If the Council determines that the local improvement shall be made, when the estimated cost is ascertained on the basis of the City Engineer’s estimate, or the contract award, or city departmental cost, or after the work is done and the cost thereof has been actually determined, the Council shall determine whether the property benefited shall bear all or a portion of the cost. “Cost” shall include the direct administrative overhead costs incurred by the city pertaining to the improvement project. The Recorder or person designated by the Council shall prepare the proposed assessment to the respective lots within the assessment district and file it in the appropriate city office. Notice of the proposed assessment shall be mailed or personally delivered to the owner of each lot proposed to be assessed. The notice shall state the amounts of assessments proposed on that property and shall fix a date by which time objections shall be filed with the Recorder. Any objection shall state the grounds thereof.
