At a formal assessment <br />hearing, the City has to prove that the benefit to the property will either exceed or is equal to the <br />amount assessed. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that this is a voluntary option for the prospective buyer rather than <br />paying it up front and clarified that this has not been forced on them. <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member King noted that he had spoken with Administrator Statz earlier and asked if this <br />could be split up, what the total amounts would be without the grant for each of the properties. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz noted that the two (2) escrow agreements have no grant associated with them <br />and that the special assessment waivers would be $7,700 and $4,925 of which a discount of <br />$12,625 has been given. He noted that would be multiplied by 2 for a total of $25,250 for all fees <br />associated with both properties. <br /> <br />Council Member Mosher asked if that would be spread over 15 years at 2.5% . <br /> <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />7 <br /> <br />
