§ 37-13-111 — Public hearing; changes in proposed improvements or in area of improvement district

(a) At the time and place specified in the notice, the
governing body shall meet and proceed to hear and pass upon all
objections and protests to the creation of the proposed
district, the making of the proposed improvements, and the
benefits accruing to any tract, lot or parcel of land therein.
The hearing may be adjourned from time to time to a fixed future
time and place. If at any time during the hearings, it appears
to the governing body that changes in the proposed improvements
or the proposed district should be made, which, after
consultation with the public utilities concerned, appear to
affect either the cost or feasibility of the improvements, the
hearing shall be adjourned to a fixed future time and place and
a new cost and feasibility report prepared on the basis of the
contemplated changes.
(b) If at any time during the public hearing the governing
body is presented with a petition signed by more than fifty
percent (50%) of the property owners of the proposed district
protesting the proposed improvement and the petition is still
outstanding at the close of the public hearing the district and
project shall be abandoned.
(c) After the hearing has been concluded and after all
protests and objections have been considered, the governing body
may make changes in the proposed improvements or in the area to
be included in the district as it may consider necessary or
desirable, provided the changes are not substantial. Notice and
an opportunity to protest shall be given if substantial changes
are desired by the governing body. The governing body shall
either abandon the district and project or adopt a resolution
establishing the district and authorizing the project, either as
described in the notice or with changes made as above
authorized. The resolution shall be published in the manner
provided in W.S. 37-13-110 but need not be mailed.
(d) If a resolution is adopted establishing the district,
the resolution shall conclusively establish the regular
organization of the district against all persons, unless an
action contesting the validity of the organization is commenced
in a court of competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days
after the adoption of the resolution. Thereafter, any action is
barred and the organization of the district shall not be
directly or collaterally questioned in any suit, action or
proceeding.
