§ 41-9-246 — Additional assessments; commissioner's petition; hearings; modification of budget

The commissioners of any drainage district within the state of
Wyoming shall not incur any indebtedness for current expenses of
the district in excess of the amount provided in the budget:
provided, however, in case a greater sum than that provided in
the budget is required the commissioners may file a petition
setting forth the causes therefor, with the clerk of the court
having jurisdiction of said district. Immediately upon the
filing of said petition the court shall make an order fixing the
time and place of hearing and directing the form and manner of
notice thereof to be given if the court deem such hearing
advisable. If the court shall authorize the expenditure of a
greater sum of money the commissioners shall be authorized to
incur indebtedness equal to the amount of the additional sum
authorized by the court, and in case the expenditure occurs at a
time when it is too late to place the amount upon the assessment
roll for the current year, such amounts may be added to the
budget of ensuing years. All debts contracted in contravention
of this section shall be void.
