801.5 Public Review of the Budget

PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE BUDGET
 
The Board of Directors shall establish and publish the time and place for public review of the budget document.  This public hearing shall be held no later than April 15 of each year, and a notice of the hearing shall be published at least 10 days in advance.
 
The verified proof of the publication of such notice, together with the certified budget, shall be filed in the office of the county auditor and preserved by that office.  No levy shall be valid unless and until such notice is published and filed.
 
*Note:     Although Iowa Code Sections 24.27 through 24.29 permit citizen groups of the district to file a formal protest against a budget adopted by the Board, at least three of the persons filing such a complaint must have filed a joint written objection at or before the budget hearing of the Board for the protest to be valid, and for the county auditor to pursue the protest.
