(A) The Council, in adopting a method of assessment of the costs of any local improvement, may:
(1) Use any just and reasonable method of determining the extent of the local improvement district consistent with the benefits derived;
(2) Use any method of apportioning the sum to be assessed as is just and reasonable between the properties determined to be specially benefited; and/or
(3) Authorize payment by the city of all or any part of the costs of a local improvement when, in the opinion of the Council, the topographical or physical conditions or unusual or excess public travel or use, or other character of the work involved warrants only a partial payment or no payment by the benefited property of the costs of the local improvement.
(B) Nothing contained in this subchapter shall preclude the Council from using any other available means of financing local improvements, including federal or state grants-in-aid, water or sewer fees or charges, revenue or general obligation bonds or any other legal means of financing. If such other means of financing local improvements are used, the Council may, in its discretion, levy special assessments according to the benefits derived to cover any remaining part of the costs of the local improvement.
