4607. Whenever the governing body of a city determines that the public interest or convenience requires the making of any improvement in any part of the territory of the city, it may pass a resolution to that effect.

For the purpose of such description, reference may be made to maps, plats, plans, or other documents on file in the office of the clerk of the city.

The resolution shall also contain the total dollar amount of a general estimate of the costs and expenses of the proposed improvement. In arriving at such estimate, the governing body may include the estimated amounts of any or all of the items which are set forth in Section 4625.
