2. The resolution must describe the undertaking in general terms and must state:

(c) The basic security and any additional security for the payment of securities or other allowable borrowing instruments of the municipality pertaining to the undertaking.
3. The resolution must designate the tax increment area or its location, so that the various tracts of taxable real property, any taxable personal property and the locations of any retailers and employers can be identified and determined to be within or without the proposed tax increment area, but need not describe in minute detail each tract of real property proposed to be included within the tax increment area.
4. The engineer shall file with the clerk the preliminary plans, estimate of costs and statements.
5. Upon the filing of the preliminary plans, estimate of costs and statements with the clerk, the governing body shall examine the preliminary plans, estimate of costs and statements, and if the governing body approves of the preliminary plans, estimate of costs and statements, it shall by resolution provisionally order the undertaking.
