The properties assessed and the amount of the assess- <br />ments are as follow" - <br />Property <br />Fee <br />City Hall <br />S 81.34 <br />Md ui1 ,•n.u,r.• :Ln .n 1•• <br />it I . 14 <br />N1.3491.34 <br />Well 14 <br />Hillview Park <br />91 34 <br />Groonfield Park <br />$4Ut.76 <br />Total Fees <br />City owned property is exempt trom property taxation but not from <br />special assessments. Legislation provides that City owned <br />properties may be assessed on the same hasis as privately owned <br />properties. <br />I have discussed this fee with Cietk-Administrator Paulev and it <br />is our opinion that this fee should he paid for the City Hall and <br />Maintenance Garage but not for any other City owned properties. <br />Our rationale for this is that other than the City liail and the <br />Maintenance Garage the other City owned properties do not <br />generate any solid waste. Persons using City parks may <br />occasionally deposit trash in the trash barrel, located in the <br />parks, however, the Maintenance Department colle,:ts that trash <br />and places it in the dumpster at the Maintenance Garage. <br />Staff awaits Council direction or, this matter. <br />DH/ds <br />Attachments <br />
