Assessment Agreement <br /> <br />Mayor Love stated that the Widgeon Circle proposed project is a group and questioned whether Council <br />could consider under the existing policy. Council Member Taylor questioned whether amounts being <br />considered in the new policy would affect the homeowners if action was taken this evening on their <br />agreement/project. Administrator Statz stated there would be no difference as the old policy and new <br />policy discuss a cap of $5,000/parcel. He also stated that previous discussion regarding the neighbor that <br />completed work without permits was charged with a crime. Mayor Love asked Administrator Statz if he <br />would deem these two properties unusable and he stated yes. However, Council Member Mosher stated <br />from the rear of the home to the lot line. Administrator Statz stated that the homeowner stated that the <br />only project in the packet is for only the areas that are unusable not the entire yard and he has completed <br />an entire project excluding this area. He stated that he would prefer that no action be taken on any of the <br />project at this time until the policy is approved. <br /> <br />Council Member Koski stated that he has faith in City Staff who are approving these projects. Mayor <br />Love stated that he would be comfortable approving these projects from the 2013 Policy. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Taylor, seconded by Council Member Mosher to Table the Widgeon <br />Circle Backyard Drainage Project.
