74.200 Modification of assessment -- Relevy. When the county judge/executive has confirmed an assessment for the construction of a
water system and the assessment has been modified by a court, or for some unforeseen
cause it cannot be collected, the commission may modify the assessment as originally
confirmed to conform to the judgment of the court and to cover any deficit caused by the
order of the county judge/executive or unforeseen occurrence. The relevy shall be made
for the additional sum required, in the same ratio as in the original assessment. In any
other case where it is ascertained that the amount assessed against the property in the
water district is not sufficient to complete the improvements provided for, such deficit
may be paid out of current reserve, or the county judge/executive may order a relevy upon
the petition of the commission, or any three (3) or more petitioners. The petition must set
forth the amount of the deficit, the causes thereof, and the amount necessary to be raised
in order to complete the work. The county judge/executive shall give notice of the filing
and purpose of the petition and fix a time, not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty
(20) days from the giving of the notice, when the petition shall be acted upon. If upon
hearing the county judge/executive finds that the relevy asked for in the petition is
necessary in order to complete the work, the county judge/executive shall direct such
relevy to be made by the commission. The relevy shall be made in the same ratio as the
original assessment was made and shall be collected in the same way. Effective: June 17, 1978
