Before the adoption of any ordinance or resolution referred to in Section 3.80.110, a resolution of preliminary determination may be passed and adopted describing the improvement and the boundary lines of the district proposed to be assessed and paid therefor, and setting a time and place when any person owning or having an interest in real property within the proposed assessment district may file written objections and may appear and show cause, if any, why the council should not find and determine that the public convenience and necessity require the improvement without compliance with the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931.
The district proposed to be assessed, mentioned above, may be described by:
A. Stating its exterior boundaries; or
B. Giving a description thereof according to any official or recorded map; or
C. Referring to a plat or map on file in the office of the clerk or engineer at the time of passing the resolution of preliminary determination which shall indicate by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in the proposed district.
(Ord. 1586 §11 (part), Ord. 2268)
Notice of such hearing shall be given by publishing, posting, and mailing a notice setting forth the time and place of the hearing on the question of the public convenience and necessity of the proposed improvement in the time and manner provided for the publishing, posting, and mailing of the resolution of intention or resolution providing for hearing of protests relating to the improvement.
