COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> A. Continued Public Hearing, to Consider Resolution 7834, Adopting a Special <br /> Assessment Levy for Unpaid Water Service Repairs. <br /> Mayor Flaherty indicated the public hearing was continued from the last meeting and the Council 111 <br /> would take comments at this time. <br /> Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. <br /> City Administrator Ericson explained the property at 2400 County Road H2, known as Robert's <br /> Sports Bar and Entertainment, had a waterline repair totaling $7,536.50. The expense was <br /> passed along to the owner. The property owner wanted to defer action on the assessment hearing <br /> in order to allow for a meeting with the City Attorney. <br /> City Administrator Ericson indicated the issues presented at this meeting. He informed the <br /> Council the property owner has stated he will appeal the assessment and take legal action against <br /> the City, if necessary. This would involve additional legal fees and Staff time, which would <br /> ultimately reduce the assessment amount collected. <br /> City Administrator Ericson stated the property owner was willing to pay $5,500 toward the <br /> assessment. In consultation with the City Attorney, this would be the best course of action for <br /> tiie Council to take so staff's recommendation was to accept the$5,500 as a settlement. <br /> City Attorney Rigs noted the City received a letter on behalf of the property owner from <br /> Attorney Alan Lam -,:_s. The letter contested the assessment and indicated the objection would be <br /> dropped, if the settlement was accepted by the Council. <br /> • <br />
