A period of sixty (60) days shall elapse after the public hearing before any further <br />action shall be taken by the Council on the proposed improvement. If, within such sixty <br />(60) day period, a petition against such improvement be filed with the Council, signed by <br />a majority of the owners proposed to be assessed for the improvement or, when the <br />improvement has been petitioned for, signed by a number of the owners proposed to be <br />assessed for such improvement at least equal to the number of those who petition for the <br />improvement, the Council shall not make such improvement at the expense of the <br />property benefited unless, in the meantime, there be filed with the Council a petition <br />asking that the improvement be made, signed by property owners proposed to be assessed <br />for such improvement at least equal in number to those who signed the petition against <br />the improvement; in which event, the Council may disregard the petition against the <br />improvement. <br /> <br /> b.

In <br />this event, the Council shall not proceed with the improvement as proposed. <br /> <br />Subd. 5. Withdrawal from Petition: Any person whose name appears on a petition to the <br />Council for a local improvement or on a petition to the Council against a local <br />improvement may withdraw their name by a statement, in writing, filed with the Council <br />before such petition is presented to the Council. <br /> <br />Subd. 6. Limitations: When a proposed improvement is allowed under the foregoing <br />subdivisions, the Council may proceed at any time between sixty (60) days and one (1) <br />year after the public hearing on the improvement.

Reconsiderations: When a proposed improvement is disallowed under the <br />foregoing subdivisions, the Council shall not vote on the same improvement within a <br />period of one (1) year after the public hearing on said improvement. <br />City of Mounds View
