12-602.Resolution, protest, contract, levy and assessment for improvements.
Whenever the governing body of any city deems it necessary to
grade, regrade, pave, repave, curb, recurb, gutter, regutter,
macadamize, remacadamize or otherwise improve any street or avenue, or
any part thereof, for which a special tax is to be levied, as herein
provided, the governing body shall by resolution declare such work or
improvement necessary to be done. Such resolution shall be published once
each week for two consecutive weeks in the official city newspaper.
If the resident owners of more than 1/2 the property liable for the tax do not within
20 days from the last
publication file with the city clerk a protest against such
improvement, the governing body shall have power to cause such work to
be done or such improvement to be made, to contract therefor and to
levy taxes as herein provided.
Whenever a majority of the resident owners of real property liable for
the tax for the improvement in two or more adjacent blocks
petition the governing body to grade, regrade, pave, repave, curb,
recurb, gutter, regutter, macadamize, remacadamize or otherwise improve
a street or avenue, or any part thereof, the governing body shall cause
such work to be done or such
improvement to be made, shall contract therefor and shall levy
taxes for all such improvements as herein provided upon the property on
each side of the street or avenue to the middle of the block.
The sufficiency of a protest or petition filed hereunder, as to the ownership
of the property, shall be
determined by the record in the office of the register of deeds at the
time of the adoption of the resolution.
The cost of grading, regrading,
paving, repaving, curbing, recurbing, guttering, reguttering,
macadamizing, remacadamizing or otherwise improving intersections of
streets and the cost of making any of improvements in streets,
avenues and alleys running along or through city property shall be paid
for by the city at large, for which general improvement bonds of the
city may be issued according to law, except
that, if the petition
of the resident owners initiating the project so provides, the entire
cost or a part thereof may be
assessed against the benefited property in the same manner as the
remainder of the improvements.
The governing body in its discretion may levy the entire tax or
special assessment for such cost at one time or may provide for payment
thereof in installments and issue
bonds as provided by law for such installments. The owner of any property
liable for such
assessment may, within 30 days from the time of the
determination of the amount assessed against the owner's
property, pay
the same in full, and such property shall not thereafter be liable for
any assessment for the cost of such improvement. Bonds shall be
issued only for the amount of the cost of such improvement remaining
unpaid at the end of 30 days from the time such assessment is
fixed.
