ITEM:
Conduct Public Hearing on Special Assessments.
Second reading of Ordinance No. 04-10189 levying special assessments for street, drainage and
water improvements for the 2003 special assessment project.
BACKGROUND:
On March 22, 2004 the City Commission received the final breakdown of costs for the 2003 special
assessment project (Liberty Addition). Following review of the project, the City Commission
scheduled a public hearing for April 5, 2004 and instructed the City Clerk to publish a notice of the
public hearing to each property owner in the benefit district.
This project was completed in 2003. A map of the district is attached. A summary of finances for
this project is shown below:
Project Property Owner Share
Liberty Addition, Phase I $118,027.30

The public hearing is intended to receive input from interested parties and particularly property
owners within the special assessment benefit district. The primary issue at this point in the process
is not whether the special assessments should be levied against the properties, but rather that the
final costs have been properly calculated and distributed. A summary of key dates in the process
are as follows:
April 5, 2004
May 10, 2004
July 12, 2004

FISCAL NOTE:

drainage and water improvements for the 2003 Special Assessment Project.
