City Council Meeting, February 26, 1997 Nyberg explained the assessment is determined from the front footage. The city can not assess a property more than an increase of the property's value. Ruben Lentz of Reel Manufacturing asked if this interconnect benefits the whole city why isn't the whole city assessed? Nyberg explained the whole city has been contributing to the water fund which will be used on this project, the City's cost is $98,300. Nyberg explained these assessments are not set in stone. Carpenter asked how are the properties in the flood zone benefited? Nyberg explained the property owners can comply with the required permits and bring the city the land elevations. The city would determine the minimal elevations then fill can be brought in. Herman Strehlow asked since the ditch runs through his property, how will the western property benefit? Nyberg explained this is something the city will have to consider. Mr. Strehlow asked since his property is identified agriculture would he still have to hook up? Nyberg said no, not if its agriculture. Carpenter commented being assessed for water and sewer is one thing but also to remove the current system would be a hardship.
