Payment of damage awards
Sec. 14. The works board may determine if any part of the
damages awarded shall be paid out of funds appropriated for the use
of the board. However, not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000)
in damages may be paid out of the municipality's funds for any
improvement or condemnation except under an ordinance
appropriating money for the specific improvement or condemnation.
All benefits assessed and collected by the fiscal officer or county
treasurer are subject to draft, in the usual manner, upon certificate by
the works board in favor of persons to whom damages have been
awarded. Any surplus remaining above actual awards belongs to the
municipality. The works board may delay proceedings until the
benefits have been collected.
As added by P.L.2-2002, SEC.9.
