Legislative History: On April 9, 2002, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a storm sewer improvement taxing district including 14 properties located on or near the pond. On December 8, 2009, a resolution was made by City Council to consider revising the taxing district boundaries for the upcoming 2011 assessment. On July 13, 2010, at a Council Work Session, staff provided information to the Council regarding history; how the district boundaries were established; project funding; and, the recent reluctance of some of the neighbors to continue on with the district. On October 12, 2010, the taxation district was dissolved. A petition was received on September 2, 2011 for creation of a new taxation district and the City Council accepted the petition on November 7, 2011. On March 29, 2012, staff held a neighborhood meeting with affected properties to finalize the feasibility study.
