<br />Appropriate notice was given of the public hearing and pending Council action, as required by <br />the Eugene Charter and Code. Letters informing property owners of the hearing and notification <br />to property owners of the intent of the City to characterize the assessment as an assessment, not a <br />tax, as required by ORS 305.583(5) were mailed to the property owners. <br /> <br />The Hearings Officer finds that the project is one for which the assessments are for local <br />improvements as set forth in ORS 310.410 because <br /> <br />1. The assessments do not exceed actual costs; <br />2. The assessments are imposed for a capital construction project that provides a <br />specific benefit for a specific property or rectifies a problem caused by a specific <br />property <br />3. The assessments are imposed in a single assessment upon completion of the <br />project; and <br />4. The assessments allow the property owners to elect to pay the assessment with <br />interest over at least ten (10) years. <br /> <br />The Hearings Official also finds that the proposed final assessment, calculated and recommended <br />by the City Engineer is reasonable and consistent with the Eugene Code. The Hearings Official <br />recommends that the Council act in accord with the City Engineer's recommendations, adopting <br />the ordinance prepared for the public hearing, leVYing the assessment as set forth by the City <br />Engineer. <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Milo Mecham <br />Hearings Official <br /> <br />February 29, 2008 <br /> <br />PAVING, CURBS AND GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS, AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS ON RIVER AVENUE <br />FINAL ASSESSMENT Page 4 <br />
