§ 50-8. Hearing on necessity.

(a)

At the time of the public hearing pursuant to section 50-6, or any adjournment thereof, which may be without further notice, the city council shall hear any objections to the proposed public improvement and to the special assessment district, and may, without further notice, revise, correct, amend or change the plans, estimates and/or district; provided that if the amount of work is increased or additions are made to the district, then another hearing shall be held pursuant to notice as provided in section 50-7.

(b)

If the determination of the city council is to proceed with the improvement, a resolution shall be passed approving the concept and cost estimates of the proposed project, the proposed assessment district, the recommendations as to the portion of the cost to be borne by the special assessment district and the portion, if any, to be borne by the city at large, and directing the city assessor to prepare a special assessment roll and submit the same to the city council. If prior to the adoption of the resolution to proceed with the making of the public improvement, written objections thereto have been filed by the owners of the property in the district which will be required to bear more than 50 percent of the cost thereof, or by a majority of the owners of property to be assessed, a resolution determining to proceed with the improvement shall be adopted only by the affirmative vote of at least five of the seven members of the city council.
