Sec. 6. (a) Before a survey of a municipality is made under this chapter, the municipal legislative body must declare, by resolution, the necessity for making the survey or plat. The resolution must describe and embrace all tracts to be included in the plat, with the description being by streets, alleys, corporate lines, other platted additions' lines, or any boundary line that can be definitely located. Notice of the adoption of the resolution must be given in accordance with IC 5-3-1. The notice must fix a time and a place where the persons owning the tracts may appear before the legislative body and object to any further steps being taken in the proceedings.
(b) If, after hearing any objections, the legislative body considers it necessary to proceed with the survey and plat, it shall direct the municipal civil engineer, if the engineer is a professional surveyor, or, if the engineer is not, some suitable and competent professional surveyor, to immediately make the survey and plat and report them to the legislative body.
