MOTIONt ' Councilwoman. Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 94-3 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Public Comments: ToMy Thompson, 4401 Lupine, 2Conai. Questioned how the assessment amounts were formulated. Finance Director Brown explained the method and the columns as shown on the .assessment list, attached to the resolution. Thompson stated in 1990 the.. cost was estimated at $7,000 for property owner. Thompson added he did not understand how the water and sewer cost was assessed from the size of the lot. Brown stated there are other wsy►s to assess the property, however, the Code provides that unless the Council directs Administration to use another method, the method KENAI CITY JANt1ARY 19, PAGE 4 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1994 stated in the Code must be used. Brown added another method of determining assessments was used only one time, however all the lots were the same size (Inlet Woods). Brown added the method used is the one prescribed bylaw, If .a change in the method is ordered, action on the resolution would have to be postponed until all property owners are informed of the change, etc. Thompson stated he felt another method should be used that is more equitable to finance the project. Thompson added everyone should be charged for water and sewer depending on the size of the property. Each household should pay the game. Everyone that has a lot or house should pay for just that. If another house is built, the property owner should pay again. Ron Robareen, 240 Nevada, Kenai. Stated he was not familiar with to past projects and asked how past projects compared with this project. Roberson stated it seems high. Brown stated he did not compare, projects. Brown added not that many assessed projects have been done. Roberson asked if all grant possibilities have been reviewed. Brown stated the McCollum project was assessed'at 25$ cost. The amounts may have been smaller, but the method was the same. Roberson asked if they will be paying for future expansion costs. Brown stated no, the main interceptor, etc, have been eliminated from this cost. Roberson questioned the difference in value if a lot has a house on it and if it is empty. Brown stated he shared Roberson's concerns. However, the Charter states the City cannot assess more than 25* of the fair market value of the property. If a house is built on that empty lot in two years, the owner will have a real break (on the assessment for that lot). Brown advised to,change the Charter, a vote of the people is required. Monfor stated she lived in Thompson Park for eleven years. Since she has been on Council, it has been a priority to get a feeder line into Thompson Park. Monfor added the assessment list looks expensive, however this may not be the final cost. The bid could come in lower. Brown added the assessment can be paid over a ten-year period at ten percent interest. Roberson asked if all grant avenues been explored. Answer was.yes. I(ENAI CITY JANUARY 190, PAGE S COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1994 eyd Ayer, Porn Street - Asked if the $600,000 removed from the project grant and used for the water department was ever replaced. Brown stated no. Brown added the money was reallocated for the upgrade of the sewer treatment plant. The City requested more grant money from Juneau and has received 75% of the grant money. No more grant money can be used on the project. Carroll Murphy, Eisenhower - Stated his lot is one of the largest lots in Thompson Phrk (9A). Believes the city should accept some of the responsibility for the cost of the project because the people need the water and sewer. The lots were all substandard in size for water and sewer and that's why people are having so much trouble. The City should accept financial responsibility. Murphy referred to two letters (surveys) received a few years ago asking whether property owners were interested in getting sewer and water in Thompson Park. The,letter gave an estimated cost of $131000-14f000. The survey's responses were mostly no. In the second letter, the cost was estimated at half the first cost and the survey responses were favorable. Murphy requested the responses be reviewed. Murphy suggested something else be figured out. Murphy stated he will be paying approximately $16,000 for not using the system. Murphy asked if there will be charges to the -property owners for -- stub outs. Measles explained there will be a hook-up charge for both water and sewer. The hook-up charges will be paid by the. property owners. There will also be the connection from the main to the house which will be the property owners' responsibility. Murphy suggested it would be fairer for one hook-up fee to be divided among everyone equally. Murphy stated he did not see what the size of the land had to do with it. Murphy suggested the surveys be reviewed to see what the big difference in cost was. Jerry Thompson, Bishop Drive, Nikiski - Owner of eight lots in Thompson Park. He,received letters for seven of the lots. Thompson asked why the frontage lots (on the highway).are not getting water and sewer. Kornelis stated those lots will be served in a second phase of the project extending to the 3W. Subdivision. The second phase would not be put in for a number of years. Thompson asked why the lines will not be placed in the easements. Kornelis stated a larger interceptor will be needed. :, ICENAI CITY JANUARY 190, PAGE 6 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1994 Kornelis added some easements have been vacated. Kornelis stated there are other engineering reasons for the design. Kornelis invited Thompson to come to his office to discuss the design with him and the consulting engineer. Thompson stated he is.against the project. Thompson added he wants the whole area served, or not at all. David Wallingford, Eisenhower - Asked where the stub -outs will be. Kornelis stated they will come off the main and will stop at the property line. It is the owners' responsibility to put in the hook-up line. There will be two ditches, one for water and one for sewer. Kornelis added.the City must do an inspection of the hook-up and there is a $100 inspection fee. Martha Ellan Anderson, Primrose - Asked what choices do the property owners have to connect. Brown referred to his letter to the property owners. Brown stated according to the Code, the property must be hooked up.. There is no grace period. The Code does not give one. Anderson stated she would like a choice. Anderson stated she believes it is a part of their historic system to have a choice. There are some reasons why some people will not benefit by not hooking in. And some