Said consent shall be evidenced by a resolution of the appropriate legislative body and shall, of itself, constitute assent to the assumption of jurisdiction over said lands for all the purposes enumerated in this article and shall authorize the City of Modesto to take each and every step required for or suitable for the consummation of the work extending outside the boundaries of the City of Modesto and including but not limited to the levying, collecting and enforcement of the assessments hereinafter referred to.
