KRS 74.200: Modification of assessment -- Relevy.

When the county judge/executive has confirmed an assessment for the construction of a

water system and the assessment has been modified by a court, or for some unforeseen

cause it cannot be collected, the commission may modify the assessment as originally

confirmed to conform to the judgment of the court and to cover any deficit caused by the

order of the county judge/executive or unforeseen occurrence. The relevy shall be made

for the additional sum required, in the same ratio as in the original assessment . In any

other case where it is ascertained that the amount assessed against the property in the

water district is not sufficient to complete the improvements provided for, such deficit

may be paid out of current reserve, or the county judge/executive may order a relevy upon

the petition of the commission, or any three (3) or more petitioners. The petition must set

forth the amount of the deficit, the causes thereof, and the amount necessary to be raised

in order to complete the work. The county judge/execu tive shall give notice of the filing

and purpose of the petition and fix a time, not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty

(20) days from the giving of the notice, when the petition shall be acted upon. If upon

hearing the county judge/executive finds th at the relevy asked for in the petition is

necessary in order to complete the work, the county judge/executive shall direct such

relevy to be made by the commission. The relevy shall be made in the same ratio as the

original assessment was made and shall be collected in the same way.
