(B) Notice shall specify the whole cost of the improvement; the share so apportioned to each lot, parts of lots or parcels of land; the date the final assessment decision will come before the City Council for a public hearing; and the date, not less than 20 days from the date of mailing of the notice, within which written objections to any proposed apportionment and assessment may be made to the City Council and filed with the City Recorder.
