base would be shifted. Mr. Tester also explained that the tax <br /> burden has been shifted to the lower value homes by the state <br /> legislature. <br /> Mr. Kaim asked who will see that his taxes go down and that the <br /> City government does not spend more? <br /> Sally Kuether, 7080 Rice Lake Lane - Ms. Kuether said that no one <br /> is promising that taxes will go down but they will stabilize and <br /> not go up. <br /> Mr. Smith said that the intent is to shift the tax burden from the <br /> residential property to the commercial/industrial property. He <br /> also noted that the three (3) areas being discussed are located on <br /> the major highways and commercial traffic will not be coming into <br /> the neighborhoods. <br /> Jerry Hanson, 1178 Main Street - Mr. Hanson said he was confused <br /> and asked if there was a specific change being proposed and what is <br /> the exact language? Mr. Wessel said that the exact language is not <br /> yet drafted but he will have this information for the meeting <br /> tomorrow. The intent of the public meeting was to provide general <br /> information. <br /> Arlene Averbeck, 7855 Lake Drive - Ms. Averbeck asked in regard to <br /> the 49/Lake Drive intersection improvement with the present Charter <br /> provisions he can "opt" out of the assessment. What makes him pay <br /> under Chapter 429? Mr. Schneider explained that one (1) property <br /> owner owns the entire portion of the intersection and can petition <br /> against the assessment under the City Charter provisions. However, <br /> under Chapter 429 he would be assessed his fair share. This is a <br /> $1,800, 000. 00 project. The State has pledged $800, 000. 00, the <br /> County has pledged $500, 000. 00 and the City must pay the balance of <br /> $500, 000.00. The Charter does not allow the City to take this from <br /> general taxes and also allows the property owner to "opt" out of <br /> the assessment. Where is the City going to get the money to pay <br /> its portion of the improvement? A gentleman asked if a bond could <br /> be sold. Mr. Schneider explained that bonds cannot not be sold <br /> without a method to repay them and where is that money going to <br /> come from if it cannot come from general taxes or from assessments? <br /> Mark Rehbein, 7545 Patti Drive - Mr. Rehbein asked what the Mayor's <br /> position on the matter is. Mayor Reinert was not in the audience. <br /> Joe Kaim, 6324 Deerwood Lane - Mr. Kaim asked if the assessment <br /> could be due over a period of time and added to the property taxes? <br /> He also asked if the assessment was limited to the amount of <br /> increase in property value. Mr. Peskar said yes to both questions <br /> and this is essentially the same process as under State Statute <br /> 429. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
