(b) No guarantee or responsibility shall be executed or assumed by any community until the legislative body of the community has passed an ordinance specifically authorizing the assumption of a guarantee and acceptance of responsibility.
(c) Before passing an ordinance, the legislative body of the community or its committee to which the proposed ordinance has been referred, shall hold a public hearing after giving notice of the date, time, place, and purpose.
(d) The notices shall be published not less than once a week for three (3) successive weeks prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation published in the community or, if no newspaper is published in a community, then in a newspaper of general circulation in the community.
(e) At the public hearing, all interested persons or agencies shall have an opportunity to be heard and to submit communications in writing.
