(A) Whenever the Governing Body deems it necessary to make any improvements allowed by statute which are to be funded by a levy of special assessment on the property especially benefited, the Governing Body shall by ordinance create a paving, graveling, or other improvement district and, after the passage, approval, and publication or posting of the ordinance, shall publish notice of the creation of any such district for six days in a legal newspaper of the municipality, if a daily newspaper, or for two consecutive weeks if it is a weekly newspaper.
(B) If no legal newspaper is published in the municipality, the publication shall be in a legal newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. If the owners of the record title representing more than 50% of the front footage of the property directly abutting on the street or alley to be improved file with the City Clerk within 20 days after the first publication of the notice written objections to the creation of the district, the improvement shall not be made as provided in the ordinance, but the ordinance shall be repealed.
(C) If objections are not filed against the district in the time and manner prescribed in this section, the Governing Body shall immediately cause the work to be done or the improvement to be made, shall contract for the work or improvement, and shall levy assessments on the lots and parcels of land abutting on or adjacent to the street or alley especially benefited in the district in proportion to such benefits to pay the cost of the improvement.
