The present <br />Council direction is that this area would also pay itaelf. City staff have investigated the availability of project funding froB other sources, and we believe we have exhaused all avenues with no success. However, if residents are aware of specific sources we would be happy to pursue those leads.M PETITION/APPEAL WAIVER PROCESSIf you are interested in having the sewer project go forward at the cost indicated, please sign the appeal waiver and petition enclosed and return as early as possible. If the project goes ahead, you will have the right to appeal only the amount in excess of the estimate on the form. If the project costs more than that figure, you will be requested to pay the higher amount. However, if the project costs less than the estimate, your cost will be sirailarily reduced.The City Council will proceed to the next step, ordering plans, specifications, and bidding, if at least 70% of the <br />property owners agreed to sign the waiver. The cost of the <br />"plans and specifications" step is approximately $20,000-$30,000. <br />If there is not significant interest in the project going ahead, <br />this step would likely not be undertaken. <br />If you are not interested in the sewer system, it would be <br />helpful, although not mandatory, if you would indicate that by <br />returning the waiver unsigned and indicating that you are not <br />interested. <br />If you are in one of the two areas where a lateral at this <br />time would be optional, but you agree to accept the trunk charge <br />of $6,500, please indicate that by selecting that option on the <br />appendix in your packet. <br />If the project is bid, the City will then hold a public <br />hearing for the special assessment and based on that hearing the <br />Council will decide whether to adopt a special assessment. Note <br />that the City could adopt a supplemental assessment should the <br />project costs come in greater than the original assessment. If <br />the special assessment is adopted, the City will then wait the <br />legally required 30 day appeal period. Based on the extent of <br />appeals, the City Council will then determine whether it is <br />appropriate to order the project in <br />SOME FINAL THOUGHTS
