(A) (1) Protest Hearing Notice. Subsequent to the passage of Resolution No. 2, which establishes the date for the protest hearing, the SAD Engineer will send out protest hearing notices to the record owners of benefited property. A cover letter will be included with each hearing notice to further explain the subject of the notice, the effect of the notice, and procedures for objection to the proposed improvements. A separate notice for each tract or parcel included in the proposed SAD will be prepared; however, multiple notices may be sent in one envelope to Record Owners who own more than one tract or parcel in the proposed SAD. The notices will be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested. Notices shall be mailed not more than 30 days nor less than ten days prior to the hearing.
(2) The protest hearing notice shall also be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city once each week for three consecutive weeks. The last publication shall be at least one week prior to the day of the hearing. Verification of publication shall be made by an affidavit of the publisher filed with the City Clerk.
(B) Protest Hearing. The SAD Engineer will obtain copies of all protests that have been received by the City Clerk prior to the hearing and provide them to the City Council and the Consulting Engineer. Any written protests received by the City Council at the hearing will be turned over to the SAD Engineer for deposit with the City Clerk and with the Consulting Engineer. The Consulting Engineer will attend the protest hearing to record verbal protests and answer questions pertinent to the SAD.
