ASSESSMENTS
At the March 7, 1990, Counoil 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 for 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=

The. average-assessment..is about .$300. *(Note.that _the..Lawton assessment, is
overstated; $4,246 of the $7,996 assessment is on City of Kenat land. If we
subtract'the'Cfty, assessment,- the average assessment'fsonly $341.) There are-
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 o£.years.
X b~lieve the billing and collection costs would exceed, the beneflt to the
taxpayers. '"
I advise against consideration of allowing a mUltiple payment SChedule for
selected accounts, such as £or.tndtviduals who own several properties on the
assessment roll(s). Ownership changes over time. Preferential treatment based
up0n°~nership will complicate billing and Cause interprets[ion problems when
ownership changes·
