Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 450 § 450.865 — Ordinance specifying action of board at hearing; remonstrances

Ordinance specifying action of board at hearing; remonstrances. (1) After the board has concluded the hearing under ORS 450.850 and 450.855 it may adopt an ordinance specifying the installations to be constructed for the area, the boundaries of the area, the method of apportioning the construction cost to the area directly benefited, whether by assessment, by sewer connection charges, by sewer service charges or annual levy, or combinations thereof, and the method of financing the construction of the installations. A copy of the ordinance shall be published once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the area directly benefited or, if there is no such newspaper, in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the county in which the area, or the largest portion thereof, is situated. (2) If within 30 days after the last publication of such ordinance written remonstrances against the proposed construction are filed in the office of the authority by a majority of the owners of the land in the area directly benefited, no further proceedings shall be had in connection with the proposed construction. However, a modified proposal may be initiated within six months thereafter. (3) If such remonstrances are not filed by a majority of the owners of the land in the area directly benefited, the board may proceed with the construction of the installation in accordance with the ordinance.
