Sec. 35. (a) From the sanitary district bond fund and not from any other source, the board shall pay to the appropriate parties the amounts respectively due them for land, rights-of-way, or other property taken or purchased or for work done by contract or otherwise. If all or part of the land, rights-of-way, or other property is secured by purchase or contract, payment shall be made according to the terms of the contract. If property is taken by condemnation under this chapter, the amount of damages assessed shall be paid within ninety (90) days after the final determination of the condemnation proceedings or as soon after that as the fund from the bonds is available. The title to the land, rights-of-way, or other property or that part paid for or otherwise acquired for that purpose then vests in the municipality in the manner, to the extent, for the purpose, and subject to the limitations of this chapter.
(b) The board shall order that payments from the funds be made to contractors in the amounts and at the times they determine. The board may retain a part of the amount otherwise due the contractor. The amount that may be retained by the board is as follows:
(1) Until work is fifty percent (50%) complete, not more than ten percent (10%) of the payment claimed.
(2) When work is fifty percent (50%) complete, five percent (5%) of the value of all work satisfactorily completed to date, as long as the contractor is making satisfactory progress and there is no specific cause for greater withholding.
(3) When the work is substantially complete (operational or beneficially occupied), an amount below five percent (5%) that is necessary to assure completion.
