§ 10368. For purposes of proceeding under this chapter, the assessment shall be confirmed

For purposes of proceeding under this chapter, the assessment shall be confirmed as follows instead of the procedure specified in Section 10312. When upon the hearing the proposal to assess is confirmed as filed, modified, or corrected by resolution, the legislative body shall order the proposed improvement to be made and declare its action upon the report and assessment. After design work and plans and specifications have been completed, and after contracts have been let pursuant to Section 10501, the legislative body shall, by resolution, fix the amount of the assessment, which shall be equal to or less than the maximum assessment stated in the report prepared pursuant to Section 10364, as filed, modified, or corrected. If the amount of the assessment is more than the estimated cost of the project stated in the report prepared pursuant to Section 10364, as filed, modified, or corrected, the legislative body shall include, within the resolution fixing the amount of the assessment, an explanation for the increase over the estimated cost of the project. In no case shall the amount of the assessment exceed the maximum assessment stated in the report, as filed, modified, or corrected. Resolutions adopted pursuant to this section shall be final as to all persons, and the assessment fixed shall be thereby levied upon the respective subdivisions of land in the assessment district.
