§ 5555.25.
When a joint board of county commissioners is proceeding upon a petition for a road
improvement, the compensation, damages, and expenses of the improvement shall be apportioned
and paid in the method specified in the petition, which may be any one of the methods
provided by section 5555.41 of the Revised Code . When a joint board acts by unanimous vote and without the filing of a petition,
it shall set forth in its resolution declaring the necessity for the improvement the
method of apportioning and paying the compensation, damages, and expenses of the improvement,
which may be any one of the methods provided by such section. The joint board shall also determine the proportion of the compensation, damages,
and expenses of such improvement to be paid by each of the several counties interested
in the improvement. The board of each interested county shall, with the assistance of the county engineer
of that county, make the assessments against the real estate within said county to
be charged therewith of the proportion of the compensation, damages, and expenses
of said improvement to be raised by special assessment against the benefited real
estate within such county. In making such assessments, like notice shall be given and the same proceedings
had by each interested board as in the case of improvements wholly within one county. If the joint board cannot agree on the apportionment of the compensation, damages,
and expenses of the improvement among the several counties interested in such improvement,
the joint board shall certify that fact to the director of transportation who shall
thereupon make such apportionment.
