At the hearing provided in Section 3.12.040, the Council shall hear oral objections to the proposed improvement and consider all pertinent points of inquiry concerning the proposed improvement. The Council shall also consider any written remonstrance filed with the City Recorder to said improvement. As provided by the City Charter of 1953, Section 42, remonstrance by the owners of two-thirds of the property to be specially assessed for the proposed improvement, owner to be as defined in this chapter, shall suspend action regarding the improvement for six months.

If the Common Council, after hearing objections and considering any remonstrance, finds that there is not sufficient remonstrance or the conditions as so provided by the City Charter and above set forth exist, then it may proceed with the improvement. (Ord. 2-1961 § 5, 1961.)
