Before the Council shall consider the making of any local public improvement, the same shall be referred to the Village Clerk or Village Engineer as may be appropriate, directing that person to cause to be prepared a report which shall include necessary plans, profiles, specifications and detailed estimates of cost, an estimate of the life of the improvements, a description of the assessment district or districts, and the other pertinent information will permit the Council to decide the cost, extent and necessity of the improvement proposed and what part or proportion thereof should be paid by special assessments upon the property especially benefitted and what part, if any, should be paid by the village at-large. The Council shall not finally determine to proceed with the making of any local public improvement until the report of the Clerk or Engineer has been filed, nor until after a public hearing has been held by the Council for the purpose of hearing objections to the making of the improvement.
