§ 5555.22.
The boards of county commissioners shall meet as a joint board at the time and place
designated by the board of the county where the original petition is filed pursuant
to section 5555.21 of the Revised Code . The time so designated for the joint meeting shall be within thirty days from the
date of the filing of the petition. Such joint board shall determine whether the petition has been signed by the requisite
number of landowners who are to be specially assessed for such improvement, and it
shall thereupon go upon the line of the road and shall jointly act in the same manner
as though the proceedings were had before a single board. A majority of such joint board may order the construction of such road, but such
majority shall be composed of at least one commissioner from each county in which
the improvement is located. No person signing a petition shall be permitted to withdraw therefrom unless the joint
board finds there was fraud or misrepresentation in obtaining his signature.
