The proposed assessment rates are: lots on 5th Ave. with existing curbing - $9.00/front ft.; and lots on 10th St. with no existing curbing - $15. OO/front ft. There is a total of 1,334.70 assessable front ft. on 5th Ave., south of 8th St. that results in an assessment of $12,012.30.

Public Hearing - Proiect 96-9. 634 Inca Land Sanitat:y Sewer Service - 8:50-8:51 p.m. Proper explained that Project 96-9 involved a sanitary sewer service replacement at 634 Inca Ln. The existing service was in poor condition and meandered down the boulevard for several hundred feet before connecting into the main. Under this project the old service was abandoned and a new service installed to the main in front of the home. Staff is treating this as a City project at the owner's request for financial reasons. This will allow the owner to paying for the replacement over a ten year period. The City will pay for the cost to install the service stub in the right-of-way and the administration cost for creating the special assessment. It was felt this occurred because the service line may have been damaged by the installation of a storm sewer in 1992. This agreement is beneficial to both the owner and the City. The City cost for this project is $2,000 and will be paid from the 1996 Sewer Department Operating Budget. There were no comments from the audience.
