Except as herein otherwise provided for the issuance of bonds, all of said work shall be done as provided in the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. 2. All of said work and improvements are to be constructed at the places and in the particular locations, of the forms, sizes, dimensions and materials, and at the lines, grades and elevations, as shown and delineated upon the plans, profiles and specifications to be made therefor, as hereinafter provided. There is to be excepted from the work above described any of such work already done to line and grade and marked excepted or shown not to be done on said plans, profiles and specifications. Whenever any public way is herein referred to as running between two public ways, or from or to any public way, the intersections of the public ways referred to are included to the extent that work is shown on said plans to be done therein. Said streets and highways are or will be more particularly shown in the records in the office of the County Recorder of the County of Alameda, State of California, and shall be shown upon said plans. 3. Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases said work and improvements will bring the finished work to a grade different from that formerly existing, and that to said extent said grades are hereby changed and that said work will be done to said changed grades. 4. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size between the improvements proposed to be made herein and private property and where it is more economical to eliminate such disparity by work on said private property than by adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined that it is in the public interest and more economical to do such work on private property to eliminate such disparity. In such cases, said work on private property shall, with the written consent of the owner of said property, be done and the actual cost thereof may be added to the proposed assessment of the lot on which said work is to be done. 5. This Council does hereby adopt and establish as the official grades for said work the grades and elevations to be shown upon said plans, profiles and specifications. All such grades and elevations are to be in feet and decimals thereof with reference to the datum plane of this City. 6.

Said map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in the proposed district and shall govern for all details as to the extent of the assessment district. 8. This Council declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and alleys within said assessment district in use in the performance of a public function, and all lands owned by any public entity, including the United States and the State of California, or any departments thereof, shall be omitted from the assessment hereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of said acquisitions and improvements. 9.

Said assessment shall refer to said subdivisions by their respective numbers as assigned pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this paragraph. When any portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of said acquisitions and improvements is to be paid from sources other than assessments, the amount of such portion or percentage shall first be deducted from the total estimated cost and expenses of said acquisitions and improvements, and said assessment shall include only the remainder of the estimated cost and expenses. 10. If any excess shall be realized from the assessment it shall be used, in such amounts as this Council may determine, in accordance with the provisions of law, for one or more of the following purposes: (a) Transfer to the general fund of this City, provided that the amount of any such transfer shall not exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 5% of the total amount expended from the improvement fund; (b) As a credit upon the assessment and any supplemental assessment; or (c) For the maintenance of the improvements. 4 11.

Reference is hereby made to proceedings had pursuant to Division 4 of the Streets and Highways Code which are on file in the office of said Clerk. 16.
