Upon receipt of a ballot cast by the owner of property within the boundaries of a proposed assessment district, the city clerk shall determine the weight of such ballot based on a proportion equal to the ratio between the amount of the proposed annual assessment to be borne by the owner of the property casting such ballot and the total amount of the proposed annual assessments to be borne by all owners of property within the boundaries of the proposed assessment district. At the conclusion of the protest hearing, the city clerk shall tabulate the ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, in favor of the proposed assessment district and against the proposed assessment district, after weighting such ballots in the manner hereinbefore provided by this section, and shall certify the results of such tabulation in writing to the city council at such time as the protest hearing is concluded.
