The Kenai Peninsula- Oilers would like to take this
means to advise youthat they are protesting the assess-
merit on parcel number. 0'4901051. We do not feel that this
assessment is fair for the following reasons.
1. The Kenaipeninsula Oilers is a non-profit
organization and should not be treated the same as other
property owners, '
2. The City of Kenai'is"~he actual owner of the
above property and the property'would go back to the
City if the Oilers','were to disb~nd~..'This includes all
improvements that the oilers have made..
3. The Peninsula O'ilers was'never sent any notice
of public hearings until after the pavingwas completed.
It would appear that the Oilers were added to this list
as-an afterthought..:..:~ ..... .
4. The Peninsulal. Oilers have..discusse4.this assess-
ment with the City Manager and some of 'the Council Members
and we were informed:.that we should not have to pay the
paving assessment...
I would like .to Thank you for your help with this
matter and I 'would .be' glad to answer any questions that
you may have.

At the Hatch 7, 1990, Council meeting, yoU will consider four resolutions that
adopt, final assessment rolls. Procedures for these actions are set out in KMC
16.10.130 and 16.10.140.
You will note 'that each resolution calls fo~ lump sum payments, due May 15,
1990, and delinquent June 15, 1990. This payment method was suggested by the
administration at the beginning of the assessment process a year ago.
Summary information follows:
TOTAL NUMBER
ASSESSED OF AVERAGE
c,OST,S_. PARCELS ASSESSMENTS
Candlelight $ 41,943 135 $ 311
Lawton 7,996 12 666*
E. Aliak 21,973 71 309
VIP 31t 833 113 282
The average assessment is about $300. *(Note that the Lawton. assessment_ is.'
0ve~s'tated;-$4,246-of the--$7-,996'aSSessment-'is on-City of Kenai land. If we.
subtract the City assessment,, the-average assessment-is only $341,)- Thereare'-
only three non-government assessments that exceed $1,000.
An installment payment schedule would result in substantial administrative
costs, for very little benefit. Computer programs 'would need to be written,.
records would need to be manually established for-331 accounts, and billing,'
Payment, and delinquent billing would occur over a designated number of years.
I believe the billing and collection costs would exceed the benefit to the
taxpayers.
I advise against consideration of allowing a multiPle payment schedule for
selected accounts, such as for Individuals who own several properties on the..
assessment ~oll(s). Ownership changes over time. Preferential treatment based
upon ownership will complicate billing and cause interpretation problems when
ownership changes.

If for some reason I lose this argument, and CoUncil decides to allow 'multiple
payment schedules, each resolution should be ~mended in Section 3 as follows:
~C~o~,'3: payments shall be f£xed over a - year period,
with annual payments 'due'beginning April 1', 1991~-'Payments shall
be delinquent if not received by May 1, of each year. Annual
payments shall be in equal' installments, including 10.0% annual
interest. Delinquent installments will be charged a penalty of
ten' (10%).percent-on the entire ~nstallment, along with additional
interest accruing at the .rate of 10.0% per year on the principal
portion.of the installment.
