The next step <br />in the public improvement process is to approve the plans and specifications and authorize <br />advertisement for bids. <br />The City Attorney has informed us that we will not have appraisals completed in time for the <br />assessment hearing.

We will clearly state to the contractors that the project may be terminated <br />after the assessment appeal period. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Return to staff for further review. <br />2.
