22-99 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins is amended to read as

Sec. 22-99. Reallocation of assessments.
(a) In the event that any parcel of land subject to
assessment under this article is subdivided, as defined in
§29-621 of the Code, the owner(s) of all parcels constituting the
original tract shall immediately propose in writing to the
Financial Officer a reallocation of the assessment as to all such
smaller parcels. Such proposal shall include the following
information as to each parcel within the original tract:
(1) Name and address of the property owner;
(2) Parcel and tax schedule number;
(3) Legal description; and
(4) Amount of proposed assessment.
(b) The Financial Officer, upon review of such application
according to established administrative guidelines, may accept or
reject the proposed reallocation.
(c) If the proposed reallocation is rejected by the Financial
Officer or if no proposed reallocation is submitted to the city
within thirty (30) days after any such subdivision, the city,
pursuant to the same notice and hearing process as described in
§22-88 above, may order the reallocation of the remaining
assessment among such smaller parcels according to any of the
various methods of allocation described in §§22-76 through 22-81
above; provided, however, that the hearing provided for herein
shall be held before the Financial Officer, who shall have final
authority to determine such reallocations, subject to the right
of the property owner(s) of the original tract to appeal the
decision of the Financial Officer to the Council under the
procedures contained in Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3 of the
Code.
(d) Absent any reallocation of assessment under this section,
the remaining unpaid assessment shall continue as a lien on the
entire original tract against which the assessment was initially
imposed.
(e) If a reallocation of assessment occurs as provided
herein, the Financial Officer shall prepare and certify to the
municipal or county Treasurer an amended assessment roll for all
affected parcels which are subject to the reallocated assessment
setting forth the reallocation. The assessments as shown by the
amended assessment roll shall constitute liens against each such
separate parcel as of the date of certification.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no subdivision or
reallocation shall result in an assessment being made against
publicly owned lands or rights-of-way or against open areas,
green belts or similar lands when such lands are vested in fee
ownership separate from that of the adjacent improvements
benefited.
