CHAPTER IX
Public Improvements

Section 29. Improvements.

Street, sewer, sidewalk, and such other public improvements as the council deems necessary may be undertaken on the motion of the council or on petition of the owners of two-thirds of the property to benefit specially from the improvements. A remonstrance of the owners of two-thirds of the frontage of the property to be specially affected by such an improvement shall defeat such a motion or petition, in which event no further action to effect the improvement shall be taken for six months. The council can declare certain improvements as an emergency, that have to be taken care of immediately.

Section 30. Special Assessments.

The procedure for determining the amounts of special assessments, their apportionment to various parcels of property, and the property upon which they are to be levied; for giving notice to property owners and other interested parties, for hearings on levy assessments; for creating and enforcing assessment liens; and for taking any other action relating to the assessments shall be governed by the applicable law of the state relating to special assessments or by general ordinances enacted by the council.

Section 31. Bids.

A contract for public improvements shall be in accordance with state law.
