§ 40-22-26 — Petition by property owners to have paving of certain material - Contents

If the governing body has called for bids on more than one kind of pavement, after the
opening of the bids in connection with an improvement consisting of paving or repaving and
before the meeting of the governing body to consider the same, the owners of a majority of the
property liable to be specially assessed for such paving or repaving may file a written petition
with the city auditor indicating that the petitioners have a preference for a certain type of paving
or paving material for which bids have been invited. Upon receiving such petition, it shall be
obligatory upon the governing body to cause the paving or repaving to be constructed of a kind
of paving material indicated in the petition. The petition may consist of a single petition or
several separate petitions signed by the owners of a majority of the property liable to be
specially assessed for such improvement or by their authorized agents.
