In the resolution of adoption of a plat, the governing body shall appoint a board of three appraisers and shall fix the time and place of meetings for hearings by said board upon the amounts of compensation to be paid for such reservations. Thereupon the clerk shall publish in at least two newspapers of general circulation in the municipality once a week for four consecutive weeks a notice which shall contain a general description of the land thus reserved as shown on the plat, the provisions of the resolution of the governing body, including the period of time for which such reservations are made, the time within which claims for compensation may be filed, which shall be not less than three nor more than six months from the date of notice, and the time and place of hearings by the board of appraisers. The first hearing shall not be set earlier than thirty days after the date of the first of such publications. Such notice shall also be posted in at least three public places in the neighborhood of or along the line of the location of the reservation.

The board of appraisers shall fix the amounts of compensation to be paid, respectively, to the owners of lands reserved for the period of time as shown on the plat and in the resolution adopted by the governing body.

At the time and place fixed for such hearings, the board of appraisers shall hear and consider all claims presented to it in writing or in person, including all evidence which may be presented by the claimants or other persons.

(1)
The board of appraisers, within ninety days after the time fixed for the filing of claims, shall file its tentative report with the clerk setting forth its findings as to the amounts of compensation to be paid the respective owners of the lands included within the lines of such reservations as located on the approved plat. Thereupon the clerk shall publish once a week for two consecutive weeks in at least two newspapers of general circulation in the municipality the fact of the filing of the report of the appraisers and specify a period of thirty days after the date of the first such publication within which objections to the report may be filed with the clerk. If objections are filed within said period, the clerk shall cause the board of appraisers to hold a meeting at which said objections shall be transmitted to the board, and the board may modify its report. The report in its original form or, if modified, in its modified form shall be transmitted to the governing body by the clerk.

Before passing on the report, the governing body may return it to the board of appraisers for reconsideration, and the board, upon further consideration, may transmit its former or modified report to the governing body. The governing body may approve or disapprove the report. If the report is approved by the governing body, it shall provide for the payment of the amounts of compensation set forth in the report within ninety days after the filing of the report with the governing body. In the case of those property owners who file claims, payment shall be made through the clerk who shall notify the claimants at the addresses given upon the claims filed with him. Payments to all other persons shall be made through the clerk of the district court of the county in which the reserved location is situated by the payment to said clerk of the amounts awarded to such persons. Notice of distribution to such persons shall be given and made as may be provided by a rule or order of said court. Payments made to the clerk or clerk of the district court within said ninety days shall be deemed compliance with the above requirement for payment within ninety days.
(3)
If the governing body disapproves the report or fails to provide for such payment within ninety days, such disapproval or failure shall be deemed a dismissal of the proceedings, a cancellation of the plat, and an abandonment of the reservations of the street locations as shown on the plat, with the same liability of the municipality for expenses as provided in the case of abandonment by resolution. Thereafter the clerk shall transmit to the county clerk and recorder an attested statement of such abandonment.
