2021 Indiana Code|Title 8. Utilities and Transportation|Article 6. Railroad Crossings|Chapter 2.1. Railroad Grade Crossing Separations|8-6-2.1-28. Payment of Damages

Sec. 28. (a) The board, upon the completion of the award of damages, if any, or upon the determination of the appeals taken, shall make out certificates for the proper amounts and in favor of the proper persons. Presentation of the certificates to the city controller or clerk-treasurer of the city entitles those persons to a warrant drawn on the city treasury. The controller or clerk-treasurer shall pay the persons named the amounts due them respectively, as shown by the certificates, out of the separate and specific funds derived from the sale of bonds and from benefit assessments provided for in section 30 of this chapter, or out of funds coming from equitable settlements between the parties, and these payments may not be made from any other source or funds.(b) The certificates or vouchers shall, whenever practical, be tendered actually to the person entitled to them, but where this is impractical, they shall be kept for the persons in the office of the board, and the making and filing of the certificates, in all cases, is considered to be valid tender to the person entitled to them at the time or as soon as there are sufficient funds to pay them. They shall be delivered to the person on request. In case of dispute or doubt as to which of various persons the money shall be paid, the board shall make out the certificates in favor of the attorney appointed by the board for the use of the persons entitled to them, and the attorney shall draw the money and pay it into court, requiring the various claimants to interplead and have their respective rights determined.(c) If an injunction is obtained because damages have not been paid or tendered, the board shall tender the amount of damages with interest from the time of the entry of the property, if any has been made, and all accrued costs. If there are sufficient funds to pay the certificate, the injunction shall be removed. The pendency of an appeal to the circuit court, superior court, or probate court of a county does not affect the validity of a tender made under this section, but the board may proceed with its appropriation of the property in question.[Pre-Local Government Recodification Citation: 19-5-14-28.]As added by Acts 1980, P.L.8, SEC.70.

As the tax is distributed to the controller or clerk-treasurer it shall be deposited in a separate fund, to be known as the grade separation or railroad relocation and reconstruction bond fund, and shall be applied to the payment of the special taxing district bonds and interest as they severally mature, and to no other purposes. All accumulation of the fund prior to its use for the payment of the bonds and interest shall be deposited in the depository or depositories of other public funds in the city.[Pre-Local Government Recodification Citation: 19-5-14-31.]As added by Acts 1980, P.L.8, SEC.70.
