§ 5-17-14. Service plan; compliance; modification; enforcement
Status: in_force

A. Upon the organization of an infrastructure development zone, the facilities, services and financial arrangements of the infrastructure development zone shall conform so far as practicable to the approved service plan.

B. After the organization of an infrastructure development zone, material modifications of the service plan as originally approved may be made by the board only by petition to and approval by each governing body that approved the original service plan or that became an approving authority under Section 13 of the Infrastructure Development Zone Act in substantially the same manner as is provided for the approval of an original service plan; but the processing fee for the modification procedure shall not exceed the reasonable and actual cost incurred by the governing body. The approval of modifications shall be required only with regard to changes of a basic or essential nature, including:

(1) an addition to the types of services provided by the infrastructure development zone;

(2) a decrease in the level of services;

(3) a decrease in the financial ability of the infrastructure development zone to discharge the existing or proposed indebtedness; or

(4) a decrease in the existing or projected need for organized service in the area.

C. Approval for a modification is not required for changes necessary only for the execution of the original service plan or for changes in the boundary of the infrastructure development zone; except that the inclusion of property that is located in a county or a municipality with no other territory within the infrastructure development zone may constitute a material modification of the service plan or the statement of purposes of the infrastructure development zone. In the event that an infrastructure development zone changes its boundaries to include territory located in a county or a municipality with no other territory within the infrastructure development zone, the board shall notify the governing body of the county or municipality of the inclusion. The governing body may review the inclusion and, if it determines that the inclusion constitutes a material modification, may require the board to file a modification of its service plan in accordance with the provisions of this section.

D. No action may be brought to enjoin the construction of any facility, the issuance of bonds or other financial obligations, the levy of taxes, the imposition of rates, fees, tolls and charges or any other proposed activity of the infrastructure development zone unless the action is commenced within forty-five days after the board has published notice of its intention to undertake the activity. The notice shall describe the activity proposed to be undertaken by the infrastructure development zone and shall provide that any action to enjoin the activity as a material departure from the service plan shall be brought within forty-five days from publication of the notice. The notice shall be published one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the infrastructure development zone. On or before the date of publication of the notice, the board shall also mail the notice to each approving authority.
