Mr. Raati 'kka stated that in 1990, there are 3 subdivisions in critical nee,~l of street reconstruction; if the City were to do the project on a 50/50 cost sharing basis with the residents, the cost to the City would be $75,000. Mr. Hartley noted that funds for su'eet.rec0nstmction were not budgeted and recommended that City Council delay amending thestreet maintenance policy to a 50/50 plan until it is known for sure whether Legislature vX;ill;relax the lex,>, limits in 1992. Mr. Hartley did note that if a City participates in ipublic improvements up to 70%, the project would have to still go through the special assCgSment process ibut the City can collect the 50% it would incur outside of the levy limits:~ Mr. Hartley advised that City Council maintain a portion of special assessments in anY! policy tO Protect the policy makers from accusations that an improvement is for political purposes.