have good water and sewer now. Brown stated he cannot make the decision of whether they have a choice to tap in or not, Kornelis explained the Code requires everyone to hook in if the structure is within 200 feet of the line. The Code would have to. be changed. At the time this hook-up requirement was put in the Code, it was,a DEC requirement. There is still a DEC requirement that there must be a specific distance between the well and sewer. That is a state law and cannot be changed through the city. Dale Bandahi, 4040 Lupine - Asked if the resolution only deals with setting the assessment district or does it deal with whether or not the project will be continued. Measles explained it allows for the continuation of the project and the assessment district. If the resolution is not passed, the assessment district will cease and the project will be on hold. Sandahl stated he is a strong proponent of the project. Sandahl added he knows and understands the cost of the project. Sandahl stated he is still in favor of the project. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 19, 1994 PAGE 7 Larry Lowenstein, 120 Nevada - Stated there is a disparity of assessments. Does not believe it is fair to other people if a property owner owns two lots with one developed and one not. The undeveloped lot assessments will be less. Lowenstein added he has been against the project from the beginning. Lowenstein added he believes the process has been wrong from the beginning. He doesn't believe the numbers are real. Everyone should pay the same. They will pay the bill for empty lots that will be built on after the water and sewer goes in. Lowenstein added he does not believe anything illegal is being done, but believes it is not fair. Lowenstein suggested another look at the process. Lowenstein stated he does not want to be hooked up to the water. Brian Olson, Lot 21 Block 1 - Stated he attended a meeting at the Eaglets with Mayor Williams and Representative Mike Navarre. The question of what would be an equitable way to pay for the project was discussed. Olson stated it was his t understanding the assessment process would use the Borough assessments. Now they are being told the fair market value will be used. Olson stated he is willing to pay his fair share. His main question was why using fair market value instead of Borough assessments. Brown explained the Charter limitation requires using the fair market value, not the Borough assessments. Brown stated he did not know what was said at that meeting. Smalley stated that meeting was not a city meeting or council meeting. Smalley added it was not a fund raiser either. However, Williams and Navarre got together with people to discuss different matters as well. Brown stated the fair market value column will be reviewed again when the final assessment roll is done. That may be in a year. If more development is done on a lot or the value goes up or down, the fair market value can change. That includes the Charter limitation test. Joe Fisher, 230 Eisenhower - Fisher stated he has concerns of how the equity of the assessed value is computed. Fisher . . stated he believed the major benefactors of the project will be people who own smaller lots. They will be getting a better quality of water and meeting current regulations. Because of his • property size, he will be paying more than the small property owners and getting less benefit for what he will be paying. 4, KENAI CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 19, 1994 PAGE 8 Measles stated it appears the estimated fair market value has been escalated to a greater degree on the smaller lots than the larger lots. Brown agreed. Measles added this reflects they will be receiving a bigger benefit than the large lots. That also increases the amount of their assessment. The other side of equalizing all the lots is the small lots could not pass the 254 of fair market value test that is required that limits the assessment that can be placed on a lot. Measles asked twice if there were any other comments from the public. There were none. Public comments were closed. Monfor questioned if Mr. Murphy owns nine acres and his home is 800 feet from the street, why would he not be exempt from the whole process. Brown stated because it is such a large lot, he was assessed for the first 150 feet from the street. Murphy was not assessed for his entire lot. Murphy cannot be eliminated from the assessment list for the same reason another vacant lot along the street cannot be eliminated. He has to have some assessment because he is adjacent to the improvements. Because, the house is situated further back on the property, Murphy would not have to hook in. Murphy questioned why he should pay for something he will never use. Brown stated there may be other vacant lots that will never use the water and sewer either. Lowenstein - Asked if the assessment will run for a ten-year period to be paid off. Brown explained if that is what Council wants to do. Lowenstein asked if it is, why not look at the whole project in a ten-year program to see who develops the lots and assess them then. Then everyone would get an equitable pay out for what they receive. Measles explained they cannot go back on an assessment into history. Once the final assessment roll is approved at the completion of the project, that's what it has to be. Lowenstein suggested finding another assessor and make them all equal. Lowenstein added even though the process has been the same for many years, what makes it right. It isn't equitable. There is.a problem and it needs to be addressed. Measles stated anything done at this point to change the r procedure will delay the project for at least a year and possibly longer because it would mean changing City codes. Kornelis stated the assessment is set up on the cost of the project. The estimated figures received were determined by a • 6 KENAI CITY JANUARY 19, PAGE 9 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1994 consulting engineer.

When he uses the square footage method in allocating cost and square footage, the calculated assessment ,of $5,848 is figured. That is what he would use (the smaller column). The estimated fair market value could be substantially less, dropping from $301,000 to $23,393. The margin of error is $7,000 and it,makes no difference,,. Bannock stated he will feel comfortable with the.ordinance'if there are assurances that.any one of the property owners have the ability to get the fair market value adjusted if they have substantiation from an appraiser. Brown stated he will be sending out similar information and property owners will have the opportunity to challenge it. No further discussion.
