Except as provided in article 4 of this chapter (s. 40:56-58 et seq.) as to cities of the first class, assessments for benefits for local improvement together with any accompanying awards for incidental damages and all awards of damages for real estate or interests therein taken for any improvement, shall, except as provided in sections 40:56-42 to 40:56-51 of this title, be certified by the officer, board or commissioners making the same to the governing body of the municipality by a report in writing signed by the officer, or a majority of the board or commissioners making the said assessment or award for damages or incidental damages. The report shall be accompanied by a map showing the real estate taken, damaged or benefited by the improvement and for which damages or benefits have been assessed.
The report may be considered by the governing body at any meeting thereof, of which at least two weeks' previous notice shall have been given by the municipal clerk, or by an officer designated as aforesaid by the governing body, posted in five public places in the municipality, or published in a newspaper circulating therein, once in each week for two weeks prior to the meeting, as the governing body may direct, and also by mailing a copy of the notice to the owner or owners named in the report, directed to his or their last known post-office addresses, and the affidavit of said clerk or other designated official shall be conclusive as to such mailing. The notice shall briefly state the object of the meeting with reference to the assessment. At that or any subsequent meeting the governing body after considering the report and map may adopt and confirm the same with or without alterations, as to them may seem proper, and may refer the matter to any committee of its own body, or to the officer or board making such assessment, for revision or correction before taking final action upon it.
When the report shall be adopted and confirmed with or without alterations it shall be final and conclusive and appeals may be taken as hereinafter provided in article 3 of this chapter (s. 40:56-54 et seq.).
Failure to mail the notice in this section required shall not invalidate the proceedings.
