   2.  Not less than ninety days prior to signing a whole grade sharing agreement whereby all or a substantial portion of the pupils in a grade in the district will attend school in another district, the board of directors of each school district that is negotiating, extending, or renewing a sharing agreement, shall publicly announce its intent to negotiate a sharing agreement under section 21.4, subsection 1.

   4.  a.  Within the thirty-day period prior to the signing of the agreement, the parent or guardian of an affected pupil may request the board of directors to send the pupil to another contiguous school district. For the purposes of this section, “affected pupils” are those who under the whole grade sharing agreement are attending or scheduled to attend the school district specified in the agreement, other than the district of residence, during the term of the agreement. The request shall be based upon one of the following:

   c.  If the board disallows the request of a parent or guardian of an affected pupil, the parent or guardian, not later than March 1, may appeal the sending of that pupil to the school district specified in the agreement, to the state board of education. The basis for the appeal shall be the same as the basis for the request to the board. An appeal shall specify a contiguous school district to which the parent or guardian wishes to send the affected pupil.
   d.  If the parent or guardian appeals, the standard of review of the appeal is a preponderance of evidence that the parent’s or guardian’s hardship outweighs the benefits and integrity of the sharing agreement. The state board may require the district of residence to pay tuition to the contiguous school district specified by the parent or guardian, or may deny the appeal by the parent or guardian. If the state board requires the district of residence to pay tuition to the contiguous school district specified by the parent or guardian, the tuition shall be equal to the tuition established in the sharing agreement. The decision of the state board is binding on the boards of directors of the school districts affected, except that the decision of the state board may be appealed by either party to the district court.

    Sec. 129.  Section 384.54, subsection 15, Code 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   15.  a.  The cost of all court proceedings are a legitimate item of expense in connection with a public improvement, and may be included within the final assessment against any property specially benefited in the assessment district.
   b.  Whenever on a hearing by the court, the amount of any assessment is reduced or canceled so that there is a deficiency in the total amount remaining assessed in the proceeding, the court may assess the deficiency to the city or distribute the deficiency upon the other property abutting upon or adjacent to the improvement or in the district assessed, in a manner the court finds to be just and equitable, not exceeding, however, the amount the property would be specially benefited by the improvement, and not exceeding twenty-five percent of the value of the lot as shown by the plat and schedule of assessments or as reduced by the court.
    Sec. 130.  Section 400.28, Code 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   400.28  Employees —— number diminished.
   1.  When the public interest requires a diminution of employees in a classification or grade under civil service, the city council, acting in good faith, may do either of the following:

   3.  In case of removal or suspension, the civil service commission shall issue to each person affected one certificate showing the person’s comparative seniority or length of service in each of the classifications or grades from which the person is so removed and the fact that the person has been honorably removed. The certificate shall also list each classification or grade in which the person was previously employed. The person’s name shall be carried for a period of not less than three years after the suspension or removal on a preferred list and appointments or promotions made during that period to the person’s former duties in the classification or grade shall be made in the order of greater seniority from the preferred lists.

   19.  a.  A municipality, upon entering into a development or redevelopment agreement pursuant to section 403.8, subsection 1, or as otherwise permitted in this chapter, may enter into a written assessment agreement with the developer of taxable property in the urban renewal area which establishes a minimum actual value of the land and completed improvements to be made on the land until a specified termination date which shall not be later than the date after which the tax increment will no longer be remitted to the municipality pursuant to section 403.19, subsection 2. The assessment agreement shall be presented to the appropriate assessor. The assessor shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be made and if the minimum actual value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be reasonable, the assessor shall execute the following certification upon the agreement:

   The undersigned assessor, being legally responsible for the assessment of the above described property upon completion of the improvements to be made on it, certifies that the actual value assigned to that land and improvements upon completion shall not be less than $.........

   b.  This assessment agreement with the certification of the assessor and a copy of this subsection shall be filed in the office of the county recorder of the county where the property is located. Upon completion of the improvements, the assessor shall value the property as required by law, except that the actual value shall not be less than the minimum actual value contained in the assessment agreement. This subsection does not prohibit the assessor from assigning a higher actual value to the property or prohibit the owner from seeking administrative or legal remedies to reduce the actual value assigned except that the actual value shall not be reduced below the minimum actual value contained in the assessment agreement. An assessor, county auditor, board of review, director of revenue, or court of this state shall not reduce or order the reduction of the actual value below the minimum actual value in the agreement during the term of the agreement regardless of the actual value which may result from the incomplete construction of improvements, destruction or diminution by any cause, insured or uninsured, except in the case of acquisition or reacquisition of the property by a public entity. Recording of an assessment agreement complying with this subsection constitutes notice of the assessment agreement to a subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer of the land or any part of it, whether voluntary or involuntary, and is binding upon a subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer.

