(a) After the work covered by the contract has been completed,
the engineer shall prepare and file with the city or county clerk a
final, complete and accurate statement of the cost of the work
covered by the contract. Such statement shall cover the
engineering, appraising, advertising, and the expenses incurred, or
to be incurred, by the city or county incident thereto, but shall
exclude the cost of acquisition. The engineer shall file at the
same time a statement of the portion thereof previously determined
by the governing body or the board of county commissioners to be
assessed. Upon the filing of the statements by the engineer, the
governing body of the city or the board of county commissioners
shall adopt and confirm the same if found to be correct.
(b) The engineer's report shall also include a proposed schedule
of estimated assessments proposed to be made against each lot, tract
and parcel of land included in the district. The governing body or
the board shall, by resolution, appoint commissioners to appraise
and apportion for the benefits of the several lots or tracts of
land, exclusive of streets and alleys, located within the assessment
district. The commissioners shall consist of three disinterested
freeholders of the city or county, not owners of any of the property
to be assessed. Such commissioners shall be paid not to exceed Ten
Dollars ($10.00) for each day while actually employed in such
service. The act of a majority of the commissioners shall have like
force and effect as the act of all.
