  • A.

    After the actual cost of the public improvements has been ascertained, the borough assembly shall by ordinance assess a lien against each parcel enumerated in the estimated assessment roll adopted under KPB 5.35.110. The final assessment roll shall be developed in the same proportion to the estimated assessment roll as the actual cost of the improvement bears to the estimated cost of the improvement. This assessment shall be payable in the manner provided in the resolution to form the district and proceed with the improvement adopted under KPB 5.35.110, and shall be final upon the enactment of the ordinance.

    B.

    The assessment roll made under this section shall be filed with the borough assembly at the time of the introduction of said ordinance of assessment and shall be open to public inspection.

    C.

    Prior to enactment of the ordinance of assessment, the assembly shall:

    1.

    Fix a time to hear objections to the assessment roll;

    2.

    Provide that the borough clerk publish notice of the ordinance of assessment as required under KPB 22.40.010(D); and

    3.

    Provide that the borough clerk notify the owners of record of the parcels to be assessed for the improvement by regular mail not less than 10 days before the hearing; the notice shall include notice of individual assessment, notice of the time and place of the hearing and notice that the validity of the assessment may not be contested by a person who did not file with the borough clerk a written objection to the assessment roll before its confirmation. The notice shall also state the decision of the governing body on an objection may be appealed to the superior court within 30 days after the date of confirmation of the assessment roll, and if no objection is filed or appeal taken within that time, the assessment procedure is considered valid in all respects.
