103E.231 DISMISSAL OR DELAY OF PROCEEDINGS BY PETITIONERS.
    Subdivision 1. Dismissal. (a) A proceeding under this chapter may be dismissed by a
majority of the petitioners if they own at least 60 percent of the area owned by all of the petitioners
as described in the petition.
(b) The proceeding may be dismissed at any time before the proposed drainage project is
established after payment of the cost of the proceeding. If the costs cannot be collected, each and
all petitioners are liable for unpaid assessments. The drainage authority shall determine and assess
the cost of the proceeding against the persons liable. After the proceeding is dismissed any other
action on the proposed drainage project must begin with a new petition.
    Subd. 2. Delay. The drainage authority may delay drainage proceedings and drainage
project construction under this chapter if a majority of the petitioners petition for a delay and the
drainage authority holds a hearing on the petition. The delay may be for a period determined by
the drainage authority. The drainage authority shall determine the cost of the proceedings up to
the time the proceedings are delayed and when the costs are to be paid. The costs may include
interest on the costs due.
