Mayor Gamec indicated Mr. Look's concern that this assessment be included in the general fund <br />budget has been noted. <br /> <br />Mr. Look stated his only other option would be to change the charter. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski indicated the City received a letter from Jennifer Asmussen, 15029 <br />Iqelium Street NW regarding Project 05-02. He explained this is a unique area that does not have <br />sewer and water, but is divided into sewer and water sized lots. Ms. Asmussen makes the <br />~bllowing points: <br /> [tern No. I: Ms. Asmussen states there are still holes in the road that have not been <br /> repaired. He stated he personally inspected the street this afternoon, and the only hole he <br /> ~'ound was two inches wide by six inches long by V2 inch deep. This is the only defect he <br /> could find in the sealcoat. <br /> [tern Nos. 2 and 3: He will not comment on these items unless, requested by the Council. <br /> [tern No. 4: Ms. Asmussen indicates that some of the residents in the subdivision have <br /> combined their lots and made the lot line disappear, so where some had three lots they <br /> now have two lots. He explained the lot line did not disappear; these property owners did <br /> a lot combination with an assigned tax number. As a result, there are two residents in the <br /> subdivision that are only being assessed for two units, and the remaining six are being <br /> assessed for three units. He was unaware of this until it was brought to his attention in <br /> this letter. One possible remedy would be to double assess the lots that have been <br /> combined, which would likely be more equitable. 'This would require a notification to. <br /> these property owners that the assessment would be double, as they were notified of the <br /> single assessment amount. <br /> <br />,Mayor Gamec commented it had been stated if the lots were combined there..would only be one <br />assessment, as they are calculated by the square footage. He directed staff to inform Ms. <br />Asmussen about the reason for the lot combinations and that she would be able to complete a <br />combination for the case of future assessments. He indicated the letter from Ms. Asmussen will <br />be entered into the record, marked "Exhibit A". <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
