This would be the only assessment to be spread on abutting properties on the entire County Road 15 project. The Council should decide; a.) to go ahead with the project, b.) what amount should be financed through special assessments, c.) how the balance should be financed either through MSA or other funds. Public Comments - Sandy Rauschendorfer, 3895 Shoreline Drive asked why the costs are not taken out of the General Fund. • Mayor Grabek stated that the lighting improvement will be the only portion of the County Road 15 project assessed to the abutting property owners. 1
