The Council shall have power by ordinance to provide for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance by contract or directly by the employment of labor, of all things in the nature of local improvements, and to provide for the payment of any part of the cost of any such improvement by levying and collecting special assessments upon abutting, adjacent and contiguous or other specially benefitted property. The amount assessed against the property specifically benefitted to pay for such local improvements shall not exceed the amount of benefits accruing to such property.
(Effective November 9, 1931)
Special assessments upon the property deemed benefitted by a public improvement shall be by any one of the following methods:
(a) By a percentage of the tax value of the property assessed.
(b) In proportion to the benefits which may result from the improvement.
(c) By the foot frontage of the property bounding or abutting upon the improvement.
(Effective November 9, 1931)
When it is deemed necessary to make a public improvement to be paid for in whole or in part by special assessment, the Council shall declare the necessity therefor, by resolution, and such resolution shall state the method of assessment, the mode of payment, and the number of annual installments. Such resolution shall be certified to the Director of Finance, who shall thereupon proceed to make an assessment report, in accordance with the method of assessment provided in the resolution, which report shall be filed with Council and shall show the lots and lands assessed, and the amount of the assessment as to each, and the number of installments not exceeding ten (10), in which such assessments shall be paid.
(Effective November 9, 1931)
At the time of the passage of the resolution hereinbefore provided there shall be on file in such office as the Council may designate by ordinance in accordance with the provisions hereof, plans, specifications, estimates, and profiles of the proposed improvements, giving all information necessary; and such plans, specifications, estimates and profiles, shall be open to the inspection of all interested persons. Until such time as the Council may make the aforesaid designation the place of the said filing shall be the one in use at the time of the adoption of this section.
(Effective November 9, 1931)
Upon the filing of the assessment report, the Director of Finance shall cause written notice to be served upon the owner of each lot or parcel of land to be assessed, or otherwise affected, or upon the persons in whose names the same may be assessed for taxation upon the tax duplicate. Said notice shall be served as is provided for service of summons in civil actions; and as to all nonresidents and persons who cannot be found, publication of such notice shall be made at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. Said notice shall contain a statement of the character of the proposed improvement, the fact that the assessment report has been filed with the Council, the rate of such assessment, the number of installments, and shall state a time and place when complaints and claims will be heard before the Board of Revision of Assessments.
(Effective November 9, 1931)
