A. Within 45 days after the city manager has completed the report required in BC 3.03.030, the council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed reimbursement district and provide an opportunity for public comment. Developer shall provide the city with documentation illustrating the proposed public improvement for consideration and properties proposed for inclusion in the reimbursement district. The public hearing is for informational purposes only; the reimbursement district is not subject to mandatory termination because of objections to its formation. The council has the sole discretion after the public hearing to decide whether to approve forming the reimbursement district.

B. At least 10 days before the public hearing, the developer and all property owners in the proposed reimbursement district shall be notified by the city of the public hearing and its purpose. Notice shall be accomplished by regular mail. Notice is deemed effective on the date the notice is mailed. Failure of the developer or an affected property owner to receive notice does not invalidate or otherwise affect the validity of the reimbursement district resolution or the council’s authority. [BC 3.03.050, added by Ordinance No. 4834, 1/17/23]
