(a) In the event the owner of any lot or parcel of land to be assessed objects to the amount or apportionment of the estimated assessment or to the assessment against such lot or parcel, as provided in Ohio R.C. 727.15, (or any successor section of the Revised Code), the City’s assessment equalization board consisting of the City Manager, the City’s Director of Finance and the City’s Director of Public Service shall fix the time and place for the hearing by such board of such objections, and the clerk of the legislative authority shall notify, by certified mail, the persons so objecting of the time and place of such hearing. Such notice shall be mailed at least five days before the date of such hearing. In the event the special assessment proceedings involve lands in which any member of the board has an interest. such interested member of the board shall not serve as a member of the board with respect to that proceeding and the Mayor of the City shall appoint a disinterested freeholder of the City to serve as a member of the board in the interested member’s place. In the event that all lands within the municipal corporation are to be subject to assessment, the assessment equalization board shall consist of three disinterested freeholders from the county outside the municipal corporation appointed by the Mayor.
