BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO CITY IRRIGATION SYSTEMS; AMENDING SECTION 50-1807, IDAHO CODE, TO
3 CLARIFY THE PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE DATE FOR MAKING AN ESTIMATE OF THE
4 EXPENSES FOR THE SYSTEM FOR PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENTS AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL

6 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7 SECTION 1. That Section 50-1807, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
8 amended to read as follows:
9 50-1807. LEVYING OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS TO DEFRAY OPERATING AND MAINTE-
10 NANCE COSTS. The clerk of such city which shall acquire and operate a city
11 irrigation system under sections 50-1801 through 50-1835, Idaho Code, shall
12 act as the assessor of such irrigation system and shall, on or before the 4th
13 fourth Monday of January of each year, prepare an assessment book containing a
14 full and accurate list and description of all of the lots, parcels, pieces and
15 tracts of land within the boundaries of such city irrigation system to which
16 irrigation water is being supplied by such system, and a list of the persons
17 who own, claim or have in possession or control thereof during said year, giv-
18 ing the number of acres in the unplatted portion of such city and the number
19 of the lots and blocks within the boundaries of such city irrigation system
20 listed to each person. The mayor and council of such city shall, on or before
21 the second Monday Wednesday of February of each year, unless a legal holiday,
22 then on the next succeeding work day, meet and make an estimate of the neces-
23 sary funds for the expenses of maintaining, operating, improving, extending
24 and enlarging said city irrigation system for the ensuing calendar current
25 fiscal year. Said estimate shall also include a reasonable sum not to exceed
26 ten per cent percent (10%) of the total estimate for anticipated unpaid and
27 delinquent taxes and such sum as may be necessary to retire outstanding war-
28 rants, indebtedness, sinking funds, bonds and interest of a city irrigation
29 system, and shall spread the same upon their minutes and shall thereupon
30 apportion to each lot, piece or parcel of land within the boundiaries bound-
31 aries of such irrigation system in proportion to the benefits received by such
32 lot, piece or parcel of land growing out of the maintenance and operation of
33 such irrigation system. Such assessment shall be immediately carried out by
34 the city clerk and entered under appropriate columns on the assessment roll.
35 Said assessment roll shall contain an appropriate column for each item
36 assessed and shall be subject to review by the mayor and council of the city
37 as hereinafter provided. On or before the 1st first day of March of each year
38 the city clerk must give notice of the time the mayor and council shall meet
39 to correct the assessments so made; said notice shall be published twice at
40 intervals of not less than six (6) days in the official newspaper to give
41 notice when the mayor and council will meet to correct such assessments so
42 levied and assessed as herein provided. The time fixed for such meeting shall
43 not be later than the 20th twentieth day of March of each year and in the
2
1 meantime the assessment books shall remain in the office of the city clerk for
2 the inspection of any person interested.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS11134C1
Current law requires that municipal irrigation assessments
be set on the second Monday of February. Often, this
requires a special called meeting.This legislation would
allow municipal irrigation assessments to be set on or
before the second Wednesday of February, which would enable
the city council to set assessments at a regularly
scheduled meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Would result in a modest saving of city funds by not having
to have a special called meeting.
