The procedures established by this article shall relate solely
to the collection of benefits assessed and payment of damages appraised
and other expenses incurred as a result of action taken by the Commission
pursuant to the powers vested in it by Section 8-29 of the General
Statutes of Connecticut, as amended from time to time.
There is hereby established a revolving account to be held by
the Financial Director separate from the Town general fund to be known
as the "Road Layout and Improvement Fund." All amounts received by
the Town from the assessment of benefits for the layout and improvement
of roads by the Commission pursuant to the powers vested in it by
Section 8-29 of the General Statutes of Connecticut, as amended from
time to time, shall be paid into such fund by the Tax Collector. Sums
held in such fund shall be used solely for the engineering legal fees,
construction costs, payment of damages and other expenses incurred
in action taken or recommended pursuant to said Section 8-29. Expenditure
of the money held in such fund shall be authorized in the same fashion
as any annual or special appropriation, but such appropriation shall
be only for the purposes specified in this section. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to limit the power of the Town to make additional
annual or special appropriations to pay for projects undertaken pursuant
to said Section 8-29, nor shall this section be a limitation on any
powers which the Town or its boards or commissions may have to acquire,
lay out, maintain or improve streets and highways pursuant to sections
of the General Statutes other than Section 8-29, or to make appropriations
therefor.
If by amendment or repeal of this chapter the Road Layout and
Improvement Fund ceases to exist for the purposes for which it is
created, then all sums held therein not lawfully appropriated shall
be added to the general fund.
