of the district if such sale would adversely affect the federal tax exempt status of the interest on the special obligation bonds issued by the district pursuant to this article.
