. . 23 . ~~. POPOVICH: It's impossible to give you the detail. Let me say this, you must be careful in comparing apples with apples and not a grapefruit with a prune. It depends on how a community may do its financing. In Falcon Heights they had a combination of taxes and front foot assessment. I've forgotten what that was - about $9.00 a front foot - but they had a very healthy tax increase of about 15 mills that went along with it. Here, you have a pure $10.00 front foot without any tax increase. If you want to compare this proposal with Falcon Heights, you see, you're trying to compare purely a 100% assessment with a bombination $9. ~c and . the mill rate. I am convinced in Falcon Heights thatwhen you take the ~ill rate increase into consideration it's more than the $10.00 you have here. In Rose~lle their first one ran 16.05 a front foot. The seccnd assessment ran $6.25. The third, that's now under way, is estimated around $7.00 with a milla)e increase also there that I think on the first one was 1 mill, on the second it's 3 and I think about 6 on the third one. Of course, this n:l.llage is something that depends on what your assessed valuation might be. In Roseville the improvements were large. In Shoreview, which incidentally will be holding a hearing on their sanitary sewer improvement program on March 29, it is estimated there that will run $10.50 a front foot. This is varied from a high, for example, of New Hope where they put in sewer that ran as high as $13.00 a front foot all the way down to $6.00 or $6.50 a front foot. It varies - one reason is the construction situation you run into - the combination of financing that you do - but this is in line with other munic~lities that are 100% special assessment as this is.
