Initiation of proceedings; survey and report of project.
Whenever the district board
considers it necessary, upon its own motion, or upon the petition of the owners
of one-half of the property that benefits specially from the improvement, to
make any improvement to be paid for in whole or in part by special assessment
according to benefits, the board shall, by motion, cause a survey and written
report for such project to be made and filed with the secretary. Unless the
district board directs otherwise, the report shall contain:
(1) A map or plat
showing the general nature, location and extent of the proposed improvement and
the land to be assessed for the payment of any part of the cost thereof.

proposed project is to be carried out in cooperation with any other
governmental agency, the district board may adopt the plans, specifications and
estimates of such agency.
(3) An estimate
of the probable cost of the improvement, including any legal, administrative
and engineering costs attributable thereto.
(4) An estimate
of the unit cost of the improvement to the specially benefited properties.
(5) A
recommendation as to the method of assessment to be used to arrive at a fair
apportionment of the whole or any portion of the cost of the improvement to the
properties specially benefited.
(6) The
description and assessed value of each lot, parcel of land or portion thereof,
to be specially benefited by the improvement, with the names of the record
owners thereof and, when readily available, the names of the contract
purchasers thereof.

of outstanding assessments against property to be assessed. [1969 c.686 §2]
