§ 32-24-2-14 — Payment of damage awards

The works board may determine if any part
of the damages awarded shall be paid out of funds appropriated for the
use of the board. However, not more than two thousand dollars
($2,000) in damages may be paid out of the municipality's funds for
any improvement or condemnation except under an ordinance
appropriating money for the specific improvement or condemnation.
All benefits assessed and collected by the fiscal officer or county
treasurer are subject to draft, in the usual manner, upon certificate by
the works board in favor of persons to whom damages have been
awarded. Any surplus remaining above actual awards belongs to the
municipality. The works board may delay proceedings until the benefits
have been collected.
