At the time and place fixed in the resolution of intention, the council shall hear any owner liable for the payment of fees who may appear and present testimony material to the matters set forth in the resolution of intention. Also, the council shall hear and pass upon all written protests filed by the owners of land within the proposed improvement district. Written protests must be filed with the city clerk prior to the time of the hearing and must contain a description of the property in which each signer thereof is interested. Each description must be in sufficient detail to clearly identify the same. If the signers of the protests are not shown on the last equalized assessment roll as the owners of such property, the protest must contain or be accompanied by written evidence that such signers are the owners of such property. The hearing may be continued from time to time by the council. (Ord. 2017-0009 § 15)
