The assessments were explained. 25 properties at $16,500. 2 at $5,800 lateral benefits charges. 1 of the 2 is in green acres (deferred assessment). It was explained that it is cheaper for city and Parkview to put in Parkview now than later. Total cost is $3.8 million. $5,800 or $16,500 assessments are payable over 15 years. Mr. Griffin explained the recognized benefits. He provided an overview of project schedule. Water funding and the 2014 bonding bill were discussed. City Administrator Zuleger recommended waiting until after the bonding meeting next week when more information is available on funding. Council Member Nelson asked about the 100% developer paid assess for Section 34. It was explained that they are not paying to get the water to the Section 34. WACs will help pay for the debt service. It was explained that because the entire system is being integrated, each improvement has to be balanced. Picking specific areas to pay only the minimum does not balance the system.
