§ 30963 District Debt Modification Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can change why they need money, how much they need, or where the money will be used.
  • •They can also change the area that will get the improvements, but only if that area will actually benefit from it.
  • •They can't add places that won't get any good from the changes.

Example

A town wants to fix up a park and some streets. They plan to spend $100,000 on the park and $50,000 on the streets.

The town board can decide to spend more money on the streets instead of the park if they think the streets need it more. But they can't use the money to fix up a park in a different neighborhood if that neighborhood won't really benefit from it.

§ 30963 District Debt Modification Authority

The board may change the purposes for which the proposed debt is to be incurred, or the estimated cost, or the amount of bonded debt to be incurred, or the boundaries of the proposed improvement district or districts, or one or all of those matters. However, the board shall not change the boundaries so as to include any territory which will not, in its judgment, be benefited by the improvement. (Amended by Stats. 1983, Ch. 497, Sec. 23.)
