§ 16-1. Public hearings required before specific capital projects may be authorized or commenced.

Whenever the issuance of bonds secured by the County's ad valorem taxing power has been authorized by the voters of the County in a referendum election, and the bonds are authorized for a generally stated purpose or objective or for a number of projects that will accomplish such purpose rather than for a specifically designated capital project, then before any specific capital project may be authorized or commenced the Board of County Commissioners shall hold one (1) or more public hearings in one (1) or several geographical areas of the County in order to provide the residents of the County with an opportunity to appear, and to criticize or comment upon the specific capital project proposed.
