(a) As soon as may be after the organization of said district or within such time as the court may direct, said commissioners shall proceed to have all necessary surveys made and shall lay out said proposed work making a map thereof, and plans and other specifications thereof, and report in writing to the court:

(i) The extent and character of the proposed work;

(ii) If it be found necessary to change the boundaries of the said proposed district, previously fixed, they shall report said proposed change, and, if possible, shall report the names, the residence and post-office addresses of the owners or persons entitled to possession of all lands affected by said change in boundaries, but no such change in boundaries, shall be made as to deprive the court of jurisdiction; provided, however, that if the owners and those entitled to possession, by virtue of public land filing, of lands adjacent to the district, petition to have their lands brought into the district, such petitioners may be considered the same as the original petitioners in making changes of boundaries;

(iii) What lands within the district, as by them reported, will be injured by the proposed work, if any, and they shall therein award to each tract, lot, easement or interest by whomsoever held the amount of damages which they shall determine will be caused to the same by the proposed work;

(iv) All lands within the district as by them reported will be benefited by the proposed work and they shall assess against such lands by whomsoever held the amount of benefits which they determine will be caused to the same by the proposed work. The benefits so assessed are herein referred to as "the assessment roll";

(v) They shall also determine and report to the court the total itemized amount as near as they can determine, that said proposed work will cost, including organization expenses and the unit cost upon which the assessments are based, which shall be designated as "cost of construction";
