PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS
For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
COST. The cost of any public improvement, including the cost of services, plans, condemnation, spreading of rolls, notices, advertising, financing, construction and legal fees and other costs incident to the making of such improvement, the special assessments therefor and the financing thereof.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT. Any improvements upon public property which result in special benefit to the real property in the vicinity of such improvement.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
(A) Proceedings for making public improvements and defraying the entire cost or any part thereof by special assessment shall be initiated by resolution of the Council. For the purposes of determining whether a sufficient number of property owners are interested in a public improvement, the Council may require petitions from the owners of property in the proposed special assessment district.
(B) Whenever the Council shall determine to make any public improvement and defray the entire cost and expense thereof or any part thereof by special assessment, the Council shall by resolution direct the Mayor to make an investigation of the proposed public improvement and report the findings to the Council. Said report shall include an analysis of the following:
(1) The estimated cost of the proposed public improvement; and
(2) Plans and specification for the public improvement.
(3) There shall also be included recommendations as to the following:
(a) The portion of the cost to be borne by the special assessment district and the portion, if any, to be borne by the city at large;
(b) The extent of the improvement and boundaries of the district;
(c) The number of installments in which assessments may be paid; and
(d) Any other facts or recommendations which will aid the Council in determining whether the improvement shall be made and how the same shall be financed.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
No control or expenditure, except for the necessary procedures of the Council and for the preparing of necessary profiles, plans, specifications and estimates of cost, shall be made for any public improvement, the cost of which is to be paid by special assessment upon the property especially benefited thereby, until the Council has passed a resolution determining to proceed with such public improvement.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
Upon receipt of the report of the Mayor if the Council shall determine to proceed with the improvement, they shall by resolution approve the report prepared by the Mayor and shall approve the plans and specifications and estimate of cost for the public improvement; determine the necessity thereof and set forth the nature thereof; designate the limits of the special assessment district to be affected and describe the lands to be assessed; determine the part or proportion of the cost of the public improvement to be paid by the lands specially benefited thereby and the part or proportion, if any, to be paid by the city at large for benefit to the city at large; determine the number of installments in which the special assessment may be paid and the rate of interest, not exceeding 6% per annum, to be charged if the payment of any balance is to be deferred; and by the terms of said resolution shall direct the City Assessor to make a special assessment roll of the part or proportion of the cost to be borne by the lands specially benefitted according to the benefits received and to report the same to the Council.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
