STAFF REPORT:
On October 1, 2013, the City Council approved a Resolution declaring the costs to be assessed, ordering
the preparation of the proposed assessment, and calling for the hearing on proposed assessment for the
trunk watermain improvements for the Keats MSA Street and Trunk Watermain Improvements. The
Project is substantially complete and the special assessments for this project were established as fixed
amounts for a trunk watermain extension. Therefore the unit assessments remain unchanged with the final
project costs.
