(1) The fact that the contract has been let or that such project has been acquired or improved, or acquired and improved, and otherwise completed in whole or in part shall not prevent such assessment from being made, nor shall the omission, failure, or neglect of any officer to comply with the provisions of the laws governing the urban district as to petition, notice, resolution to acquire or improve, or both acquire and improve, estimate, survey, diagram, manner of letting contract or execution of work, or any other matter whatsoever connected with the project and the first assessment thereof operate to invalidate or in any way to affect the making of the new assessment or reassessment, as provided for by sections 32-11-668 to 32-11-679, charging the property benefited with the expense thereof, except as otherwise provided in this article.
Any such reassessment shall be levied by resolution, shall become final, and shall besubject to appeal as provided in sections 32-11-639 and 32-11-640.
Such reassessment shall be for an amount which shall not exceed the actual cost andvalue of the project, together with any interest that has lawfully accrued thereon; and such amount shall be equitably apportioned upon the tracts benefited thereby according to the provisions of the laws of the urban district.
It is the true intent and meaning of sections 32-11-668 to 32-11-679 to make the costand expense of each local improvement project payable by the tracts benefited by such project by making a reassessment therefor, notwithstanding that the proceedings of the board, engineer, or other body or any officers thereof may be found irregular or defective, whether jurisdictional or otherwise.
