67A.918 Duties of commissioners. The board of commissioners shall:
(1) Study the need for new parking facilities within the urban-county and report the results of such study to the legislative body. (2) Study the need for parking space to be provided without charge to certain classes of users within one or more districts of the urban-county and report the results of such
study to the legislative body. (3) If the authority finds a need for one or more parking districts it may make a report which shall:
(a) Describe the outside boundaries of the proposed local parking district giving due consideration to benefit rendered to each parcel or tract of real estate so
included. (b) Describe the boundaries within the proposed parking district or such subdistricts as may be required to properly adjust for various degrees of
benefit to each subdistrict within the local parking district. (c) Propose parking facilities or structures to be acquired or constructed and give the expected cost of such facilities. (d) Propose a plan of assessment or taxation or both to be imposed on businesses, professions, and real estate located within the proposed parking district
consistent with the fiscal needs of the district. (4) The authority shall report the results of its study to the legislative body, describing the outside boundaries of the area to be benefited, the nature and extent of benefit,
the nature and cost of the facilities proposed, and the details of the plan of
assessment or taxation, or both, proposed to be imposed on businesses, professions,
and real estate located within the proposed parking district. If the legislative body
finds that the general plan is in the public interest, the legislative body shall set by
resolution a time and place for a first public hearing on the proposal. A notice of
the time and place of the hearing, including the complete text of the report of the
authority to the legislative body, shall be published pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
The hearing shall be held before the legislative body, with the mayor presiding. (5) After the public hearing the legislative body may: (a) By resolution determine that no local parking district is in the best interests of the urban-county government. (b) Resubmit the original study and report to the authority with directions to make specific changes. (c) Make such changes to the proposed boundaries of the district and subdistricts (if any) as may be deemed necessary and make such changes to the proposed
ad valorem tax rates or occupational taxes as may be found necessary in
keeping with the revenue needs of the district and the benefit expected to be
derived to the various recipients. Once such changes are made, the legislative
body may create by ordinance the existence of a local parking district
incorporating into the ordinance any amendments. Effective: June 19, 1976
