Improvements may be made either pursuant to this chapter, or pursuant to any other law. If, however, any proceedings are commenced pursuant to this chapter, its provisions apply to any improvement made under those proceedings until such improvement is completed.If, after an improvement has been made pursuant to this chapter, the governing body of any city determines that it is necessary or convenient to make any additional improvement, the governing body may proceed to do so either pursuant to this chapter or under any other appropriate law.
