Assessment of benefits and damages
Status: in_force

Sec. 17. (a) This section provides for the assessment of benefits and damages to property within the automated transit district. For the purpose of providing all or part of the cost of payment of principal and interest on bonded indebtedness, and expenses of planning, construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of the automated transit system and related parking facilities and services after the completion of the same, including as a part of such cost the general expenses of the commission, the commission may make an annual assessment of benefits and damages. The assessment shall be against the site value of the lands only.

(b) The commission shall annually prepare a schedule which describes each tract of land in the district that it determines to be benefited by the automated transit system, and states the percentage of the total benefit that is received by each tract of land. In order to prepare this schedule, the commission shall appoint three (3) disinterested persons, who are licensed real estate brokers or appraisers licensed under IC 25-34.1 who are residents of Indiana, as appraisers to make an examination of the property within the improvement district. One (1) of the persons appointed under this subsection must reside not more than fifty (50) miles from the property. Upon request from the appraisers, the commission may retain or employ qualified personnel to render any necessary technical or consulting assistance, and may supply the appraisers with any information available or obtainable which will assist in making the assessment. Upon such examination, such appraisers shall make an assessment of all special benefits and damages, if any, which will accrue from the construction and operation of the automated transit system, as to each parcel of real estate. All property within the district (or owned or operated by the district), except common green areas, shall be conclusively presumed to be benefited by the existence of the district to the extent determined under this section as its assessed benefit. A copy of the roll of all owners of real estate, signed by all three (3) appraisers, showing the assessment of benefits and damages, if any, shall be filed by the appraisers with the commission not less than thirty (30) days after their appointment, unless the commission shall extend the time.

(c) Promptly after the filing of an assessment, the commission shall cause a notice to be mailed, by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to each owner of real estate to be assessed. The notices shall be deposited in the mail twenty-one (21) days before the hearing date, shall set forth the amount of the proposed assessment, shall state that the proposed assessments on each parcel of real estate in the district are on file and can be seen in the office of the commission, and shall set forth the date when the commission will, at its office, receive written remonstrances against the assessment on the parcel and hear all owners of real estate assessed who have filed written remonstrances prior to the date fixed for the hearing. It shall be sufficient if the notices to the owners are addressed as the names and addresses appear upon the tax duplicates in the records of the county auditor.

(d) At the time so fixed in such notice, the commission shall hear all owners of real estate assessed who have filed written remonstrances prior to the date of the hearing. The hearing may be continued from time to time as long as may be necessary to hear such owners.

(e) The commission shall complete such assessment roll by rendering its decision by increasing, or decreasing, or by confirming each assessment by setting opposite each name, parcel and appraisers' assessment, the amount of the assessment as determined by the commission. If the total of the assessments exceeds the amount needed, the commission shall further make pro rata reduction in each assessment. The signing of such roll by a majority of the commission members, and the delivery thereof to the fiscal officer of the city shall constitute a final and conclusive determination of the benefits or damages, if any, assessed. However, any owner who had previously filed a written remonstrance as provided in this section with the board or any owner whose assessment was increased above the amount fixed by the appraisers, whether he filed such a written remonstrance or not, may appeal. Such appeal shall be taken as provided in IC 34-13-6, and shall proceed to trial, hearing, and final judgment in the manner and with the effect as provided in IC 34-13-6 as to all parties.

(f) If the final determination of the commission results in the total funds being inadequate to cover the cost of the improvement, the deficiency may be supplied by other sources as provided in this chapter.

(g) Each assessment shall be a lien on the real estate assessed, second only to taxes levied on such property.

(h) The commission shall annually transmit to the county auditor the schedule of assessment of benefits. The county auditor shall enter the assessment of benefits on the tax duplicates, and the county treasurer shall collect and enforce the amount of the assessed benefit in the same manner as property taxes are entered, collected, and enforced.

(i) The county treasurer charged with the duty of collecting such taxes shall, between the first and tenth days of each month, notify the commission of the amount of such special taxes collected during the preceding month, and upon the date of notification above referred to such county treasurer shall credit the amount so collected to a fund of such district to be designated as the "____________________ Automated Transit District Fund", and such fund shall be used and expended for no other purpose than as stated in this section. The commission shall have full, complete, and exclusive authority to expend for and on behalf of the district all sums of money thus realized. The commission may, by resolution, authorize and make temporary loans in anticipation of the collection of the special benefit taxes actually levied and in the course of collection under this section, which loans shall mature and be paid within the year in which made, and shall bear interest payable at the maturity of the loan. Such temporary loans shall be evidenced by warrants.

