Merced Municipal Code Ch. 13.22 Supplemental Assessment

If the first assessment for any improvement or acquisition, or if the bonds issued to pay all costs, damages and expenses incurred or to be incurred, including any judgments rendered, or to be rendered, and the costs and expenses of the action or proceedings, or the estimated amount of any thereof, are insufficient, the council may order a supplemental assessment to raise the deficit.

(Prior code § 14A.81).

The assessment is made and collected in the same manner, as nearly as may be, as the first assessment, or a reassessment may be had therefor, and such proceedings may be repeated until sufficient money is raised to pay for same.

(Prior code § 14A.82).

Notice shall be given, protests may be made, and said supplemental assessment had, confirmed and recorded as provided in Chapter 13.20.

(Prior code § 14A.83).

Proceedings for notice, demand and payment shall be had as provided for the original assessment.

(Prior code § 14A.84).

Notwithstanding any provision in any act regarding the manner in which assessments may be determined, the city council may adopt and confirm such assessment as will, in their opinion, best and most equitably apportion the cost of the improvement among the benefited properties according to benefits received. For this purpose, the district may be divided into zones of benefit. The determination of the council is final and conclusive.

(Prior code § 14A.85).
