Upon receipt of a petition requesting a special assessment, a water development district board of directors must hold a hearing on the question. The board must publish notice of the hearing in the official newspaper of the district, at least once each week, for two consecutive weeks, before the hearing. The last publication must occur at least ten days prior to the hearing. If the board, after the hearing, determines that the project is consistent with the best interest of the district, the board must adopt a resolution of intent to specially assess.
