PUBLIC HEARINGS AND COUNCIL ACTION ON ORDINANCES RELATING THERETO: MAYOR HENDLER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR LID NO. 120: Mr. Dennis Wright, City Engineer, stated the Hearing had been publicized according to State Law and all affected property owners notified. There were no written communications. LID No. 120 is construction of Road 34 between Henry and Court Street and is nearly complete. While minor construction items remain, the final costs of the project have been determined, and the final assessments have been mailed to the property owners. The final assessment roll amount was $79,778.72, which was approximately 10.8% under the preliminary assessment roll of $89,496.00. A portion of the underrun was due to the fact that one property owner placed curb, gutter, and sidewalk prior to construction of the LID. Most property owners, therefore, saw a real savings of approximately 9.6% from their preliminary assessed amount. The exception to this would be at the Heidi Haus, where the property owner requested an additional driveway be added after the start of construction, and also requested that one of his driveways be modified. That assessment actually increased approximately $800 over the preliminary assessment. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Hendler for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed.
