At any time prior to the day set for hearing protests in relation to the proposed improvement, as hereinbefore provided, any person interested and affected by the proposed assessment may file a written protest stating the person’s objections thereto, with the City Clerk. Such protests must contain a description of the property in which each signer thereof is interested, sufficient to identify the same, and be delivered to the City Clerk, and no other protests than those presented in the form and within the time specified shall be considered. The City Clerk shall endorse on every such protest the date of its reception by the City Clerk, and shall, at the time appointed for said hearing, present the same to the City Council. The City Council shall hear and consider said protests at the time appointed therefor, as above provided, or at any time to which the hearings thereof may be continued, and pass upon the same, and may confirm, correct or modify said assessment as may be necessary in its judgment to the end that the costs thereof may be properly and justly charged against the property benefited in accordance with said benefit and its decision shall be final and conclusive. If such protests are sustained, the proceedings shall be abandoned but may be renewed any time. If such protests are denied, or in case no protests have been filed, the proposed assessment shall be confirmed and the City Council shall be deemed to have acquired jurisdiction to further proceed in accordance with the provisions of this article. Thereafter the City Council shall, by ordinance, order the proposed improvement to be made and declare its confirmation of the said assessment, which ordinance shall be final and conclusive on all persons in all particulars and the assessment shall thereafter be levied upon the lots, pieces or parcels of land within the Assessment District, as provided in Section 6.231.
