§ 1205 Grade Separation Cost Modification

Key Takeaways

  • •If a local government is told to pay part of the cost for a project (like a bridge or road) without charging the people who benefit from it, they can ask for a change.
  • •The local government can go back to the commission (the group in charge) and ask them to change the rules about who pays.
  • •The commission can then make a new rule, just like they did the first time.

Example

A small town is told to pay for part of a new bridge, but they can't charge the people who use the bridge. Later, the town realizes this isn't fair.

The town can ask the commission to change the rule so they can charge the people who use the bridge. The commission can then make a new rule about who pays.

§ 1205 Grade Separation Cost Modification

If any order of the commission provides for the payment of a portion of the cost of any such grade separation by a political subdivision without authorizing the assessment of all or any part thereof upon a benefited district, the legislative body of the political subdivision may at any time thereafter apply to the commission to have the order modified in accordance with any finding made by the legislative body, and the commission may thereupon make a new or modified order in the same manner as if such application had been made to it before the making of the order. (Enacted by Stats. 1951, Ch. 764.)
