The total cost of the job including all costs <br />such as engineer, legal fiscal, clerical, etc. amounted to $215,164.18. <br />The cost was then apportioned along those lots receiving benefits solely <br />on their front foot basis. This was done by dividing the total cost by <br />the front footage served. The front footage assessment then became $4.00 <br />per lineal foot. In addition to this a number of connections were made. <br />The total cost of these services resulted in a cost per service of <br />$106.50 and that is the basis for this hearing, to apprise you of what <br />these amounts are and how they were determined. <br />Mr. Knutson cited as an example the difference in the cost of water <br />between Nounds View and Blaine. Blaine water cost on a 75ft, lot is <br />482 while Mounds View lut on same size is $428.50 including the <br />service connection, 46,389.45 lineal ft., 286 services, and 278 assessable <br />services. <br />This concluded Mr. Knutson's explanati)n and the Mayor then asked <br />if there were any 7uesti regarding what had been stated. <br />
