IX. ISSUES
A. RESOLUTION NO. 2832 CALLS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FORMATION OF LID
347, PR 548, "B" STREET NW
City Engineer Dennis Dowdy introduced Resolution No. 2832 setting a
hearing date of April 21, 1997.
Shelley Coleman Deputy Finance Director described the revised
requirement and need for the LID Reserve Account for this project
estimated at $100,000.00. It was suggested that the preliminary
assessments roll be increased by like amount. After discussion the
Public Works Committee concluded that such an increase would subject
the property owners to an unreasonable additional expense. The
Committee directed Engineering and Finance to establish a policy for
funding of LID guarantee accounts and report back to the Committee.
For this LID the Committee decided that the Finance Director will
determine the appropriate contribution from the General Fund to secure
the guarantee fund. The Committee directed staff to strike the
$100,000.00 for the guarantee fund out of the LID cost.
