The city council may, at any time, adopt a resolution of intention to order that the expenses of additional maintenance service provided by the city, including the costs of necessary repairs, replacements, power, electrical current, care, supervision, and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation of the public property to which additional maintenance service is to be provided, shall be charged either partly or wholly, to the owners of the real property in such geographic area of the city as the city council shall determine will be specially benefited by the additional maintenance service. Said resolution of intention may be adopted by the city council on its own motion or upon the request of any owner of real property in such geographic area of the city who desires that the city provide additional maintenance service to that area.

Said resolution of intention shall also generally describe the additional maintenance services to be performed by the proposed maintenance benefit area, shall order the city clerk to give notice of the adoption of said resolution in the manner provided in Article III of this chapter and shall give notice that protests against said maintenance benefit area, and its annexation to an existing maintenance benefit area, may be filed and will be heard in accordance with the provisions of said Article III.
