MAYOR LINEBARGER: I'd like to ask Mr. popovich, with costs unpredictable, what's the shortest period you could assess so you could re-look at it? MR. POPOVICH: You could do it every year. Have an assess- ment hearing each fall to determine what your costs would be for the following year and hold an assessment hearing and assess it. It's like a service charge thing that you'd be doing it. MR. GEORGE REILING, 661 Heinel Drive: I'm confused. It says here the cost of the improvement is approximately $23,730. How does that get paid? It says assessed to the property owners. MR. HONCHELL: What we have to do when we publish anything in the paper is publish the highest of all possible alternatives because by law we can take something less and we cannot take anything greater so we pUblish the highest possible cost, and Alternative 2 which says we would give no credit to this area to be on a par with others - just charge the 14 lights (inaudible) that does corne to $23,000. MR. REILING: It does not cost $23,000 to run the line across Heinel Drive. Northern States Power is charging or not for this? MR. HONCHELL: If there were 14 lights in there, we have to pay $67.80 per year. MR. REILING: So you're adding all those meter readings for 20 years. MR. HONCHELL: This is set up on the assessment - it would be a 20 year assessment. MR. REILING: Are you adding something for the running of the line? Is there something in there for running the line? MR. HONCHELL: There is no capital outlay we have to make. MR. REILING: It appeared you were going to assess $23,000. MAYOR LINEBARGER: If there were 14 lights and not II, and if we were not to give any credit for what we're willing to do in any other part of the system, but in giving a credit for what we would do on a lesser system, and reducing the number of lights, that's where the $10 came from. That's by reducing the lights by 3. 7
