MAYOR CREPEAU: Mr. Popovich, our fiscal consultant, would you briefly explain the financing. MR. POPOVICH: This improvement was petitioned f0r by 100% of the pr0perty' owners so it wasn't necessary to have the normal feasibility hearing. The total cost of the . improvement ended up at $76,982.62. There are 11 lots inVGlved so 'that figure was divided byll'to bring the per lot assessments as follows: $2,193.36 for .sanitary seweri $538.07 for Water servicei and $4,266.99 for the street and storm sewer, for a total of $6,998.42 a lot. It's really a unit charge.They~re all assessed a like amount since they're part of the subdivision. We have sold no bonds. The matter has been financed internally, but now we have to make the assessment so you.will have to come up with an assessment that the people will pay. We're recounnending it be spread over a 20-year.peri0dwith 8% for the assessment carrying charge. If we had issued bonds, the new law permits you to have 1% over the bond issue interest. For example, Roseville just .sold bonds at 7.63% which means they could charge 8.63%. If you haven't sold any bonds, you're limited to 8%. MAYOR CREPEAU: The meeting is open to comments. MR. Me CLUNG: I have no objections. I am satisfied with the work and I feel that the amount is the correct amount. MAYOR CREPEAU: Very well.
