§ 13.4. Preliminary survey.

Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and copy of resolution or petition, the City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Council at or before the first regular meeting of the Council after the expiration of such thirty (30) days preliminary plans, profiles, specifications, estimates, estimated life of the proposed improvement, and such other pertinent information as will permit the Council to determine the cost, extent, and necessity of the improvement proposed to be made and what part or proportion thereof should be paid by special assessment upon the property benefited and what part, if any, should be paid by the city at large. No final determination of such necessity shall be made by the Council until such report of the City Manager has been received by it, nor, except in case the petition for a public improvement is signed by all owners of record of property in the proposed special assessment district, until after a public hearing has been held by the Council for the purpose of hearing objections to the making of such proposed public improvement.
