§ 540A.262. Prerequisites to determining, expanding or amending boundaries of district for remediation: Hearing; publication of notice of hearing; adoption of ordinance; certain bonds or financial obligations paid in full; territory not required to be contiguous

1. Before determining the boundaries of a district for remediation, the board shall

hold a hearing. It shall cause notice of the hearing to be published at least once not less than 15

days before the hearing in a display advertisement at least 3 by 5 inches in size

in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. The notice must contain a description of the boundaries of the district by assessor's

parcel number, or by metes and bounds or other legal description, or state that a

description of the boundaries of the district is on file at the office of the county

clerk for public examination. 2. After the hearing, the board shall make such adjustments to the proposed boundaries

of the district as appear to the board to be necessary, but the boundaries may not

be expanded to include any property not included in the proposed boundaries of the

district described in the notice of hearing or filed with the county clerk unless

another hearing is held, after notice given by publication in the manner provided

in subsection 1. After the hearing and any adjustment to the boundaries of the district

required by this section, the board shall designate the boundaries of the district

by ordinance, which may not be adopted as if an emergency existed. 3. The board may from time to time amend the boundaries of the district. Any such amendment must be made by ordinance adopted after a hearing held in the manner

provided in subsection 1. Notice of that hearing must be given by publication in the

manner provided in subsection 1. The board may not amend the boundaries of the district

to exclude any property if bonds have been issued or other financial obligations incurred

for the district until those bonds or other financial obligations have been paid in

full. 4. The territory of the district established pursuant to subsection 2 and, if applicable,

expanded pursuant to subsection 3 need not be contiguous.
