12-631e.Certain cities may alter, repair, construct or reconstruct
sewers; payment by city at large; bonds.
If the governing body of any city located in a
county which has a population of less than
20,000 and an assessed
tangible valuation of more than $45,000,000 and in which
sewer districts have been created determines that it
is necessary to alter,
repair or reconstruct any existing sewer or construct any additional
sewer which serves two or more districts or which serves a substantial
portion of the city, the governing body may provide therefor and may (1) assess the cost
thereof against the sewer district or sewer districts specially
benefited, (2) if the governing body determines that the cost
thereof should be borne by the city at large, pay such cost out of the
general fund of the city or (3) issue its general improvement bonds to pay
therefor in the manner provided by law.
Whenever the governing body of any such city determines
that the
cost of any such construction or reconstruction should be borne by the
city at large and paid for by the issuance of its general improvement
bonds, the governing body shall adopt a resolution stating such fact
and the amount of bonds which it deems necessary to issue and sell. The governing body
shall publish such resolution once each week for two consecutive weeks in a paper of
general circulation in such city. After publication,
such bonds may be issued
and sold, unless a petition in opposition to the same, signed by qualified
electors of the city equal in number to not less
than 15% of the qualified electors of such city who voted for the office
of secretary of state at the last preceding
election at which such office was subject to election, is filed with the
city clerk of such city within 30
days following the last publication of the resolution. If such a
petition is filed,
the governing body of such city shall submit the question to the qualified
electors of such city at a special election called for such purpose or
at the next general city election.
The total amount
of bonds issued by any city under the authority conferred by this act
shall not exceed the sum of $100,000.
The provisions of law relating to
construction and pavement of streets shall be followed in the letting of
all contracts and the levying of any special assessments under the
provisions of this act.
