If the governing body deems it necessary that a local improvement to be financed in total or in part by special assessment be constructed or maintained, and after plans and specifications have been filed with the finance officer, the governing body shall draft a proposed resolution of necessity for the improvement and shall schedule a public hearing on the resolution. The proposed resolution of necessity shall include the general nature of the proposed improvement, the material to be used or materials from which a choice may be made, an estimate of the total cost or cost per linear foot, a description of the classes of lots to be assessed and of the method of apportioning the benefits to the lots. If it is deemed expedient for the municipality to assume and pay any portion of the cost of the improvement, the proposed resolution may so provide, or the portion to be assumed may be provided by a subsequent resolution. The proposed resolution may provide that the municipality will pay any definite, specified portion or all of the cost of the improvements in street and alley intersections. The proposed resolution may provide that the municipality will pay any definite, specified portion or all of the cost of improvements fronting or abutting on the side of a corner lot, or it may provide that that portion of the cost may be spread as an area tax on the properties benefitting from the improvement. The proposed resolution of necessity shall state that details, plans, and specifications may be reviewed at the finance office during regular office hours. Multiple improvements may be embraced by one resolution of necessity if the general nature of each improvement is stated.
