Whenever the governing body shall have acquired lands for public parking
stations it shall cause to be made by some competent person an estimate,
under oath, of the cost of improving the land for parking stations, which
estimate shall be filed with the city clerk. The percentage of the cost of
improving such parking stations to be assessed against the benefit district
shall be the same as determined for the cost of acquiring the lands
therefor. The assessment against the benefit district shall be apportioned
among the various lots, tracts, pieces and parcels of land within the
benefit district in accordance with the special benefits accruing thereto,
this apportionment of benefit assessments to be made by three disinterested
property owners appointed by the governing body of such city within thirty
days after the filing of the estimates of the cost of said improvement with
the city clerk.
As soon as the amount chargeable against each piece of property is
ascertained, the governing body of such city shall by ordinance levy such
amount against this said real estate in the benefit district, which
ordinance shall be published once in the official city paper. No suit to
question the validity of the proceedings of the city shall be commenced
after thirty days from the awarding of a contract for such improvements and
until the expiration of said thirty days the contractor shall not commence
work under his or her contract. If no suit shall be filed within such
thirty days then all proceedings theretofore had shall be held to be regular,
sufficient and valid.
