r~zNU1~Es City Council December 23, 1981 Mr. Fahey suggested that the City Clerk determine what the credit would be in this area. Fahey asked why the engineering fees were so high. The Engineer replied tPiat he had to survey the whole property. The Engineer also stated that there is some of his time that is not included in the bi11. The Engineer also stated that Garske has about 10% of the area and should pick up that portion of the cost. The Engineer also stated that according to his firm, there has been no progress on the swail on the Garske property. Forsberg commented that after the property was staked a small machine was in the Garske property, Mr. forsberg felt that at this point nothing more could be done until spring. Mr. Hanson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: kESOLUTION N0. 87-12.-703 - AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF GRANADA HOMES' LETTER OF CREDIT LESS ANY ATTORNEY AND ENGINEERING FEES SUBJECT TO GE77IPJG 1'FIE OUTSTANDING EFlSEMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr. Forsberg.

Deferred The Attorney previously submitted to the Council a model ordinance for Flssessment dealing with senior cit9zen deferrments. Ordinance Mrs. Scalze stated that after reviewing the proposed ordinance she feels the first version submitted by the Attorney would be the way to hand7e it. Mr. Fahey stated that he agreed. Fahey stated thai: he a~ould like the five year renewal provision shnrtened to perhaps 3 years. Fahey stated that it would be possible for a senior citizen's income to suddenly go up and they would no longer be eligible for the deferrment. Sca7ze stated that she would not want to go through the renewal process sooner than 5 years. The Flttorney stated that almost every other City has a 5 year renewal provision. The Attorney stated that new applications would also be coming in on a regular basis, and a less than 5 year provision may cause problems. The City Clerk pointed out that this would not only effect new improvement assessments, but also old assessments. Fahey asked if the people previously granted a senior citizen deferrment would have to come in imanediately to reapply, or would they fall under the renewal provision. Scalze asked if these people would be grandfathered in. Mr. Forsberg felt these deferrments should 6e reviewed the next time the City is reviewing deferrments. Page -7°
