3.12.040 Public hearing on Council-approved report.
After the Council has given preliminary approval, as provided in Section 3.12.030, to the engineer's report as submitted or amended the Council shall:
A. Direct the City Recorder to prepare a notice stating that such report is on file in his office and subject to examination by interested parties, giving the date when the same was filed and containing the following information:
1. That the report is on file for examination as above provided;
2. The date such report was filed;
3. The estimated probable cost of such proposed improvement;
4. A brief statement of the area proposed to be assessed therefor;
5. The date of public hearing by the Council when any objections thereto shall be considered;
6. That written remonstrance may be filed against the proposed improvement at the office of the City Recorder not later than the scheduled time for the Council hearing of objections to the proposed improvement;
7. The method of assessment proposed to be used to arrive at a fair apportionment of the total cost of the improvement against the property specially benefited;
8. The city engineer's estimated unit cost of the improvement to the specially benefited property, clearly indicating that this is an estimate and not an assessment.
B. The Council shall specify in the resolution approving the city engineer's report, if such be the case, whether the notice as above provided shall be made by publication, posting or mail, or by a combination of such methods. If the Council shall declare notice be published, the City Recorder shall prepare notice of publication containing the information set forth above, together with the names of the record owners of the property and a description thereof, either by street number or other legal description and cause the said notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, either daily or weekly, within the city; said publication if so ordered shall take place at least twice prior to the hearing provided for therein. If the Council shall determine to give notice by posting, the City Recorder shall prepare a notice containing the same information as provided by published notice, one copy thereof to be posted in the City Hall, and at least four copies thereof shall be posted within the confines of the area where the proposed improvement is to be carried out.
C. In addition to the publication or posting as above set forth, if the City Council shall decide to give notice to the property owners affected, the City Recorder shall cause to be mailed to the last known address of each record owner and, when readily known, to each owner as defined herein, of property to be specially benefited by the proposed improvement, a copy of said notice; if notice be mailed as set forth herein publication or posting need not take place.
D. Said notices, whether by publication, posting or mail, shall provide for the hearing before the Common Council, which may not be less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the mailing or posting, whichever is later, of the said notices. (Ord. 2-1961 § 4, 1961.)
