If an assessment is made before the total cost of the improvement is ascertained, and if it is found that the amount of the assessment is insufficient to defray the expenses of the improvement, the Council may by motion declare such deficit and prepare a proposed deficit assessment. The Council shall set a time for a hearing of objections to such deficit assessment and shall direct the Administrator to give notice according to the provisions in § 151.100. After the hearing, the Council shall make a just and equitable deficit assessment by ordinance, which be entered in the docket of city liens as provided by § 151.106. Notices of the deficit assessment shall be published and mailed, and the collection of the assessment shall be made in accordance with §§ 151.105 and 151.106.
