If any lot or parcel of land belonging to the United States, or to the State, or to any county, City, public agent, mandatory of the government, school board, educational, penal or reform institution or institution for the feeble-minded or the insane, is in use in the performance of any public function, and is included within the District to be assessed to pay the costs and expenses thereof, the Council may, in the Ordinance of Intention, declare that such lots or parcels of land, or any of them, shall be omitted from the assessment thereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the work. If any such lots or parcels of land are omitted from the assessment, the total expense of all work done shall be assessed on the remaining lots or parcels of land lying within the limits of the Assessment District, without regard to such omitted lots or parcels of land.
If the Council, in the Ordinance of Intention, declares that any such lots or parcels of land owned and used as provided in this section shall be included in the assessment or if no declaration is made respecting any such lots or parcels of land, then the City shall be liable for such sums as may thereafter be assessed against such lots or parcels of land. The assessment shall be payable by the City out of the General Fund unless the Council shall in its Ordinance of Intention designate another fund. Any sums which may be assessed against any such lots or parcels of land shall not be payable by the City when such sums are paid by the owner of or the governing body controlling such lots or parcels of land.
