held in City Hall in the Council Chambers on March 27, 1974, at 7:30 P.l1.. He
invited the Council Merr~ers and news media to be in attendance for the meeting.
The City Attorney, John B. Bereiter, pointed out that the Council has received copies
of his memo's dated March 12 and March 14 and a memo from George Schuler dated
March 14, the memo's relate to the two delinquent L.I_D.s (L.I.D. 110 & L.I.D. 129)
of the Auburn School District. Negotiations have been going on between 'the School
District and the Cit:y of Auburn and the City's Finance Director contacted the
State Audi tor's Office in regard to waiving the penal ty arid interest on the two
L.I.D.s because of the long period of no correspondence between t:he City and the
School District. The State Auditor's letter feflected that the City could
compromise and waive t:he penalty and interest charges and co11ect\the principal
on the L.I.D.s (L.I.D. 110 - $1,529.32 and L.I.D. 129 - $1,232.80j.

Councilman Holman stated that since the School Board has already gone along with t:his
matter, he would have t:o vote on it. However, he pointed out that t:hese L.I.D.s had
been discussed by the School Board some years ago. At: t:hat time, it was strongly
felt that because of participation in an L.I.D. for water for North Auburn E1ement:ary
School and participation in an L.I.D. for street purposes on 21st: Street S.E.,
the cost of the L.I.D.s in question was offset by the monies paid to the City for
other improvements (together with property exchanges). Mr. Holman stated that he
had come to the Utility Commit:tee some years ago and it: was agreed t:hat the School
District had participated in a number of L.I.D.s that not only benefitted the
School, but also the City. After that meeting, the School District was. never billed
for L.I.D. 110 or L.I.D. 129.
