After the governing body determines the cost of the interest and the assessment to be made against each tract of land within the district, it shall prepare an assessment roll. The proposed assessment roll shall be filed with the county clerk and be open for public inspection. The governing body shall publish a notice that it will meet to consider the proposed assessments. The notice shall be published once each week for two consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper. The second notice shall be published at least 10 days prior to the meeting and shall state the date, time and place of the meeting, the cost of the interest, the proposed method of assessment and that written or oral objections will be considered at the hearing. A copy of the notice also shall be mailed by prepaid first-class mail at least 10 days prior to the hearing to all landowners made liable to pay the assessments. The failure of any landowner to receive the notice shall not invalidate the proceedings. At the meeting or at any adjournment thereof, the governing body shall hear all objections to each proposed assessment and may amend the proposed assessments as to any tract of land. The governing body shall levy the special assessments against the property described in the assessment roll by the adoption and publication of the appropriate resolution. The assessment shall become a lien on the property against which the assessment is made from the effective date of the resolution. Each year thereafter, the governing body shall determine and apportion the cost of the interest on the basis it determines and shall levy a special assessment therefor. Notice of the assessment shall be published once each week for two consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper.
After the governing body determines the amount of the cost of the improvement remaining unpaid and the assessment to be made against each tract of land within the district, it shall prepare an assessment roll. The proposed assessment roll shall be filed with the county clerk and be open for public inspection. The governing body shall call and hold a meeting to consider the proposed assessments. Notice of the meeting shall be given in the same manner provided in subsection (b). At the meeting or at any adjournment thereof, the governing body shall hear all objections to each assessment and may amend the proposed assessments as to any tract of land. The governing body shall levy the special assessments against the property described in the assessment roll by the adoption and publication of the appropriate resolution. The special assessment shall become a lien on the property against which the assessment is made from the effective date of the resolution. The resolution shall be published once each week for two consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper and shall include a notice stating that at any time within 30 days after the final publication of the resolution, the assessments may be paid in full without interest. A copy of the resolution and the notice also shall be mailed by prepaid first-class mail to all landowners made liable to pay the assessments at least 10 days prior to the date when the assessments may last be paid in full without interest. The failure of any landowner to receive the notice shall not invalidate the apportionment of the cost. If the assessment is paid in full within the period as to any tract of land, the tract shall be relieved from any further liability for special assessments therefor. If within the period an error in the making of the apportionment is discovered by the governing body, the tract shall be relieved from further liability for the special assessments to the extent of payment made. The governing body shall correct the error and in its discretion may reapportion the cost following the same procedure for apportionment as in the first instance.
After the date on which no more assessments may be paid, the governing body may issue general obligation bonds for the unpaid amount of the assessments. The bonds shall be authorized, issued, registered and sold in the manner provided by the general bond law and shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009.
