Tennessee Code Title 7. Consolidated Governments and Local Governmental Functions and Entities § 7-84-813

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) All persons whose property may be affected by such improvement may appear at the public hearing in person, by attorney, or by petition and protest against the creation of the infrastructure development district. The governing body shall consider the objections and protests, if any, and may change the district boundaries or modify the proposal in such manner as may be deemed advisable by the governing body.

(2) At the conclusion of the public hearing, each applicable governing body shall adopt, adopt as amended, or reject the organization of the proposed infrastructure development district by the adoption or rejection of a resolution setting out the district. In host municipalities requiring two (2) or more readings before passage of a resolution due to local charter or ordinance requirements, all required readings must be held prior to the public hearing, except the final reading, so that the adoption may take place at the conclusion of the public hearing.

(b) A person who fails to protest, who fails to appear at the public hearing to protest, or, having filed a protest, who withdraws the protest, is deemed to have waived any objection to the creation of the district, the making of the improvements, and the inclusion of the person's property in the district.

(c) An infrastructure development district may only be established by resolution passed by a majority vote of the members of the governing body present and voting upon conclusion of the public hearing procedure as set forth in this section.

(d) In the event two (2) or more host municipalities are required to approve the establishment of an infrastructure development district, and the establishment resolutions adopted by the governing bodies of such municipalities vary in any material respect, then the establishment resolutions do not go into effect until one (1) or more of the governing bodies adopts amendatory resolutions sufficient to cause the establishment resolutions to be consistent in all material respects.
