There is talk about moving to Cal Ripken.

Do Minor League teams under Cal Ripken need to be desolved, or is the Minor League system a true build ground/stepping stone to get to the Major League under Cal Ripken?

Please advise.

This is not a Cal Ripken requirement, totally local rule.

When I coached Cal Ripken our league had majors for 11-12 and minors for 9-10. Minors was not a dumping ground, but was totally based on age, and nobody was allowed to play UP or DOWN. I know of other leagues who do differently. But I don't know any league that disolves the minor league after the season.
