(2) After a report required by subsection (1) is filed with the Clerk, it shall be presented to the City Council and the report shall be available for public examination.

This agreement, or advice that agreement cannot be reached, shall be presented to the Council prior to the adoption by Council of the resolution provided for by section 1:286 of this chapter.
