Protests—Procedure

Any owner of property proposed to be assessed or lessee of such property, as provided in section 14.46.020 , may object to the proposed improvement or any portion thereof, the extent of the proposed improvement district, or to any other matter contained in the preliminary report by filing a duly acknowledged written request with the county clerk at or before the time set for the hearing upon the proposed improvement. Such protest must contain a statement of the reasons therefor, a description of the property in which each signer thereof is interested sufficient to identify the same and, if the signers are not shown as the owners of such property in the records of the Department of Taxation of the state, must contain or be accompanied by written evidence that such signers are the owners, or such lessees, of such property. The clerk shall endorse on each protest the date of its receipt, and at the time appointed for the hearing shall present to the council all protests filed with him. Any filed protest may be withdrawn, in writing, at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing. (Ord. 801 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 25-5.1)