If any member shall have served twenty-two years in said department, but shall not have reached the age of fifty years, the member shall be entitled to retirement, but no pension shall be paid while the member lives until the member reaches the age of fifty years.
   2.  Upon the adoption of any increase in pension benefits effective subsequent to the date of a member’s retirement, the amount payable to each member as regular pension shall be increased by an amount equal to sixty percent of any increase in the pension benefits for the rank at which the member retired.

   1.  a.  On each July 1 and January 1, the monthly pension authorized in this chapter payable to each retired member and to each beneficiary, except children, of a deceased member shall be recomputed. The applicable formulas authorized in this chapter which were used to compute the retired member’s or beneficiary’s pension at the time of retirement or death shall be used in the recomputation except the earnable compensation payable on each July 1 or January 1 to an active member having the same or equivalent rank or position as was held by such retired or deceased member at the time of retirement or death, shall be used in lieu of the final compensation which the retired or deceased member was receiving at the time of retirement or death. At no time shall the monthly pension or payment to the beneficiary be less than the amount which was paid at the time of such member’s retirement or death.
   2.  b.  All monthly pensions adjusted as provided in this section shall be payable beginning on July 1 or January 1 of the year which the adjustment is made and shall continue in effect until the next adjustment at which time the monthly pension shall again be recomputed and all monthly pensions adjusted in accordance with the computations.
   3.  c.  The adjustment of pensions required by this section shall recognize the retired or deceased member’s position on the salary scale within the member’s rank at the time of retirement or death. In the event that the rank or position held by the retired or deceased member at the time of retirement or death is subsequently abolished, adjustments in the pensions of the member or of the member’s spouse or children shall be computed by the board of trustees as though such rank or position had not been abolished and salary increases had been granted to such rank or position on the same basis as that granted to other ranks and positions in the department.
   4.  At no time shall the monthly pension or payment to the member be less than one hundred fifty dollars.
    Sec. 135.  Section 410.10, Code 2009, is amended to read as follows:

   2.  Effective July 1, 1991, the remarriage of a surviving spouse does not make the spouse ineligible to receive benefits under this section, and for a surviving spouse who remarried prior to July 1, 1991, the remarriage does not make the spouse ineligible to receive benefits under this section.
   3.  However, the benefits provided by this section are subject to the following definitions:  The term “spouse”

   c.  Surviving spouse “Surviving spouse” includes a former spouse only if the division of assets in the dissolution of marriage decree pursuant to section 598.17 grants the former spouse rights of a spouse under this chapter. If there is no surviving spouse of a marriage contracted prior to retirement of a deceased member, or of a marriage of a retired member contracted prior to March 2, 1934, surviving spouse “surviving spouse” includes a surviving spouse of a marriage of two years or more duration contracted subsequent to retirement of the member. The terms “child” and “children” mean only the surviving issue of a deceased active or retired member, or the child or children legally adopted by a deceased member prior to the member’s retirement from active service.

If the actuary of the statewide system determines that the assets transferred by a terminated system are insufficient to fully fund the accrued liabilities of the terminated system as determined by the actuary as of January 1, 1992, the participating city shall pay to the statewide system an amount equal to the unfunded liability plus interest for the period beginning January 1, 1992, and ending with the date of payment or the date of entry into an amortization agreement pursuant to this section.

The participating city may enter into an agreement with the statewide system to make additional annual contributions sufficient to amortize the unfunded accrued liability of the terminated system. The terms of an amortization agreement shall be based upon the recommendation of the actuary of the statewide system, and the agreement shall do each of the following:
   (1)  (a)  Allow the city to make additional annual contributions over a period not to exceed thirty years from January 1, 1992.
