(A) Before determining to make any improvement, any part of the cost of which is to be defrayed by special assessment, the Commission shall require the Manager to prepare, or cause to be prepared, plans and specifications therefor and an estimate of the cost thereof, and to file the same with the City Clerk, together with his or her recommendation as to the portion of the cost to be paid by the city-at-large, the number of installments in which assessments may be paid and the lands which should be included in the special assessment district.
(B) After such filing, a public hearing shall be held before the City Commission at a time and place to be fixed by resolution of the City Commission. The Clerk shall cause notice of the time and place of such hearing to be published once in the officially designated newspaper of the city not less than ten days prior to the date of said hearing. Notice shall also be given by the Clerk to each owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed whose name appears upon the last city tax assessment records, by mailing by first class mail addressed to such owner or party at the address shown on said records at least ten days before the date of such hearing. Failure of the owner or party to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings or assessments.
