Statute Text
Hearing; assessment ordinance.
(1) At the time of the public hearing on the proposed improvement, if the
written remonstrances represent less than the amount of property required to
defeat the proposed improvement, if such an improvement is one that can be
remonstrated against, then on the basis of such hearing of written
remonstrances and oral objections, if any, the district board may, by motion,
at the time of the hearing or within 60 days thereafter, order the improvement
to be carried out in accordance with the resolution, or the district board may,
on its own motion, abandon the improvement.
(2) After the
public hearing on the proposed improvement and after the district board has
moved to proceed with the improvement, it may pass an ordinance assessing the
various lots, parcels of land or parts thereof, to be specially benefited with
their apportioned share of the cost of the improvement; but the passage of an
assessment ordinance may be delayed until the contract for the work is let, or
until the improvement is completed and the total cost thereof is determined. [1969
