When it is deemed necessary by a municipal corporation to require the construction or repair of sidewalks, curbs, or gutters within the municipal corporation by the owners of the lots or lands abutting thereon, the legislative authority of the municipal corporation shall cause plans, specifications, and an estimate of the cost of such construction or repair to be prepared, showing the location and dimensions of such sidewalks, curbs, or gutters and the specifications for the construction or repair thereof, and filed in the office of the clerk of the legislative authority. After such plans, specifications, and estimate of cost have been filed, as provided in this section, the legislative authority may declare the necessity for the construction or repair of such sidewalks, curbs, or gutters by the adoption of a resolution which shall:
(A) Approve the plans, specifications, and estimate of cost of the proposed construction or repair on file as provided by this section;
(B) Describe the lots and lands abutting upon the sidewalks, curbs, or gutters to be constructed or repaired by the termini of the improvement or by street address;
(C) Set forth that such sidewalks, curbs, or gutters shall be constructed or repaired by the owners of the lots or lands abutting thereon in accordance with the specifications on file in the office of the clerk of the legislative authority of the municipal corporation;

(E) State that in the event such sidewalks, curbs, or gutters are not constructed or repaired by the owners of the lots and lands abutting thereon in accordance with such plans and specifications and within the time prescribed in this resolution, the municipal corporation will so construct or repair such sidewalks, curbs, or gutters and assess the cost thereof against the lots and lands abutting thereon.
