(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.
(2) 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.
