It shall be lawful and become a policy of the city to make extensions of utilities and capital improvements to lots, blocks, and areas where deemed necessary and feasible by the city council; and for the city to share in the costs of the project with the property owners.
(Ordinance 169-05, sec. 9, adopted 2/24/05)
For the purpose of this section utilities are defined as the service of water, natural gas, and sewer. Capital improvements are defined as paving, curb and gutter, drainage, parks, or anything that would enhance the value of the property involved.
(Ordinance 169-05, sec. 9, adopted 2/24/05)
(a) 
Costs of the project will be determined first by an estimate and if deemed feasible by the city council, work may be accomplished by city crews or let by contract in the conventional manner.
(b) 
Cost of the project when completed will be computed the total linear footage of the project. The share that the city contributes to each project will be determined by the city council. A contract will be executed between the parties involved outlining the distribution and sharing of costs and terms of payment therefore.
(Ordinance 169-05, sec. 9, adopted 2/24/05)
The property owners in each case will be billed for their share of the costs as determined by the city council and if not paid within sixty (60) days, the amount of costs billed to them will draw ten (10) percent interest until paid. In the case of utility extensions, no building permit will be issued to an owner for a dwelling and no connections of utilities will be made to any dwelling erected thereon until the owner’s share of the improvement is paid.
