428A.08 PETITION REQUIRED.
No action may be taken under section 428A.02 unless owners of 25 percent or more of the
land area of property that would be subject to service charges in the proposed special service
district and owners of 25 percent or more of the net tax capacity of property that would be subject
to service charges in the proposed special service district file a petition requesting a public hearing
on the proposed action with the city clerk. No action may be taken under section 428A.03 to
impose a service charge based on net tax capacity unless owners of 25 percent or more of the
land area subject to a proposed service charge and owners of 25 percent or more of the net tax
capacity subject to a proposed service charge file a petition requesting a public hearing on the
proposed action with the city clerk. No action may be taken under section 428A.03 to impose any
other type of service charge unless 25 percent or more of the individual or business organizations
subject to the proposed service charge file a petition requesting a public hearing on the proposed
action with the city clerk. If the boundaries of a proposed district are changed or the land area or
net tax capacity subject to a service charge or the individuals or business organizations subject to
a service charge are changed after the public hearing, a petition meeting the requirements of this
section must be filed with the city clerk before the ordinance establishing the district or resolution
imposing the service charge may become effective.
