244A.499 Procedure for acquisition of facilities.
1. The county, the State, or both, acting through the board, may construct, otherwise acquire, improve, equip, relocate, repair, maintain and operate the facilities or any part thereof for the benefit of the State, the county and their inhabitants, after the board has made such preliminary studies and otherwise taken such action as it determines to be necessary or desirable as preliminaries thereto.
2. When a comprehensive program satisfactory to the board for the acquisition of facilities for the county, the State, or both, is available, such program shall be tentatively adopted. The program need only describe the proposed facilities in general terms and not in detail.
3. A public hearing on the proposed program shall be scheduled, and notice of the hearing shall be given by publication. After the hearing and any adjournments thereof which may be ordered, the board may require changes to be made in the program as the board considers desirable, or the board may approve the program as prepared.
4. If any substantial changes to the comprehensive program are ordered at any time, in the original acquisition of the facilities or in any improvement thereto, or otherwise, a further hearing shall be held pursuant to notice which shall be given by publication.
5. Such a comprehensive program may consist of one project or of more than one project. A public hearing need not be held on each such project if it implements such a comprehensive program on which a public hearing has been held.
