Show Section 3. To enable the flood control commissioner to perform the work required under this act and in addition to monies otherwise appropriated to the State Engineer by law, there is hereby appropriated to the Board of Examiners out of monies in the general fund not otherwise appropriated such sums as in its opinion are necessary to avert and alleviate the emergency, and to repair or restore property damaged or taken by the commissioner in carrying out his duties under this act; and such sums so appropriated shall be made available to the flood control commissioner upon approval of his written request therefor. In the event any property so damaged or taken is not repaired or restored, the owner thereof may present his claim to the flood control commissioner who shall thereupon review and transmit the same with his written recommendations to the Board of Examiners, and said claim shall be considered and acted upon in the same manner as other claims against the state as provided in Section 6, Title 63, Utah Code Annotated 1953. The foregoing remedies as set forth in this section shall be deemed exclusive for any damage suffered or for any property taken during the existence of any emergency proclaimed under this act. Section 4. Upon the receipt of a written report of the flood control commissioner indicating that all or any part of any emergency declared under this chapter has ceased to exist, if the governor is of the opinion that the emergency is at an end, he shall by public proclamation officially terminate such emergency and declare the same to be over, and custody and control of any reservoirs, canals, or other works taken hereunder shall immediately be relinquished to the owners and operators thereof, but the termination of such emergency shall not relieve the flood control commissioner of his obligation to repair and restore property damaged or taken by the commissioner under Section 3 hereof. - 31- |
