Member DeBenedet noted that the rest of the City picked up the remaining 75% of the costs; and that this Policy applied to all residential properties, whether they were actually benefitting from an improvement at that time or not. Member DeBenedet opined that the entire community benefited from well-maintained streets. At the request of Chair Vanderwall, Ms. Bloom confirmed that the Assessment Policy was based on a standard residential street, whether a road was an MSA road, such as Victoria Street, with everyone assessed on a thirty-two foot(32') width and 7-ton strength; artificially lowering the cost even when roads, such as Victoria Street, are constructed to a 10-ton standard. 3.
