Hearing; decision of director.

Kansas City Code § 60-43

in effect

Sec. 60-43. - Hearing; decision of director. On the date fixed for such hearing (provided for in section 60-43) any and all property owners interested in such improvement may, by written petition or otherwise, present their views in respect to the proposed improvement to the said director, and the said director may adjourn the hearing from time to time. After such hearing, if the said director shall determine that it is not for the public interest that the proposed improvement, or a part thereof, be made, and paid for either out of the general fund or by any method of assessment, or otherwise, the director shall make an order to that effect, and thereupon the proceedings for the improvement, or part thereof, determined against by such order, shall stop and shall not be begun again until the adoption of a new resolution. No remonstrance or objection shall stay any proceedings, and when the director of the water services department determines such project or any portion thereof to be necessary or unnecessary, the director's decision shall be final. Within 30 days after the director of the water services department has made a determination of necessity, the director of the water services department shall cause a notice of that determination, containing the legal description of each property that will be subject to assessment, to be filed in the office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the properties are located. Any failure by the director of the water services department to file the notice in accordance with this section shall not invalidate the special assessments subsequently levied, and the burden of proof shall be upon anyone claiming damage on account thereof to show, in an appropriate action, the fact of such failure and that actual damage was caused thereby. (Ord. No. 120551, § 1, 6-28-12)
