MINUTES IMPROVEMENT HEARINGS NOVEMBER 21, 2016 payment (either in full or part) with no interest within the first 30 days after the assessment is adopted, or allowing the assessment to be certified against property taxes for collection over a 10 year period at an interest rate of 3.75%. The Engineer noted that after certification assessments can be paid off early to the County at any time. He suggested, however, that payments should be made prior to November 15t'in the given year or the County will add the next year's interest to the balance. The City Engineer then reviewed the assessment roll as well as a sample amortization schedule for an assessment that would be certified for collection with property taxes. Kathy Peterson, 815 Aspen Circle, explained from there was a bad curbing installed when Aspen Circle was built, before the houses were built. She stated that they took care of it replacing it themselves because it was never addressed by the City. The City Administrator stated that the Council could give a credit for what the City would have paid to replace the curb at this property. The City Engineer noted that there were six properties that had replaced their whole driveway including the curb, plus 815 Aspen. The City Administrator stated the City will still assess the full amount to the property, but will issue checks as a credit for the City costs of what the City would have paid to replace what was removed. The owner of 825 Aspen Circle stated she replaced her driveway four years ago, and the bottom was replaced this year with the construction and now doesn't snatch the rest of the driveway. The City Administrator stated he and the City Engineer will look at her driveway to see if a credit is applicable, and will be brought to the Council to decide. The City Administrator reported that anyone wishing to object to the proposed assessment should do so in writing at this time. Submitting a written objection will preserve the property owners right to contest the assessment in District Court. There were no written objections received. There were no additional comments from the general public. Upon motion by Keis, seconded by Montour, the assessment hearing was closed.
