• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 31: Government
• Art.: Water and Sewage

Text

In case such proposed
improvement consists of the establishment, construction, extending, or completing
of any sidewalk in said city or town, the ordinance shall specify the property in front
of which the sidewalk is to be constructed, extended, or completed; the names of
the owners of said property; and the length, width, grade, and material of which the
sidewalk is to be constructed. The governing body, as soon thereafter as the cost of
said improvements can be definitely ascertained, shall assess the cost thereof upon
the lots respectively in front of which said sidewalk is to be constructed. Such
assessment, when completed, shall be subject to inspection by any interested
person. Notice of the making and completion of the assessment shall be given by
the publication of a notice to the effect that said assessment has been made upon
said lots and is ready for inspection. The notice shall be published at least once a
week for four successive weeks in some newspaper published or of general
circulation in said city or town and shall designate a day upon which the governing
body shall sit for the purpose of hearing objections thereto and making corrections
therein. Upon the day designated, the governing body shall sit for said purpose and
hear any objections that may be made and shall thereupon make any such changes
in said assessments as may in their judgment be necessary, equitable, or just and
shall thereupon finally determine such assessments. Such assessments, when so
finally determined, shall be a lien upon the property so assessed for the purpose of
making said improvement. An appeal shall lie to any court of competent jurisdiction
from any decision of such governing body.
