At any time not later than the hour set for the hearing of objections, any person interested may make written protest stating objections against the granting of the franchise. The protest shall be signed by the protestant and be delivered to the clerk of the legislative body. At the time set for hearing objections the legislative body shall proceed to hear and pass upon all protests so made and its decision shall be final and conclusive, subject to the right of referendum of the people. The legislative body may adjourn the hearing from time to time.
If no protest in writing is delivered to the clerk up to the hour set for hearing, or
such protests as are filed have been heard and determined by the legislative body to be insufficient, or have been overruled or denied, the legislative body may grant the franchise. The franchise shall be granted by ordinance adopted in the manner prescribed by law for the enactment of ordinances by the granting body.
