Latest version.
  • Before the council shall consider the making of any public improvement, the same shall be referred by resolution to the city manager directing him or her to prepare a report which shall include necessary plans and detailed estimates of cost, an estimate of the life of the improvement, a description of the assessment district or districts and such other pertinent information as will permit the council to decide the cost, extent, and necessity of the public improvement proposed and what part or proportion thereof should be paid by special assessments upon the property especially benefited and what part, if any, should be paid by the city at large. The council shall not finally determine to proceed with the making of any public improvement until such report of the city manager has been filed, nor until after a public hearing has been held by the council for the purpose of hearing objections to the making of such public improvement.
