Whenever the City Council shall deem it necessary to make any improvements allowed by statute, the City Council shall by ordinance create a paving, graveling, or other improvement district or districts, and after the passage, approval, and publication or posting of the ordinance, shall publish notice of the creation of any such district or districts for six days in a legal newspaper of the city, if a daily newspaper, or for two consecutive weeks, if the same be a weekly newspaper. If the owners of the record title representing more than 50% of the front footage of the property directly abutting on the street, streets, alley, or alleys to be improved, shall file with the City Clerk/Treasurer within 20 days after the first publication of the notice, written objections to the creation of the district or districts, the improvements shall not be made as provided in the ordinance; but the ordinance shall be repealed. If the objections are not filed against the district in the time and manner aforesaid, the City Council shall forthwith cause the work to be done or the improvement to be made, and shall contract therefor, and shall levy assessments on the lots and parcels of land abutting on or adjacent to the street, streets, alley, or alleys especially benefitted thereby in the district in proportion to the benefits, to pay the cost of the improvement.
