Proceedings for the making of local public improvements within the city may be commenced by resolution of the Council. Such action may also be requested by the filing with the City Clerk of a petition signed by the owners of more than 50% of the property to be assessed for the improvement requesting that the improvement be made and the cost thereof be defrayed by special assessment upon the property benefitted, but such petition shall be advisory to the City Council only.
