46A-14-51. Examination of and hearings on plans--Resolution as to payment of costs by general tax levy, special assessment, or improvement bonds--List of benefited lands and owners. The managers shall carefully examine the plans and hold hearings on the proposals in the plans. By resolution, the managers shall resolve whether the proposed work, or any part of the proposed work, should be accomplished and whether its cost shall be paid by a general tax levy against all taxable landowners' land and buildings located within the district, or by special assessment against the landowners' lands and buildings within the district to be specially benefited by the project, or by both general tax levy and special assessment and the portion to be paid by each. The managers shall prepare a description of each tract of benefited land and shall list the names of the owners of the benefited land as shown by the county tax records, which document shall be on file in the district office and available for public inspection during regular business hours. The managers shall also determine in the resolution whether to issue improvement bonds of the district, or other authorized arrangement, to provide for the payment of the cost of the project by installments instead of levying the entire tax or special assessment at one time.
