Chairman Thorson stated the purpose of the meeting was to set assessments for District 2018-1.

 

Street Superintendent, Julie Ogden, presented a summary of District 2018-1 which encompasses the paving of N. Oak Street. She explained the portions of the project that the property owners will be assessed and how the assessments were arrived at, based on location from the street.  Property owners would be assessed 50% of those costs as approved by the Board of Trustees at their August 10 meeting.  She explained the process for making payment on the assessments.

 

Thorson called for public input.  Lola Swanson inquired as to the 2018 report showing she would not be assessed for the paving, but on the current outline she is.  Ogden stated that her property would have use of Oak Street to access her property.  Mary and John Vogt questioned why John and Marlene Vogt were being assessed at all as their property sits one property east of the intersection of First and Oak Street.  Ogden reported that with paving a street the Vogt property should increase in value due to having a concrete street nearby as to having a street that is rocked.

 

Following discussion, Lee introduced Resolution 21-17, Levy Special Assessments in District No. 2018-1.  Felty seconded the motion.  Vote:  Wielage-yes, Felty-yes, Lee-yes, Simon-absent, Thorson-yes; motion carried 4-0.
