§ 94-50. Meeting regarding preliminary assessment roll.  


Latest version.
  • The preliminary assessment roll shall be advisory only and shall be subject to the action of the city commission. Subsequent to the filing with the city manager and the city clerk of the preliminary assessment roll, the city clerk shall publish at least 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 to be held on a certain day and hour, not earlier than 15 calendar days from publication (including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays), which meeting may be a regular, adjourned or special meeting, all interested persons may appear and file written objections to the approval of the preliminary assessment roll. Such notice shall describe in general terms the assessable improvements, the location thereof (location may be established by reference to boundaries or a map), and the procedure for objecting, and advise all persons interested that the description of each property to be assessed, along with the amount of the special assessment lien to be levied against the benefited property, may be ascertained at the office of the city clerk. In addition to the published notice described above, the city clerk shall cause to be mailed at least 15 calendar days prior to the hearing a copy of the notice by first class mail to each property owner proposed to be assessed. Notice shall be mailed to each property owner at such address as is shown on the tax rolls or such other source or sources as the director of public works or city clerk deems reliable. The failure of the city clerk to mail such notice shall not constitute a valid objection to the approval of the preliminary assessment roll. Notice shall be deemed mailed upon delivery thereof to the possession of the U.S. Postal Service. All objections shall be made either in writing, filed with the city clerk at or before the time or adjourned time of the hearing, or orally at the time of the hearing. The city clerk may provide proof of such notice by affidavit.
