What’s in it
AI summary When a county board holds a hearing about land costs in a drainage or levee district, they must notify all landowners and publish a notice in a local newspaper. This bill allows the newspaper notice to leave out the specific list of how much each person must pay if that information is posted on the county auditor's website and in their office. Landowners can still ask the county auditor for a copy of those cost details.1

BILL’S PROVISIONS. This bill amends provisions requiring a county board of supervisors (board) to provide notice of a hearing regarding a report to classify tracts of land within a drainage or levee district (district) as established or proposed to be established by the board. The notice is required to be delivered to each owner of land within the district and also by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the district is located. The bill provides that the newspaper publication is not required to include a statement listing the amount of the assessment of costs and expenses of construction of improvements as apportioned to each owner, if it is posted in the office of the county auditor and on the county’s internet site. The county auditor must provide a copy of the statement upon request. BACKGROUND.305).44). The board must hold a hearing regarding the commissioner’s report which is conducted in the same manner as when the district is established. However, the notice for classification must also include a statement listing the amount of the assessment of costs and expenses of construction of improvements as apportioned to each owner for each tract or fraction of a tract and the filing of objections.
