. MR. POPOVICH: You don't need it first. You're leverage is - if he doesn't agree with you, you don't order the plans and specs to be advertised. Obviously, if the development agreement was done now - assuming the improvement went ahead - you'd know what it was. I don't know what else you want to put in a development agreement because there are a number of things that do go into it that your counsel recommends. But if we ordered the improvement, then he started on plans and specs to call for bids, we wouldn't have to approve the plans and call for the bids - because 'that's additional cost - until that development agreement is in place. MAYOR WOODBURN: In this case, ordering the improvement is similar to ordering the plans and specifications. In this type of situation, a possible assessment situation, we have different terminology. MR. on this? normally tioned. POPOVICH: Mayor, may I ask - do we have a petition The reason I ask, I notice Maurice just left and you need four votes and then three if it's 35% peti- MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: We did petition MR. POPOVICH: I want the record to show - Mr. Laughing- house, who controls more than 35% of the affected property - your company - petitioned for it. MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: Yes sir. MAYOR WOODBURN: Is it 35%? MR. POPOVICH: 35% of the affected property within the improvement. Obviously, there's more land than just his, but it's obvious, when you look at his addition compared to the others, that's more than 35%. That permits you to go ahead with three votes out of'five instead of four out of five. MAYOR WOODBURN: Any questions from the Council? I have another question or two of Mr. Popovich. You indicated that assessments can proceed for various years. Can they be done in various manners on different parcels - lots, for instance, within an improvement, and linear footage without? . MR. POPOVICH: Yes. So long as you arrive at what you feel is the increased market value due to the benefits. We come back to that old rule again. Formulas are only a way to get at the benefit. You can use any kind of a formula or approach, so long as the property is benefitted accordingly. MAYOR WOODBURN: I don't,think I have any more questions. Mr. Popovich and Mr. Christoffersen have nothing, more to add, I gather, at this point. We have at.this point our options - we can continue this for another meeting, we can order the improvement, or we can say no to the whole project. 13
