All diagrams and assessment maps shall indicate clearly, by a boundary line, shading, tinting, inscription or other means, the extent of the territory included in the Assessment District or districts. The diagrams and maps shall also show the boundaries and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land approved for such inclusion in the districts and each lot or parcel shall be distinctly numbered, lettered or otherwise identified thereon. For succeeding or corrected assessments or reassessments, the parcel numbering, lettering or other identification may be changed or combinations or divisions of parcels may be shown on such assessment maps, or new pages therefor may be prepared for any portions thereof, all in the manner approved by the Board of Public Works and as long as an inspection of such maps will readily disclose precisely what land is covered by any particular parcel identification for the current or any prior maintenance assessment period.
After any lands have been approved by the Council for inclusion in Assessment Districts pursuant to this chapter, they shall be shown upon assessment maps on file in the Bureau of Engineering, together with suitable notation of the Council’s approval; and thereafter such lands may be described in the report and proposed to be included in Assessment Districts by appropriate map reference in preliminary reports, and may be assessed pursuant to this chapter for such maintenance or for renewal or maintenance of any lighting system, systems or appliances as the Council determines will result in benefit thereto, and they need not, for those purposes, be further indicated on diagrams to be transmitted to the Council.
All lands included in any Assessment District which have been previously approved by the Council for maintenance, under this chapter, of lighting systems or appliances in existence and service on the date of passage of the ordinance incorporating this provision to-wit, January 4, 1961, are hereby approved by the Council for subsequent assessment purposes as contemplated herein; and the City Engineer shall certify on assessment maps showing such lands as assessable, the date and fact of the last preceding approval by the Council of the respective Assessment Districts. The certificates of the said City Engineer shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the matters certified.
Copies of all Assessment District diagrams, not previously recorded, and of assessment maps, or revised pages thereof, that have been approved by the Council, and copies of pages of assessment maps on which are shown change of numbers or identifications of parcels of land, or combinations or divisions of parcels, shall be recorded by the Board of Public Works in suitable records to be kept in the Bureau of Engineering for that purpose. Such diagrams and maps shall, during all office hours, be open to the inspection of any person wishing to examine them, free of charge.
