The Mayor explained that this hearing was for the purpose of deter-
mining and setting the individual assessment for the homes on the 1960 -3
project. He then turned the floor over to Mr. Knutson, Village Engineer.
Mr. Knutson then explained that this project was initiated in 190
by the Village Council in answer to petitions received and a hearing
was held to determine where the water lines would go. The contract was
awarded to Herbst Const. after due legal advertisement and the project
was completed this spring. The total cost of the job including all costs
such as engineer, legal fiscal, clerical, etc. amounted to $215,164.18.
The cost was then apportioned along those lots receiving benefits solely
on their front foot basis. This was done by dividing the total cost by
the front footage served. The front footage assessment then became $4.00
per lineal foot. In addition to this a number of connections were made.
The total cost of these services resulted in a cost per service of
$106.50 and that is the basis for this hearing, to apprise you of what
these amounts are and how they were determined.
Mr. Knutson cited as an example the difference in the cost of water
between Nounds View and Blaine. Blaine water cost on a 75ft. lot is
$48200 while Mounds View lot on same size is $428.50 including the
service connection1 46,389.45 lineal ft., 286 services, and 278 assessable
services.
This concluded Mr. Knutson's explanation and the Mayor then asked
if there were any questions regarding what had been stated.
