(A) (1) Assessment Hearing Notice. Subsequent to the passage of Resolution No. 4, the SAD Engineer will send out assessment 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 assessments for the Improvements. A separate notice for each lot or tract included in the SAD will be prepared; however, multiple notices may be sent in one envelope to record owners who own more than one lot or tract in the 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 assessment 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) Assessment Hearing. Not later than three days before the day of the assessment hearing on the assessment roll, any record owner of a lot or tract listed on the assessment roll may file specific objections in writing with the City Clerk. The SAD Engineer obtains copies of all objections that have been received by the City Clerk and provides them to the City Council and the Consulting Engineer. The Consulting Engineer will attend the assessment hearing to answer questions pertinent to the Special Assessments.
