§ 81314 Protest Of Land Conveyance

Key Takeaways

  • •If 10% of voters in the area sign a petition against a plan to give away or dedicate public land, they can stop it.
  • •The petition must be given to the local board at a scheduled meeting.
  • •If there's a protest, a higher board (board of governors) gets to make the final decision.
  • •If the higher board says no, the plan is dropped and can't be tried again.

Example

A small town wants to give a public park to a company to build a shopping mall. Some people don't like this idea.

If at least 10% of the town's voters sign a petition against this plan and give it to the town board at their next meeting, the town can't decide alone. A higher board will review the plan and make the final call. If they say no, the park stays as it is.
