(1)When the county judge/executive has confirmed an assessment for any
improvement and it has been modified by a court of superior jurisdiction, or for
some unforeseen cause it cannot be collected, the board may change the original
assessment to conform to the judgment of the court and to cover any deficit caused
by the order of the county judge/executive, or unforeseen occurrence.
(2)In any other case where, for any cause, it is ascertained that the amount assessed
against the property in the district is not sufficient to complete the improvement
provided for, and a petition is filed by the board, or any three
(3)or more of the
original petitioners, or by the board and three
(3)or more of the petitioners, stating
the amount of the deficit, the causes thereof and the amount necessary to be raised
in order to complete the work, and asking an additional assessment and levy, the
county judge/executive shall cause the county clerk to give notice of the filing and
purpose of the petition, and shall fix a time between ten
(10)and twenty
(20)days
from the giving of the notice when the petition will be acted upon, and exceptions,
answers or objections received. The notice shall be published pursuant to KRS
Chapter 424, and posted in at least three
(3)public places in the district. Such
publication shall be sufficient notice of the proceeding to all parties affected. Upon
hearing, if the county judge/executive finds that the additional assessment and levy
asked for in the petition are necessary and ought to be made in order to complete the
work, he shall direct such assessment and relevy to be made by the board.
(3)Any additional assessment and relevy made under this section shall be made in the
same ratio on the land benefited as the original assessment, and shall be collected in
the same way.
