At the time appointed for that purpose or at some other time to which it may adjourn,
the council shall hear objections to the preliminary assessment roll of all persons
interested who may appear and offer proof in relation thereto. Then or thereafter,
the council shall either annul or sustain or modify in whole or in part the assessment,
either by confirming the preliminary assessment against any or all lots or parcels
described thereon, or by cancelling, increasing or reducing the same, according to
the special benefits which the council decides each of the lots or parcels has received
or will receive on account of the improvements, except that assessments against railroads
because of contract or franchise obligations shall be in accordance with such obligations.
If any property is omitted, from the preliminary roll, the council may place it on
the roll and levy the proper assessment. The council may thereupon confirm the assessment
roll, and the assessments so confirmed shall be in proportion to the special benefits,
except in the case of franchise obligations of railroads. Whenever the governing bodies
shall confirm assessments for local improvements, the city clerk shall enter on the
council minutes and on the assessment roll the date, hour, and minute of confirmation
the assessments shall be a lien on the property assessed of the same nature and to
the same extent as county and city taxes and shall be superior to all other liens
and encumbrances. After the assessment roll is confirmed a copy of the same shall
be delivered to the city tax collector.
