Such letter is attached to these minutes on page 13. George Rovegno of 2010 Shoreline Drive asked who bears the debt of the deferred assessments. Mayor Butler replied the general tax payer. One lady stated that according to the appraisals that were done, there are still going to be a lot of people coming below that appraised valuation. She stated that in order for the City to avoid lawsuits, the City is going to have to pick up part of the unit cost. She stated that the option to assess the project 50-50, is still going to be too much for each individual to pay. She asked the Council to consider 30-70 option.
