Latest version.
  • (a)

    The city clerk, upon the filing with him of such plans, specifications, cost estimates and the tentative assessment roll, shall publish once in a newspaper of general circulation, published in the county and circulating in the city, a notice stating that at a meeting of the city commission on a certain day and hour, not earlier than 15 calendar days from such publication (including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays), which meeting shall be a regular, adjourned or special meeting, the city commission will hear objections of all interested persons to the adoption of the approving resolution which shall approve the plans, specifications, cost estimates and tentative assessment roll as provided for in section 94-43.

    (b)

    The notice shall state:

    (1)

    In brief and general terms a description of the applicable project with the location thereof (location may be established by reference to boundaries or a map);

    (2)

    The procedure for objecting provided in sections 94-45 and 94-46; and

    (3)

    That plans, specifications, cost estimates and the tentative assessment roll, which shall include the method or alternative methods of assessment, are on file with the city clerk; and all interested persons may ascertain the amount to be assessed against a lot or parcel of property at the office of the city clerk.

    (c)

    In addition to the published notice described above, the city clerk shall cause to be mailed a copy of the notice by first class mail to each property owner proposed to be assessed. Notice shall be mailed, at least 15 calendar days prior to the hearing, to each property owner at such address as is shown on the tax rolls or such other source as the director of public works or city clerk deems reliable. Notice shall be deemed mailed upon delivery thereof to the possession of the U.S. Postal Service. The failure of the city clerk to mail such notice shall not constitute a valid objection to holding the hearing as provided in this article or to any other action taken under the authority of this article. The city clerk may provide proof of such notice by affidavit.
