Tax exemption; establishing memorial and board of trustees
Status: in_force

Sec. 12. (a) If a city desires to erect or establish a memorial and the common council of the city:

(1) adopts a resolution declaring the desire;

(2) pledges the city to proceed promptly to erect the memorial in or near the city; and

(3) files a certified copy of the resolution with the board of county commissioners before the board has made an order granting a petition for a county memorial;

the taxable property of the city is exempt from the taxation authorized in this chapter for the erection, establishment, management, maintenance, repair, improvement, and extension of a county memorial. However, if the city, within one (1) year from the date of the order, has not in good faith begun the erection or establishment of a memorial that costs as much or more than the amount that would be derived from taxation of the taxable property of the city for the erection or establishment of the county memorial, then the exemption fails, and the property of the city shall be taxed for the county memorial in the same manner as other property of the county is taxed.

(b) If a person, an association, or a corporation establishes or erects in a city a suitable memorial for the permanent use of all people of the city as provided in section 15 of this chapter, and the cost of the memorial is equal to or more than the amount that would be derived from taxation of the property of the city for the erection or establishment of a county memorial, then the taxable property of the city is exempt from the taxation authorized in this chapter for the erection, establishment, management, maintenance, repair, improvement, and extension of a county memorial. However, the exemption fails unless the donor files with the board of county commissioners of the county in which a city is located a certificate signed by the donor declaring the intention to immediately begin the establishment or erection of the memorial. The signed certificate must be filed with the board of county commissioners before the board has issued an order granting a petition for a county memorial.

(c) A corporation, instead of filing the certificate described in subsection (b), shall file with the board a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors declaring the intention to immediately begin the establishment or erection of the memorial. The resolution must declare that the title to the memorial and the land upon which it is located are held by a board of trustees composed of five (5) members. The board of trustees and its successors are appointed by each donor. If there is a failure to make an appointment, the city council of the city shall have appointive power.

(d) The donors shall create an efficient organization among the people of the city to manage, maintain, repair, and improve the memorial under the powers and restrictions described in section 15 of this chapter. The organization consists of six (6) citizens of the city. Members of the organization:

(1) serve in a manner and for a term as lawfully provided by the donors;

(2) act in conjunction with the board of trustees as a board of managers; and

(3) have full charge and supervision of the establishment and erection of the memorial and its management, maintenance, repair, and improvement.

If the cost of management, maintenance, repair, and improvement exceeds the income derived from the memorial, the costs must be provided by voluntary contributions, donations, or endowments. The board of managers shall organize and adopt rules and bylaws for the conduct of its business as are usually adopted by similar bodies.

(e) If the memorial building and ground cease to be used for this purpose, the trustees shall reconvey the title to the donors, their heirs, successors, or assigns.

Status: in_force

Sec. 30. (a) In addition to disaster prevention measures as included in the state, local, and interjurisdictional disaster plans, the governor shall consider on a continuing basis steps that could be taken to prevent or reduce the harmful consequences of disasters. At the governor's direction, and under any other authority state agencies have, state agencies, including those charged with responsibilities in connection with:

(2) stream encroachment and flow regulation;

(3) fire prevention and control;

(4) air quality;

(5) public works; and

(b) In conjunction with the agency, an appropriate state agency shall keep land uses and construction of structures and other facilities under continuing study and identify areas that are particularly susceptible to:

(1) severe land shifting;

(2) subsidence;

(3) flood; or

(4) other catastrophic occurrence.

The studies under this subsection must concentrate on means of reducing or avoiding the dangers caused by this occurrence or its consequences.

(c) If the agency believes on the basis of the studies or other competent evidence:

(1) that an area is susceptible to a disaster of catastrophic proportions without adequate warning;

(2) that existing building standards and land use controls in that area are inadequate and could add substantially to the magnitude of the disaster; and

(3) that changes in zoning regulations, other land use regulations, or building requirements are essential in order to further the purposes of this section;

the agency shall specify the essential changes to the governor. The governor shall recommend changes to the agencies or local governments with jurisdiction over the area and subject matter that the governor finds to be essential upon review of the specified changes and a public hearing. If no action or insufficient action under the governor's recommendations is taken within the time specified by the governor, the governor shall inform the general assembly and request legislative action appropriate to mitigate the effect of disaster.

(d) The governor, at the same time that the governor makes recommendations under subsection (c), may:

(1) suspend the standard or control that the governor finds to be inadequate to protect the public safety; and

(2) by rule place a new standard or control in effect.

The new standard or control remains in effect until rejected by concurrent resolution of both houses of the general assembly or amended by the governor. When it is in effect, the standard or control contained in the governor's regulation is administered and given full effect by all relevant regulatory agencies of the state and local governments to which it applies. Any action taken by the governor under this section is subject to judicial review, but no court has jurisdiction to stay or restrain that action before a hearing on the merits.
