Statute Text
Deficit assessment; hearing; objections; notices.
In the event that an assessment is
made before the total cost of the improvement is ascertained, and if it is
found that the amount of the assessment is insufficient to defray the expenses
of the improvement, the district board may, by motion, declare such deficit and
prepare a proposed deficit assessment. The board shall set a time for a hearing
of objections to such deficit assessment and shall direct the secretary to
publish one notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in the
district. After the hearing the board shall make a just and equitable deficit
assessment by ordinance, which shall be entered in the lien docket as provided
by ORS 523.210 to 523.380. Notices of the deficit assessment shall be published
and mailed and the collection of the assessment shall be made in accordance
with ORS 523.280 and 523.290. [1975 c.782 §29]
