Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases said work and improvements will bring the finished work to a grade differ- ent from that formerly existing, and that to said extent said grades are hereby changed and that said work will be done to said changed grades. 9. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size be- tween the improvements proposed to be made herein and private property 2 . , e e and where it is more economical to eliminate such disparity by work on said private property than by adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined that it is in the public interest and more economical to do such work on private property to eliminate such disparity. In such cases, said work on private property shall, with the written consent of the owner of said property, be done and the actual cost thereof may be added to the proposed assessment of the lot on which said work is to be done. 10. Notice is hereby given that it is the intention of the Council to consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing contributions by the City from any sources of revenue not otherwise prohibited by law, or any specified amount, portion or percentage of such revenues, for the purpose of acquisition or construction of improvements, the acquisition of interest in real property and the payment of expenses incidental thereto for the use and benefit of the assessment district, and to consider authorizing application of such ~evenues as a credit upon the assessment. 11. The descriptions of the acquisitions and improvements and the termini of the work contained in this Resolution are general in nature. All items of work do not necessarily extend for the full length of the description thereof. The plans and profiles of the work, and maps and descriptions, as contained in the Engineer's report, shall be controlling as to the correct and detailed description thereof. 12. Said contemplated acquisitions and improvements, in the opinion of said Council, are of more than local or ordinary publ~c benefit, and the costs and expenses thereof are made chargeable upon an assessment district, the exterior boundaries of which district are the composite and consolidated area as more particularly shown on a map thereof on file in the office of the City Clerk, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars. Said map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in the proposed district and shall govern for all details as to the extent of the assessment district. 3 , . . . e 13. Said Council further declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and alleys within said assessment district in use in the performance of a public function as such, shall be omitted from the assessment hereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of said acquisitions and improvements. 14.

Said assessment shall refer to said subdivisions by their respective numbers as assigned pursuant to subdivision (d) of this section. 18. Notice is hereby given that, in the opinion of the Council, the public interest will not be served by allowing the property 5 .. . . e . ~ owners to take the contract for the construction of the improvement~ and that, pursuant to Section 10502.4, of the Streets and Highways Code, no notice of award of contract shall be published. 19. If any excess shall be realized from the assessment, it shall be used, in such amounts as the Council may determine, in accordance with the provisions of law for one or more of the follow- ing purposes: (a) Transfer to the general fund of the City, provided that the amount of any such transfer shall not exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 5% of the total amount expended from the improvement fund; (b) As a credit upon the assessment and any supplemental assessment; or (c) For the maintenance of the improvements. 20.
