At a hearing on proposed assessments, at any adjournment of the hearing, or after consideration of the hearing examiner’s report, the board shall hear and rule on all objections to each proposed assessment.

(b)

The board by majority vote may amend proposed assessments for any facility.

(c)

After all objections have been heard and action has been taken with regard to those objections, the board by resolution shall impose the assessments on the facilities and shall specify the method of payment of the assessments.

Periodic installments must be in amounts sufficient to meet annual costs for security projects or security services provided by this chapter and continue for the number of years required to pay for the security projects and security services to be rendered.

(e)

If assessments are imposed for more than one security project or security service, the board may provide that assessments collected for one security project or security service may be used for another security project or security service.

(f)

The board shall establish a procedure for the use or refund of any assessments in excess of those necessary to finance a security project or security service for which those assessments were collected.
