The Notice of Assessment Hearing has been published in the official newspaper and mailed to the owners of each parcel described in the assessment roll at least two weeks prior to the hearing. As part of the assessment hearing, staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation identifying the improvements, costs and detail payment options. Staff recommends the Mayor and Council hold the hearing on proposed assessment, hear all comments for those requesting to be heard, and consider approval of the resolution adopting assessments for the 121st Street North and Acres of Bald Eagle Utility and Street Improvements after closing the hearing. Staff has prepared a resolution adopting the assessments for the 121st Street North and Acres of Bald Eagle Utility and Street Improvements Project in accordance with the requirement of state statutes Chapter 429 for assessments to benefitting properties.
