SECTION 2880-2885

2880. If the hearing on the report is held before the legislative
body, it may consider the report immediately after the hearing or at
such time within 30 days as it may designate.

2881. If the hearing on the report is not held before the
legislative body, then within 30 days after the report on the hearing
has been filed, the report and the report on the hearing shall be
considered and (except as to the map, plat or diagram and the
assessed valuations and true valuations of and assessments and
estimated assessments upon individual parcels of land) shall be read
to the legislative body.

2882. If the legislative body determines that the public interest,
convenience and necessity require the acquisition or improvement
substantially as set forth in the report and that the project is
feasible, it may proceed under the law stated in the report as the
statute under which the proceeding is to be conducted, except as
otherwise provided in this division.

2883. The acquisition or improvement shall be deemed substantially
the same as set forth in the report if the things proposed to be done
in the report are not so changed or modified as to increase the
estimated cost by more than one-tenth of the total estimated cost as
stated in the report and no changes exceeding said one-tenth shall be
made.

2884. The legislative body may, without further notice or hearing,
omit or decrease any portion of or make such alterations or changes
in the work proposed to be done which will not increase the estimated
cost by more than one-tenth of the total estimated cost as stated in
the report and no changes or alterations which will increase said
estimated cost by more than said one-tenth shall be made. The person
who prepares the plans and specifications shall estimate separately
the cost of each addition to or omission from or decrease in the
things proposed to be done as set forth in the report, and file such
estimate with the clerk of the legislative body. Such filed estimate
shall be conclusive evidence of the cost of such changes.

2885. At the hearing on the ordinance or resolution of intention,
the reports (except as to the map, plat or diagram and the assessed
valuations and true valuations of and the assessments and estimated
assessments upon each parcel of land) shall be read or summarized to
the legislative body prior to the consideration of protests and
objections, if any. If the hearing on the ordinance or resolution of
intention is held at the same time as the hearing on the report this
section shall not apply.
