The hearing was opened and continued to June 26 in order to provide notice to the property owners in accordance with State statutes. The necessary notices have been mailed to property owners indicating the amount of the assessment and the date of the hearing. They have also received a copy of the entire assessment roll for their subdivision. Summaries of the project costs and assessments, as well as the actual assessment rolls, are attached. The proposed assessments are based on the project costs. Appraisals for the properties to be assessed could not be prepared in time for the project to proceed this construction season. The actual amount which can be assessed to each property cannot exceed the benefit to the property as defined by State statute. After the assessment hearing is held, and the proposed assessment is adopted, the property owners have 30 days to appeal the assessment amounts. Only after the appeal period expires, and the City is able to determine the funding to be derived from assessments, will the City be able to consider award of the contract. OPTIONS: 1. Return to staff for further review. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 00 -64 adopting the assessment roll for the Twilight Acres 1st and 2nd Addition project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Option No. 2, the adoption of Resolution 00 -64.
