All proceedings to make any public improvements, except emergency work or repairs requiring prompt attention and ordinary maintenance work, shall be begun by the adoption of a resolution by the council declaring the necessity of such improvement, and stating the nature thereof and the method of payment therefor. When payment is to be made by special tax bills or other evidence of assessments upon real property, or out of the public improvement fund, as provided in sections 22-61 through 22-63 of this chapter, and reimbursed by collection of such assessments, the resolution shall state the proposed method of making assessments to pay therefor. The resolution shall also state the estimate of the probable cost of such improvement, but any error or inaccuracy in such estimate as compared with the actual cost of any work shall not affect the validity of the proceedings or of any assessments made or special tax bills issued to pay for such work.
