A petition for any parking station improvement may be filed with the municipal clerk. The petition shall be signed by either:

1. A majority of the record owners of property liable for assessment under the proposal; or

2. The record owners of more than one-half the area liable for assessment under the proposal.

The petition shall set forth:

1. The general nature of the proposed improvement;

2. The estimated or probable cost;

3. The extent of the proposed improvement district to be assessed;

4. The proposed methods of assessment; and

5. The proposed apportionment of cost between the improvement district and the municipality.

Upon the filing of the petition, the governing body may make findings by resolution as to the advisability of the improvement, the nature of the improvement, the estimated cost, the boundaries of the improvement district, the method of assessment and apportionment of cost between the improvement district and the municipality, all as determined by the governing body. Thereupon the governing body may proceed without notice and hearing to order the improvement as provided in Section 32-108 of this title, except that no protests shall be received as provided therein. The area of the improvement district finally determined by the governing body to be assessed may not exceed the district proposed in the petition unless notice is given and a hearing held as provided in Section 32-107 of this title, and the proceedings shall be subject to protest as in other cases.