Status: in_force

Sec. 8. (a) For the purpose of raising money to pay for the acquisition of any utility property which said city shall have the right to and shall determine to acquire, or which any such city may take over as trustee for the inhabitants thereof, including any money required to be paid for the purpose of redeeming or extinguishing the capital stock of any utility whose property may be so taken over and for the purpose of paying any outstanding obligations of any utility company subject to which the property of any such utility may be taken over by any such city, or held by it in trust for the inhabitants thereof; or for the purpose of making necessary betterments, improvements, extensions or additions to any utility property owned, or so held in trust, by said city, the board of directors for utilities shall cause to be issued in the name of the said city the bonds of said utility district not to exceed in amount the total cost of any such utility so purchased, or so held in trust, and for the outstanding obligations of any utility subject to which the property is to be taken over and which it is desired to pay off and discharge and/or of any such additions, betterments, improvements, extensions or additions to any utility owned, or so held in trust, and including all expenses necessarily incurred in connection with the acquisition of any such property, the paying off of any such indebtedness or the making of any such improvements, extensions or additions thereto. Such bonds shall be issued in any denominations not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) each, and shall be payable at such period not longer than thirty (30) years after date, and in such series or series as such board of directors may by resolution determine. Said bonds shall be negotiable as inland bills of exchange, and shall bear interest at any rate, payable semiannually. On adopting a resolution ordering said bonds, said board of directors shall certify a copy of the same to the city controller of said city, who shall thereupon prepare said bonds and the same shall be executed by the mayor of said city and attested by the city controller. Such bonds shall be exempt from taxation for any and all purposes. All of said bonds so issued by the board of directors shall be sold by the city controller to the highest bidder therefor, but in no event for less than par, after giving notice of sale of such bonds by publication in accordance with IC 5-3-1. Any bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, whether bonds of said utility district, or mortgage bonds, certificates of indebtedness, or other obligations, as hereinafter provided for in this chapter, shall be valid and binding without obtaining the approval of the commission or the department of local government finance of the state of Indiana. It shall be unlawful for said board of directors for utilities to cause to be issued under this chapter any bonds of said utility district payable by special taxation when the total issue for that purpose, including the bonds already issued and outstanding and those proposed to be issued, is in excess of two percent (2%) of the total adjusted value of taxable property in the district as determined under IC 36-1-15, and all bonds or obligations issued in violation of this provision shall be void. Said bonds shall not in any respect be a corporate obligation or indebtedness of said city, but shall be and constitute an indebtedness of said utility district as a special taxing district, and said bonds and interest thereon shall be payable out of a special tax levy upon all of the property of said utility district, or from surplus earnings as in this chapter provided; and said bonds shall recite such terms upon their face, together with the purpose for which they are issued. No suit to question the validity of said bonds so issued for said utility district or to prevent their issue and sale shall be instituted after the date set for the sale of said bonds, and all said bonds from and after said date shall be incontestable for any cause whatsoever.

(b) In event any such city shall, pursuant to any contract right so to do, determine to take over the property and business of any utility company by the payment to it of the amount necessary to pay off the stock of such company, the proceeds of any such utility district bonds issued and sold as herein provided may, so far as is necessary, be paid over to any such utility company at the time of the conveyance, transfer, or taking over of its property, for the purpose of enabling such company to discharge its obligations to its stockholders in accordance with the provisions of any such contract.

(c) In addition to the authority granted to issue utility district bonds the board of directors of any such utility district for the purpose of providing necessary funds with which to pay the cost of acquiring any utility property, or paying off any existing indebtedness of or upon any utility property, so acquired, or to pay the expenses of operation of any such utility property, including the cost of any betterments or extensions, may make temporary loans in the form of certificates of indebtedness, which shall be a charge solely against either the particular utility property or against the earnings thereof, or both, on behalf of which the same is borrowed; or said board of directors may authorize the issuance of mortgage bonds secured by a mortgage upon the property or upon the earnings, or both, of the particular utility for whose benefit such moneys are borrowed; and any such certificates of indebtedness and mortgages shall constitute charges as may be indicated aforesaid by the directors when authorizing the same and shall contain such terms and provisions and shall be sold at such price and shall bear such rate of interest as such board of directors may approve.

(d) Such mortgage indebtedness shall not constitute a general obligation of such city, or of such utility district, but the holders thereof shall be entitled to look solely to the mortgaged property and the revenues derived from the operation thereof for the repayment of such indebtedness.

(e) All such certificates of indebtedness and mortgage bonds shall be signed by the mayor of such city and attested by the city controller, and shall on their face show the purpose for which they are issued and the character of the obligation created thereby. All such certificates of indebtedness and mortgage bonds, or either thereof, shall be exempt from all taxation.
