At the time of the public hearing on the proposed improvement, if the written remonstrances represent less than the amount of property required to defeat the proposed improvement, then, on the basis of the hearing of written remonstrances and oral objections, if any, the Council may, by motion, at the time of the hearing or within 60 days thereafter, order the Engineer to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for construction of the improvement and require that the improvement be carried out in accordance with the resolution; or the Council may, if the project was initiated by the Council’s motion and not the petition of property owners, abandon the improvement on its own motion; provided, however, that, an improvement unanimously declared by the Council to be needed at once because of an emergency may be ordered by the Council, by resolution, to be constructed over and notwithstanding the written remonstrances which would otherwise defeat the project under the provisions of this subchapter.
