In the event that the proceedings include any acquisition and the actual cost of the acquisition as finally determined in less than the amount included in the assessment as the cost of such acquisition, such excess may be spent as the Council may thereafter determine, either for the maintenance or repair of the work or improvement, or such excess shall be refunded or credited in proportion to the amount of the assessments that were levied for such acquisition cost, as follows:
(a) Where the assessment and all installments thereof and all interest and penalties due thereon have been paid, such refund shall be returned in cash to the person who paid the corresponding assessment or installment, upon the person furnishing satisfactory evidence of such payment.
(b) Where the assessment or any installment thereof is unpaid, the credit shall be applied upon such assessment or upon the earliest unpaid installment of principal and interest.
In the event the Council determines that such excess shall be used for maintenance or repair, the Council shall establish a separate fund of such excess and shall use the same solely for said purpose.
