Chapter 4. The Resolution Of Intention of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 14. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4.

After the report is considered by it, the city council may pass a resolution of intention to order the improvement.

The resolution of intention:
  (a) Shall briefly describe the proposed improvement.
  (b) Shall describe, in writing or by reference to the diagram referred to in Section 18041 with any modifications required by the city council, the boundaries of the assessment district.
  (c) May order that a certain portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of the improvement, the amount of which portion or percentage shall be specified in the resolution, shall be paid out of the city treasury from any fund the city council may designate.

The city council shall, in the resolution of intention, provide that the improvement of the street lighting system shall be for a period of time stated in the resolution of intention. The dates of commencement and ending of that period shall be fixed by the city council on or before the date of execution of any contract as provided in this part, or, in the event that no contract is let and the maintenance or servicing is furnished by the city, those dates shall be fixed by the city council on or before the date of ordering the maintenance or servicing by the city. The city council may subsequently postpone the dates of commencement and ending of the period for a reasonable time upon good and sufficient reason appearing therefor and may, in any advertisement for bids and in any contract entered into, reserve the right to make such postponement for such reason.
