The total project cost indicated in the Feasibility Report was $1,393,200.00.
The Assessment Roll has been prepared consistent with the Feasibility Report, except that the three park parcels were taken off of the assessment roll. The City's Assessment Policy states that the City will not levy assessments against City owned property that is maintained and operated out of the City's General Fund Budget. The park parcels meet this criteria and their removal from the assessment roll does not change the assessments to other parcels, but increases the Municipal State Aid (MSA) contribution. Of the estimated total cost, the amount to be assessed is $128,566.40. The Public Utility Fund will contribute $86,898.60 for water and sewer improvements. MSA contribution is $1,063,732.69.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
