CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />II. PUBLIC HEARING(S) <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber opened the public hearing at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />1.Re-Assessment (Backage Road/Commerce Drive) <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser, gave a brief presentation of the history on the assessment for the <br />improvement of the Backage Road/Commerce Drive. Mr. Glaser stated that the Sheehy <br />property was originally special assessed for $379,000 in June of 2009. In November <br />2010, Sheehy as part of their appeal, claimed a “special benefit” in the amount of <br />$164,000 which they paid the City in December, 2010. February, 2011, the District <br />Court Decision in regards to the “Special Benefit” was not to exceed $241,000. In <br />March, 2012, this was brought to the Court of Appeals Special Benefit which modified <br />the assessment to $249,000. In February, 2013, the reassessment of the special benefit <br />is to take place. Mr. Glaser stated that it was the Court’s Opinion – Finding of Fact – <br />that the special benefit to the Sheehy Property from the Backage Road Project was <br />$249,000. This special benefit of an assessment is “measured by the increase in market <br />value of the land owing to the improvement, market value after the public improvements <br />minus market value before the public improvements and the difference equals Special <br />Benefits.” Mr. Glaser also stated that in the resolution adopting the special assessments <br />in June of 2009 included the interest rate, defined the number of years for payback, <br />explained how to make payments, date for first installment payment, created an <br />Assessment Roll, defined each parcel which benefited from the improvements, identified <br /> <br />
