projects; petition request, contents; findings; establishment of
district.
(a) In addition to any other power provided by law and as a
complete
alternative to all other methods provided by law, the governing body of
any municipality may create a district as provided by this act for the
purpose of financing projects. Under this section, a municipality may
create a district, or may modify a district previously created under this
section, upon receipt of a petition that is signed by the owners of all of
the land area within the proposed district, and is both (1) seeking
financing only by assessments and (2) not seeking the issuance of full
faith and credit bonds pursuant to this act. The petition shall contain:
(A) The general nature of the proposed project;
(B) the estimated cost of the project;
(C) the proposed method of financing the project;
(D) the proposed amount and method of assessment;
(E) a map of the proposed district; and
(F) a legal description of the boundaries of the proposed district.
(b) Names may not be withdrawn from the petitions by the signers
thereof after the governing body commences consideration of the
petitions or later than seven days after the filing of such petition with
the clerk of the municipality, whichever occurs first. The petition shall
contain a notice that: (1) The names of the signers may not be
withdrawn after such a period of time; and (2) the signers consent to
any assessments to the extent described therein without regard to
benefits conferred by the project.
(c) Upon filing of the petition pursuant to this section, the governing
body may proceed without notice or a hearing to make findings by
resolution or ordinance as to the nature, advisability and estimated
cost of the project, the boundaries of the district and the amount and
method of assessment. Upon making such findings, the governing
body by majority vote may authorize the project in accordance with
such findings as to the advisability of the project. The resolution or
ordinance shall be effective upon publication once in the newspaper.
(d) The district boundaries and the method of financing for the
project shall not require that all property that is benefited by the project,
whether the benefited property is within or without the district, be
included in the district or be subject to an assessment.
(e) Following authorization of the project, the ordinance or
resolution establishing the district shall be submitted for recording in
the office of the register of deeds of the county in which the district is
located.
