Page 4 <br /> The entire project shall be considered as a whole for the purpose of calculating and <br /> computing an assessment rate. However, project costs for work of a dissimilar nature <br /> (ie., where a project contains different types of work such as street resurfacing in one <br /> project area and street reconstruction in another area) shall be calculated separately <br /> and assessed separately according to benefit received. <br /> If City staff has doubt as to whether or not the costs of the project may exceed the <br /> special benefits to the property, the City Council should obtain such appraisals as may <br /> be necessary to support the proposed assessment. Appraisals may be obtained <br /> anytime after the improvement has been ordered including prior to actually awarding <br /> the bid or entering into a contract for the work. The City Council may also conduct <br /> assessment hearings and actually adopt the assessment roll anytime after the <br /> improvement hearing and before a contract for the work is awarded. <br /> The Assessment Policy, in brief summary, consists of six (6) main sections addressing <br /> General Policy Statement, Methods of Assessment, Improvement Type and Cost <br /> Apportionment, Assessment Conditions, Supplementary Guide section and Definition <br /> section. <br />
