<br />Subd. 2. Combining improvements. An improvement on two or more streets or two
<br />or more types of improvement in or on the same street or streets or different streets may
<br />be included in one proceeding and conducted as one improvement.
<br />Subd. 3. Relation to charter and other laws. When any portion of the cost of an
<br />improvement is defrayed by special assessments, the procedure prescribed in this chap-
<br />ter shall be followed unless the council determines to proceed under charter provisions;
<br />but this chapter does not prescribe the procedure to be followed by a municipality in
<br />making improvements financed without the use of special assessments.
<br />If the council determines to proceed under charter provisions for special assess-
<br />ments, such provisions shall be deemed to include a requirement that notices of pro-
<br />posed assessments inform property owners of the procedures they must follow under
<br />the charter in order to appeal the assessments to district court. The notices shall also
<br />inform property owners of the provisions of sections 435.193 to 435.195 and the exis-
<br />tence of any deferment procedure established pursuant thereto in the municipality.
<br />Charter provisions shall also be deemed to require that when the council deter-
<br />mines to make any improvement, it shall let the contract for all or part of the work,
<br />or order all or part of the work done by day labor or otherwise as may be authorized
<br />by the charter, no later than one year after the adoption of the resolution ordering such
<br />improvement, unless a different time limit is specifically stated in the resolution order-
<br />ing the improvement.
