City *Manager Townsend reminded the Council of a previous discussion of modifying ------- severe/ assessment -policies of the City and that discussion at that time had involved the passibility of changing the maximum assessments from $14.25 to $19.50 on commercial property,°ram 75e to $1.00 on sidewalks, and $4.25 to 86.50 per linear foot for curb, gutter and pavement on residential properties. Mr. Townsend stated that the discussion had been postponed but that some of the Cauncil had commented that the increase should be greater; had also discussed the matter as to hoe to handle the situation if some of the petitions received by the City were included in the 1977 and the 1972 bond election, pointing out that these petitions that have been circulated sines 1977 up until a few mouths ago indicated that the maximum aseasaments wau' $4.75 per linear foot plus 754 square font for sidewalks. Mr. Townsend further stated that he has asked Mt. James K. Lantos, Director of Engineering and Physical Development, to explain what the difference would be on Hendricks Street en assessments of 903 of all the casts which is the maximum assessment authorized by law; the assessment rates according to the present ordinance; and those in the proposed ordinance that was previously discussed. Idr. Lentos explained the transparency on Hendricks Street assessments, stating that the first column indicates assessments to be 902 of all costs based an water, sewer and portion of street pavement, and on which some of the property owners had agreed; the second column indicates what the assessment will be for each one of the properties based an the present ordinance, noting tbet the chart does not show water and sewer assessments an sone of the properties involved primarily because they do have that service available; added that sanitary sewer and water allows a 903 cost; and *** The amount of the assessment rate .and thedate of hearing wee changed - See page 13 that the third column is basad on the prepesed changes in the ordinance of $15.50 per linear foot assessment and the same rate for the water and sanitary sewer. Mr. Lantos explained that the total grojr t Bost is $160,514.77; total assessment costs under the present ordinance is $62,296_30; and that under the proposed ordinance, it would he $74,555. City M€acag`r Townsend reeanded the Council that during the previous discussion in teras of shat assesaweats should be passed on to the owners, the Council did, in fact, note not to proceed with 90Z assessment. Council Member Zersky questioned whether the ordinance had been changed to reflect the increase. City Manager Townsend clarified that the possibility of changing the ordinance had been discussed bark in late duly. Council Herber Zarsky expressed the opinion that he does not feel this should be made retroactive. City Manager Townsend pointed out that this is not a matter of waking it retro- active, that the item on the agenda is to call a paving assessment hearing on September 24, and that during that bearing, the Council needs to decide how much enhancement there is to property that fronts as Hendricks Street_ He further, pointed out that all the City has done so far is take bids on the project, but that the Staff needs to know which rates to list in the assessment notices -- they cen go out according to the new ordinance which has not been adopted, or it tan go out under the existing ordinance. Council Member Zarsky moved that the assessment notices be sent out to the property owners showing the rates under the existing ordinance, seconded by Council Member Best. Mr. Lontos mentioned that he had conducted an analysis of ether cities' assessment rates and that it appears that this City's assessment rates are considerably lower. Council Member David Diaz indicated he is in favor of increasing the assessment Council Member Zarsky recommended that 'he City not increase the ratio of payments until such time as the ordinance is actually in effect. He also suggested that those that have made a request and petitioned the Council be assessed by the present ordinance and those that have not can be assessed the higher rates. Comewil limnber pest inquired bew samy of the petitions were out. Mr. lentos replied that the remainder of the 1977.bond project petitions were . Camel]. Member lest stated that since it would require a nets bond project for tbie-Cityi to comply with Mr. Zaraky's suggestion, in his opinion. he felt it would be, best for the City to proceed with the present ordinance until such times a new bond issue le approved. Mr. Lootoe pointed out that the new petitions did not list any rates. Council Bamber Zarsky suggested that the ordinance be amended but that the Chit should bold to that particular charge on the petitions that are already oat. Council Member Mar then suggested making the amendment to the ordinance on too different assessment rates specifying an effective date for each one. City Manager Townsend explained that this woold present a problem in that the City 'mild be receiving petitinos with a higher rate one week than the next, making Council Member Diaz inquired when the City could implement an increase on assessments. 'City Manager Townsend explained that the simplest time would be that of a bond election. - Mr. Lantos mentioned that the commercial rate is not ever listed in the petition Council MMember Dunphy asked if the majority of the metropolitan cities were paying the majority rate according to the State rate. Mr. Lentos replied that Houston's assessment rates were from $15 to $18 per linear foot, Austin — 612.75; Ft. 'Worth — $15.50; and Dallas — $36; all theme for streets from 26' to 30' wide an residential and added that they were using the allowable by State law. Council Member Zareky stated that he would like to withdraw his original motion because of lbs. Lentos' =went that there was not any representation on commercial properties on any of the City's bond issues; therefore, the City would not be violating its trust in charging the higher rate on commercial property. lir. Zarsky then moved that the City go along with figures already established for the new ordinance: It was seconded by Council Member Dunphy. l€egelur Ceueett '`ttetioe S : etember 3. 19d0 Faege /3 1layor 3otes called for discussion en the motion.
