Any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, the Council reserves the following powers over any improvement district proposal, whether County-initiated or initiated by petition of owners:If, for any reason whatsoever, the improvement district bonds authorized under this Chapter are not sold or cannot be sold to any acceptable purchaser within a reasonable time, then the Council shall have the power and authority to terminate the entire improvement district project, or any part thereof. In the event that the project is terminated, in the case of petitions by owners, the petitioners shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the County for such improvement district. The County may assure such repayment by requiring reasonable deposits therefor.In addition to the foregoing, at any time during the proceedings of any improvement district proposal up to and including the adoption of the assessment ordinance, the Council shall have the power and authority to terminate the entire improvement district project, or any part thereof, if it determines that the improvement district project is not in the public interest.In addition to the foregoing, at any time during the proceedings of any improvement district proposal up to and including the adoption of the assessment ordinance, the Council shall have the power and authority to require the inclusion of costs of off-site improvements such as roads, water, sewers, drainage, which may be outside the improvement district boundaries but which service the improvement district. In the event that such costs are to be so included, the appropriate resolutions and ordinances shall be amended accordingly.
