§ 33.34 ORDINANCE CREATING LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

   After the public hearing and the time for filing remonstrances, if the local improvement district has not been objected to by those persons representing two-thirds of the proposed assessment, the Council may provide for the creation of the local improvement district by ordinance. This subchapter shall describe the improvement(s) to be made and the boundary of the local improvement district. The ordinance shall also provide that the estimated assessments against the properties benefited shall be charges and liens against the property. The city may enforce collection of such assessments as provided by state law.

   (A)   Adoption process. In creating the local improvement ordinance, the Council shall consider the objections or remonstrances made and the reasons stated for them. The Council may adopt, correct, modify or revise the proposed assessment or estimated assessments to be charged against each lot within the district according to the special and peculiar benefits accruing thereto from the improvement and shall by ordinance spread the assessments. The estimated assessment lien shall continue until the time the estimated assessments become a final assessment.

   (B)   Plans. The ordinance shall also direct staff to have detailed plans and specifications of the local improvement prepared and that, when appropriate, the city solicit bids for construction of the local improvement pursuant to §§ 32.015 through 32.025.
