6. Resolution accepting Petition (Leonard Road Assessment District)
Public Works Director Perlin reviewed the assessment district process.
Under the 1931 Act proceedings, Council cannot override majority
protest. To remove this requirement, a petition signed by property
owners of 60% of the area in the district must be submitted before
proceedings commence. Right now the city does not have a 60%petition.
Currently 54% of the area is on petitions.
Public discussion ensued as to whether to go forward with the design
in the absence of the resolution. Public Works Director Perlin
indicated that engineering costs to get to construction would be
between $9,000 and $12,000, most probably $10,000.
Options for Council:
1 - Abandon process.
2 - Continue for a few more days to see if anyone else signs up.
3 - Proceed under the 1931 Act.
The Perrys suggested that if the City caps the engineering costs at
$12,000, they would change from opposing to supporting the petition.
If the Perrys change their position, then the petition would be 61.5%.
MONIA/BURGER MOVED TO CAP THE COST OF ENGINEERING OUT OF POCKET COSTS
OF $12,000, WHICH IS TO COVER COSTS UP TO AND THROUGH THE FORMATION OF
