I I I i I I I I I I I I ! i Chairman Meitman stated that each type of project cannot be addressed An the charter'because of continuous changes in the City; the charter can only provide a skelton to go by. Commissioner Data pointed out if the project is a local improvement, then only those persons being assessed will have something to say about it. Commissioner Sieber stated that administration costs incurred should be addressed in 8.05.02 also. Commissioner Gamec stated that assessments, technically, are cushioned to cover administrative costs. Mr. Darryl Fults - 15410 Barium - Developers are not in agreement with the 60 day wait required; from the day a developer puts up the money for a feasbility study, the meter starts running. Will a notice be put out that the 60 days has started? Commissioner Bauerkemper stated that the public hearing marks the beginning of the 60 days; there are a lot of requirements to be fulfilled by the developer which could be accomplished during that 60 day wait. Mr. Fults pointed out that the developer already has a lot of money invested by the time of the public hearing. Chairman Heitman requested that the 60 day wait issue be discussed later in the evening, that the discussion at this time should be regarding 8.05.02. Mr. Darryl Fults inquired as to how this section would apply to a developer putting in sewer and water. Commissioner Sieber stated that in almost all cases where a developer requests an improvement, it is going to be 100% assessed out anyway. Developers expect to have those improvements paid for out of assessments to the individual parcels. Mr. Fults stated that these are very complex issues and at times the City does participate in the cost of the improvements. Commissioner Sieber suggested the following modification to Section 8.05.02: In the third line, between the words 'assessment' and 'within', add the following phrase: 'excluding minor ordinary expenses incurred in the normal course of City affairs'. The Commission was in agreement with this modification. Commissioner Sieber suggested the following modification to Section 8.05.02: In the fifth line, delete the phrase 'equal to at least 25%' and replace with 'greater than 50%'. Between the words 'in' and 'registered', insert the phrase 'n~her of'. The Commission was in agreement with this modification. Commissioner Sieber stated that he has a suggestion regarding local improvements on city owned property not being subject to petition, but he would like to hear Mr. Schnelle's comments on this section first.
