MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 14, 2007 The City Attorney noted that the Council would not grant an exemption from the moratorium prior to the adoption of that moratorium. The Attorney recommended that once the moratorium is in place, a development concept could be presented to the Council for consideration as to whether or not it would be willing to grant the exemption. AMENDMENT The City Administrator reviewed the City Engineer's report dated TO August 17, 2007 recommending an amendment to the City's Assessment ASSESSMENT Policy relative to urban street reconstruction. The Administrator noted POLICY that Thunder Bay Road would be the City's first urban street reconstruction since the Assessment Policy was adopted. Application of the current Assessment Policy for urban reconstruction would not result in an equitable assessment for residential properties. The City Administrator explained that the proposed amendment would result in the maximum assessment rate applying to urban street reconstruction for residential properties without the 50% factor. He noted that the City's maximum assessment cap would still be applied. Thus the assessment for reconstructed urban streets would be comparable the assessment for other residential street reconstruction Blesener asked if the existing curb and gutter would remain. The City Administrator reported that much of the curb and gutter has settled or heaved. As much as possible would be retained.
