TITLE 41 - WATER
CHAPTER 8 - WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
SECTION 41-8-116 - Hearing on proposed projects.

(a) Before any contract shall be let or work begun upon any improvement or project within the watershed improvement district, the cost of which cannot be exclusively financed by funds on hand, grants in aid, or financial assistance or gifts to the district, or before any contract may be entered into by the district with any governmental agency or body which will obligate the district to contribute financially beyond the extent of funds of the district then on hand, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to set a time and place within the district for a public hearing upon such proposal. Due notice of such hearing shall be given by the board of directors.

(b) At the time and place fixed for such hearing any owner of land situated within the watershed improvement district, or any other interested person, may appear and be heard as to his objections to such proposal.

(c) Following the public hearing the board of directors shall, by order or resolution, either affirm the proposal with or without modification or amendments, or disapprove the proposal. If the board of directors affirms the proposal, it shall determine the probable cost of and the proposed method of financing the improvement or project, the benefits to be derived therefrom, and whether the benefits will be conferred upon all land within the watershed improvement district or upon only certain land within the district, in which latter case the land to be benefited shall be described as to boundaries, ownership, and approximate acreage.
