The City Commission, in order to ascertain whether or not a reasonable number of property owners to be assessed desires any particular improvement to be made, may request and receive a petition therefor, or may receive such a petition voluntarily presented. However, in either event, such petition shall be advisory only and shall not be jurisdictional, except in cases where such a petition is specifically made jurisdictional by State statutes. Such petition shall be submitted on forms approved by the City Manager and shall be furnished by the City. The City is not required to construct any improvement petitioned for and may proceed to construct an improvement without a petition having been filed.
