Attorney Fi~la <br />said he expects to have mc~e def.i~ite information within a <br />week, but ant~cipates no more than $17iC0C for acquisition <br />of la~~. Filla added that he is prese~tly negotiating ~ith <br />Mr. Reiling to possi~ly allow Reiling to reconfigure the <br />pond area at some later time as long as it provides the same <br />amount of water storage. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks asked to ~hat exteLt the Reiling <br />prope~ty is ~enefitted from this project and w~ethel th~ <br />pipe installation will solve the drainage problems on the <br />Reili.ng property.

What <br />constitutes "overhead" costs and why are overhead costs such <br />a large percentage? The residents in this area should have <br />had the "benefit" of proper drainage when we moved into ou:: <br />homes, so I question whether we can be assessed as <br />n~ene:itting" nOT..J. <br /> <br />Co~nc~lmexber Malone exrlained the letter referring to <br />$140,000 simply relayed the worst possibl~ scenario. Maure~ <br />explained the City's assessment manual 3110ws overhead costs <br />of u~ to 32% of construction costs and detailed what ca~ be <br />incl~ded as overhead. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Mahowald said that in this particular ~aser <br />~rtual overhead costs ~ill be much higher than the 32% due <br />to the large amount of staff, engineering and legal time <br />involved, but the assessment policy limits what amount ca~ <br />be assessed. <br />
