MEMO T0: Kenai City Council
FROM: Charles A. Brown
SUBJECT: Assessments/Resolution ~ 84-129
DATE: October 12, 1984
have drafted the above resolution to reflect the decisions that came
~om last Tuesday's worksession. I think it's important that Council
ealize what this says. Assuming you adopt and follow this policy it
sans that:
1) Only gravel road improvements (along with things like public
buildings) will be done without assessment.
2) The people must pay SOX of an~- paving or water and sewer
improvement, assuming it's on the list. If it's not on the
list, they'll pay 100X. Also, if its on the list for water
and sewer only, and they want any road work, they'll pay 100X
of the read work.
3) If Council desires to perform work on the CID list (let's say
pave a road, or lay a water line) and we don't get a proper
petition from the property owners, you can't do it. This
would be the case for both commercial and residential
property.
4) If a project (let's say a waterline - how about to a car
dealership) is not on your list, you can't do_it, unless
we have a 100X assessment.
ve discussed this with many City employees. My recommendation to
ou is to fail this resolution. Don't set a formal policy.
