PUBLIC HEARING, ASSESSMENTS, WOODRIDGE ESTATES AND SURROUNDING AREAS, RESOLUTION NO. 62 - 90 Mr. Schneider told the Council that the improvements for this area are nearly completed and the assessment for all parcels has been calculated.

He noted that the objections to the assessment are numerous and this objection was presented to preserve the right of appeal.

Mr. Jensen said he also had a concern in trying to determine what portion of the costs should be attributed to Woodridge Estates. He noted that Mr. Schneider's presentation tonight did present a clearer picture of what has occurred.
