A. The council may assess up to 100 percent of any or all costs of a public improvement against each parcel of property benefited by the improvement. Unless a specific method of computation of the benefit to the property is expressly provided for ascertaining the amount to be assessed against the property benefited by a designated improvement, the council shall assess each parcel of property in a local improvement district in proportion to, and not to exceed, the value of the benefits received from the improvement.

B. If grant funds are available and applied toward the costs of a public improvement, the council, in its discretion, may apply such funds to the assessed costs, unassessed costs, or both. (Ord. 09-010 § 3, 2009; Ord. 597 § 6, 2002; Ord. 539 § 3, 1998; Ord. 196 § 6, 1976)
