Sec. 2-240. Drainage costs in a Subdivision

The Council may require any owner or developer of a subdivision or tract of land upon which dwellings, apartments, stores, or other buildings are to be erected to contribute what it deems to be a fair share of the cost of a drainage project before it approves or constructs such project. Such contributions shall be paid in cash before the construction begins or secured to the satisfaction of the Council. The Council may construct any part of an approved drainage project, provided the person or company interested contributed not less than one-half (1/2) of the cost.
