      in  the minutes of its proceedings. This resolution shall contain a copy
      of the district plan, any report of  the  city  planning  commission  or
      board,  the  fact  that  a  district plan is on file in the city clerk's
      office for public inspection and the time when and the place  where  the
      city  council  will  meet  and hold a public hearing to hear all persons
      interested in the subject thereof.
        (b) The resolution shall also contain a statement that  any  owner  of
      real  property,  deemed  benefited  and  therefore  within the district,
      objecting to the plan must file an objection at the office of  the  city
      clerk  within thirty days of the conclusion of the hearing on forms made
      available by the clerk, and, further, that if (1)  owners  of  at  least
      fifty-one  percent  of  the assessed valuation of all the benefited real
      property situated within the boundaries of  the  district  proposed  for
      establishment   or   extension,  as  shown  upon  the  latest  completed
      assessment roll of the city, or (2) at least fifty-one  percent  of  the
      owners  of  benefited  real  property  within  the  area included in the
      district  proposed  for  establishment  or  extension,  so  file   their
      objections, the district will not be established or extended.
        (c) The city council shall cause a copy of the resolution or a summary
      thereof  to be published at least once in the City Record or a newspaper
      in general circulation in the city, the first publication to be not less
      than ten nor more than thirty days before the day set  for  the  hearing
      required  by  this section. In addition, not less than ten nor more than
      thirty days before the date set for the hearing, the city council  shall
      cause a copy of the resolution or a summary thereof to be mailed to each
      owner of real property within the proposed district at the address shown
      on  the  latest  city  assessment  roll,  to  such  other persons as are
      registered with the city to receive tax bills concerning  real  property
      within the proposed district, and to the tenants of each building within
      the  proposed district. If the city council publishes or mails a summary
      of the resolution, such summary shall include the  business  address  of
      the  city clerk, a statement that copies of the resolution shall be made
      available free of charge to the public, the  improvements  proposed  and
      the  maximum  cost  thereof,  the  total  annual  amount  proposed to be
      expended for improvements, maintenance and operation,  and  a  statement
      indicating the rights of owners to object pursuant to subdivision (b) of
      this section.
        (d)  The  resolution  may further state the place, other than the city
      clerk's office, where the district plan may be inspected in  advance  of
      the  hearing,  if  the  city  council  determines  that,  in  the public
      interest, any additional place of inspection is necessary or desirable.
