Mayor Benson asked Mr. Hawkins to explain the legal aspects of this reassessment and the reasons why it is being considered. Mr. Hawkins explained that the assessments levied against the lots that have been designated as unbuildable by the Corps of Engineers must either be reassessed to the project or the entire City will be responsible for payment of those assessments. Mr. Hawkins also noted that this is allowed by law. Mr. John Davidson, City Engineer, presented the figures for the reassessment noting that the costs have been spread proportionally against the other properties. The amount to be pro -rated against all other lots is $63,288.00. Mr. Davidson told the Council and persons in the audience that this cost per lot has been worked out and is available from the Clerk's office. There had been several letters from property owners stating their objections to this reassessment which Mayor Benson read into the record at this time. The letters were from 1) Mr. Frank Modjeska; 2) El Rehbein & Son; 3) Robert Peterson Company; 4) Walter Williams. Mr. Walter Williams, from the audience, presented his objections to this reassessment. Mr. Ed Loscheider, a resident, objected to this issue. Mr. Steve Pojar, property owner also objected. IThe general consensus of the persons who objected was that the City should proceed to obtain permits from the Corps of Engineer for the filling of those lots to make them buildable. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:53 P.M.
