between the respective owners of the respective properties, and between all parties concerned, considering the
benefits received and burdens imposed, and further finds that in each case the abutting property assessed is
specially benefited in enhanced value to the said property by means of the said improvements in the unit upon
which the particular property abuts and for which assessment is levied and charge made, in a sum in excess of
the said assessment and charge made against the same by this ordinance, and further finds that the apportion-

IV.
Where more than one person, firm or corporation owns an interest in any property above described, each
said person, firm or corporation shall be personally liable only for its, her or his pro rata of the total assessment

ment of such proportionate sum.

installments to become due and payable not more than thirty (30) days after the completion and acceptance by
the City of the particular unit. PROVIDED FURTHER, that the City Attorney is hereby empowered to authorize
payments of said sums of lesser installments and/or over a longer period of time in cases in which the Director
of Public Works has previously determined that an extreme financial hardship upon the property owner will
