A public hearing on the improvement had been scheduled <br />for October 25, 1993, continued to November 8, 1993 and then <br />continued again to this evening to allow time to fully inform the <br />developer and the property owner of the scope of the improvement <br />and to discuss the assessment of the property with the property <br />owner. <br />Mr. Schumacher has met with the property owner George Reiling. <br />Mr. Reiling is contending that the proposed assessment cannot be <br />supported in court. The total project costs are nearly <br />$2,.000,000.00 and the proposed assessment to the only affected <br />property owner is about $400,000.00. "Mr. Schumacher has <br />explained to him that capturing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) <br />will reduce that assessment to approximately $200,000.00. Mr. <br />Reiling still feels the assessment is too high. He feels that he <br />can sell his property and not pay any assessment. He has <br />emphasized that he supports the improvement project and has <br />cooperated with the City regarding the improvement itself. <br />PAGE 1 <br />299 <br />
