wastewater collection project may appear and be heard at the public hearing, either
in person or by a duly authorized representative. Any such owner of benefited
property may submit to the presiding officer or to the designated clerk a written

and designation of benefited property, and containing a statement of any reason for
advocating or objecting to any of the aspects of the proposed project, and such
written instruments shall be attached to and included in the written report of the
hearing. Whether or not any such written instruments are submitted, the presiding
officer at the public hearing may require those in attendance to execute an
attendance roster, to properly identify themselves as owners of benefited property or
representatives of the owners, and may impose reasonable rules upon the conduct
of the public hearing. The estimated costs of the project shall be disclosed at the
public hearing, or, if construction bids for construction of the project have been

reports to be carried out at the public hearing. The public hearing may be adjourned
to convene again, and from time to time either at a time and place announced at the
