(2)
The name of the owner of record of each lot and parcel as shown on the tax rolls or such other source as the director of public works or city clerk deems reliable;

The total estimated cost of the improvements to each benefited lot or parcel; and
(4)
The method or alternative methods of assessment utilized in determining the cost of the improvements to be assessed to property owners, including any formulas for dealing with irregular lots and any assumptions of depth of the improvements.
The tentative assessment roll shall not be held to limit or restrict the duties of the director of public works in the preparation of the preliminary assessment roll under the provisions of section 94-49. One of the triplicates of such plans, specifications, cost estimates and the tentative assessment roll shall be filed with the city manager, one shall be filed with the clerk, and the other triplicate shall be retained by the director of public works in his files, all of which shall remain open to public inspection.
