A. The Director of Public Works will determine the special assessment for each benefitting property. Costs shall be determined either by Engineer's estimate or by receiving actual bids, depending on the situation. The actual assessment levy by final ordinance of the Council shall establish maximum assessment amounts to each individual property. If actual construction costs are less, the actual assessment may be less.
B. The actual cost of any project after completion or after receipt of bids is found to vary materially from the Engineer's estimates, the Council may reopen the special assessment.
C. When an assessment is to be reopened, notice similar to the original notice must be given and a public hearing conducted. After the hearing, the Council must pass an ordinance amending, confirming or canceling the prior assessment. The ordinance must be advertised once in official City newspaper and mailed to all interested persons in the same manner as the original final ordinance.
