To Whom It May Concern;

Government Lot 123, Section

Just

Government Lot 104, Section 34
like we are being charged unjustly
because Lot 123 is adjacent to the paving.
We would like to be put on the agenda for the March 7, 1990

ASSESSMENTS
At the March 7, 1990, Council meeting, you will consider four resolutions that
adopt'final assessment rolls. Procedures for these actions are set out in KNC
15.10.130 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:
TOTAL NUMBER
ASSESSED OF AVERAGE
COSTS ..... pARCELS ASSESS.MENTS
Candlelight $ 41'943 135 $ 311
Lawton 7,996 12 666*
E. Aliak 21,973 71 ' 309
-The average, assessment is.about-S300. ,(Note.thatthe Lawton aSsessment_is ....
overstated~ $4,246 of the $7,996-assessment is on City of Kenat land. If we
'subtraCt the"CttyaSsessment,-theaverage assessment is only-$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,
pa~ment,, 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 indtviduals-.Who own several prOPerties on. the'
assessment..roll(S). Ownership changes over time. Preferential treatment'based
· . upon ownership will complicate billing and. cause interPretati°n problems when
'ownership changes.

If for some reason ! lose this argument, and Council decides to allow multiple
pal~ent-schedules,.each, resolution should be amended in Section 3 as follows:
· section 3= paYments shall be fixed.over a - year'period,.
with annual payments due beginning April l, 1991T'T.~Payments shall
be delinquent 'if not received.by May 1,.'of each year.. Annual
payments shall be In equal installments, ~ncluding 10.0% annual .....
interest.. Delinquent ~nstallments will be charged, a.penait¥ of
ten..('lO%) percent on.the entire installment, along-with additional
~nterest accruing at the rate of lO.O~ Per year on the principal
portion of the ~nstallment.
