A. Any municipality taking advantage of this Subpart shall adopt a resolution giving notice of its intention to make proposed improvements. The resolution shall contain a general description of the improvements contemplated and the manner of paying for them and shall state whether the improvements will be constructed under private contract or undertaken by the municipality. Such resolution shall be signed by the authorized officer of the municipality.
B. (1) The notice shall contain substantially all things set forth in the resolution. However, if there will be a penalty for prepayment of assessments levied against individual property owners pursuant to R.S. 33:3306, such penalty provisions shall be stated directly and without ambiguity so as to be understandable to a reasonable man. The notice shall set forth further that the municipal governing authority ordering the giving of notice will, in open session, at the date, hour, and place named, hear all objections to the proposed improvements, the manner of paying for them, and the manner in which the improvements shall be made.
(2) The notice of intention shall be published three times within at least two consecutive weeks, the first publication being not less than thirteen days before the date fixed for the hearing of objections and the last publication being in the last week. The notice shall be published in a newspaper published in the municipality or, if there is none, then in some newspaper published in the parish where the municipality is located or by posting in three public places within the corporate limits of the municipality thirteen days before the date of the hearing.
C. After hearing and passing on the objections, the municipal governing authority may order the improvements constructed in the manner hereinafter provided.
