<br />assessments will decrease accordingly. However, once the assessments are set, the City cannot <br />increase the assessment costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Melcher again requested clarity that once a property is assessed for an improvement than the <br />property will not be assessed again in the future, namely along Heritage Street. Councilmember <br />Buckbee explained St. Genevieve will have to access water from Centerville Road not Heritage <br />nor LaMotte Drive. Mr. Melcher questioned, "Is zoning is taken into consideration when <br />assessment costs are calculated?" Mr. Nyberg commented zoning is not taken into consideration. <br />The City took into consideration the project cost and the benefit to each property. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted during the Main Street watermain project the City attempted to implement a <br />constant and fair assessment policy. Since the Main Street improvement the city has used this <br />procedure three times including this assessment. <br /> <br />Mr. Melcher commented some Cities make it policy to pay costs related to dead-ends and looping <br />options. Therefore, Mr. Melcher questioned if the city will pay these additional costs. Mr. <br />Nyberg commented there is a $6000 shortfall in the project cost for oversizing where the city will <br />pay the additional cost. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber asked "When the County expands the road will the infrastructure be in the <br />way?" Mr. Nyberg commented usually, it is a matter of who is there first. However, the <br />watermain will be buried 7 - 8 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Melcher asked "What is the process to challenge the assessment cost?" Mr. Nyberg <br />suggested Mr. Melcher contact City Staff and to place any objections in writing to the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Powers moved and it was seconded to close the public hearing at 6:50 p.rn. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buckbee moved and it was seconded to close the Board of Review public hearing <br />at 6: 51 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
