On the day appointed by the legislative authority of the municipal corporation for

discharge its duties. It shall at such meeting or at any adjournment thereof, hear and determine all objections
to the estimated assessment which have been filed under section 727.15 of the Revised Code , and shall equalize such estimated assessments as it thinks proper to conform to
the standards prescribed in the resolution adopted under section 727.12 of the Revised Code . If the board determines to increase the estimated assessment against any lot or parcel
of land or to assess any lot or parcel of land not included in the estimated assessment
and the owner of such lot or parcel of land has not filed an objection to the estimated
assessment under section 727.15 of the Revised Code , the board shall notify such owner by certified mail of such fact and set a time
and place for a hearing on such increase or assessment. Such notice shall be mailed at least five days before the date of such hearing. After the completion of all hearings provided for by this section the board shall
report to the legislative authority its recommendations including any changes which
should be made in the estimated assessment. The legislative authority may approve or disapprove the report including any changes
recommended by the board in the estimated assessment. In the event the legislative authority disapproves the report of the board it shall
