3. Adopt the assessment4. Allow the 30 day appeal process5. Have the Courts determine the benefit to thepropertiesAs an alternative process in the Stubbs Bay area a revised process is suggested to limit the City's risk in two ways:a. The expense of undertaking the plans and specifications together with bidding process which is approximately $ 20,000-$30,000 by getting the committment to the project by a substantial majority of the people in the area.b. Limiting the risk of substantial appeal waivers by:1. Minimizing the actual assessment to that as close to the amount allocated as in the Crystal Bay project with the balance being a connection charge. 2. Not ordering the project until the risk of appeals has been quantified. A proposed process to do this are a follows: 1. Project Petition - Send out a letter which contains the petition and a special waiver. 2. Plan and Specifications - Await receipt of upwards of jd%. ~TE alesser amount is received and it appears that few, if any additional ones are coming in that it De reconsidered by Council to determine if they want to go ahead or not as to the degree of risk for the plans and specification expenditure. If the project does not go ahead the City funds that expense. 3. Code Enforcement - As an optional step council could consider further restrictive development controls in the area as to expansion of homes related to both zoning and septic together with giving a deadline for all those with failing systems to go on holding tanks. 4. Bidding - If sufficient numbers are received ordering plans and specifications and going to bids. 5. Assessment Hearing ~ Once bids are received, hold a hearing and the special assessment and adopt the assessment. (Subsequent assessment can be made if additional expenses are incurred.) The vote for ordering the project as there would be at least 35% petition would be a simple majority of the whole Council.
