12.15.030 Declaration of intention – Notice of hearing.
A. If the council approves the staff report as submitted or as amended, the council shall, by resolution, declare its intention to construct the project and to cause all or a specified portion of the costs thereof to be assessed to the properties to be specially benefited and by said resolution shall designate the improvement, describe the boundaries of the area within which property shall be deemed to be benefited, and shall set a time and place for hearing on the proposed improvement.
B. The recorder shall cause notice of the proposed improvement and of the public hearing to be given by one publication not less than 10 days prior to the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation within the city, and by mailing copies of the notice by registered or certified mail to the owner of a lot affected by the proposed improvement, and by posting copies of the notice conspicuously within the limits of the proposed local improvement district.
C. The notice shall contain the following:
1. A general description of the proposed local improvement and the property to be specifically benefited. The description of the property need not be by metes and bounds, but shall be such that an average person can determine from it the general location of the property.
2. An estimate of the total cost of the improvement and the portion anticipated to be paid for by special assessment.
3. The time and place of the public hearing.
4. A statement of a place where preliminary project design and other additional information concerning the improvement is available to the public.
5. That objections and remonstrances to the improvements will be heard by the city council and that if, prior to the hearing, there is presented to the city recorder a valid written remonstrance by the owners of the property to which at least two-thirds of the proposed amount of assessment shall be assessed for such improvement, the improvement will be abandoned for at least six months.
6. Any other information the council may direct to be included.
D. Any mistake, error, omission, or failure with respect to the mailing of notice shall not be jurisdictional or invalidate the local improvement proceedings. [Ord. 897 § 3, 2015.]
