RESOLUTION NO. 2659, TO TERMINATE STREET DELAY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF AUBURN AND THOSE CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG 37TH STREET SE BETWEEN "A" STREET SE AND "M" STREET SE ASSOCIATED WITH ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 502, LID 341 Finance Director Victor Thompson asked for Committee approval to file the final assessment roll for collection and proceed to issue bonds for the unpaid assessments despite the protests on the Magnuson and Olsen assessments. The alternative would be to wait for resolution of the protests with possible adjustment to the final assessment role, which was not recommended as a practical solution. Thompson also pointed out that the City would have to guarantee payment to the bond purchasers of the Magnuson and OIsen assessments if the protests are not resolved before the bond sale. The Committee agreed on this course of action and agreed to recommend such payment guarantee to the Council in connection with the Bond Ordinance. REF. H:NENGINEER~E95~E95-833A
