ORDINANCE CREATING IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND PROCEDURE FOR
CONSTRUCTION BIDS. If, after the hearing on the creation of the district, the
council finds (a) that the district will be for the best interest of the
property affected and the municipality, (b) that there is reasonable
probability that the obligations of such district will be paid, and (c) the
value of the property within the proposed district, including the proposed
improvements, is sufficient, it shall then enact an ordinance providing for
such improvements and creating a local improvement district to be called
"Local Improvement District No. ...... for ............, Idaho," which shall
include all of the property within said district in accordance with the
findings of the council, and said ordinance shall set forth the boundaries of
the district, provide the improvements which shall be made, and state that the
total cost and expenses thereof shall be assessed according to the percentage
or calculation hereinbefore mentioned on all benefited property in the
district by using the method of assessment contemplated in the notice of
intention subject to any variation therefrom as a result of the council's
determining that the benefits to be derived by certain lots or parcels of
property warrant such variations. The council may either purchase, acquire or
construct the improvements. The council shall appoint an engineer. If the
council elects to construct the improvements, the engineer shall have prepared
the necessary plans and specifications for the construction work ordered.
Except as hereinafter otherwise provided, the council shall authorize the
advertisement for bids therefor by giving notice calling for sealed bids in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 28, title 67, Idaho Code.
Any acquisition, purchase or construction contract made by a municipality
for any improvements authorized by this code shall be made by the council in
the name of the municipality upon such terms of payment as shall be fixed by
the council. The contract shall be authorized by resolution empowering the
authorized officer of the municipality to execute the contract. The resolution
need not set out the contract in full but it shall be sufficient if the
resolution refers to a copy of the contract on file in the office of the clerk
where it is available for public inspection.
Any provision in this local improvement district code notwithstanding, if
any municipality shall elect to exercise the powers herein granted jointly
with any other public agency or agencies as authorized by the provisions of
section 67-2328, Idaho Code, the improvements as contemplated within the local
improvement district may be constructed jointly and as part of a larger
project with such other agency or agencies upon the letting of a single
contract after compliance with the required bidding procedure for any Idaho
public agency jointly participating in the work.
