amount to be collected will be based on the fee in place at the time of final assessment. This charge is separate and distinct from the calculations of the special assessment. Public Notice Property owners who will bear the cost for the proposed improvements were notified of the planned June 4, 1997 public hearing with the hearings official and the City Council session to establish the LID through a notice published in The Register-Guard on May 15, 1997, well in advance of the minimum ten (10) days stipulated in EC 7.165. Letters informing property owners of the hearing and anticipated Council action date and notification to property owners of the intent of the City to characterize the sewer assessment as an assessment, not a tax, as required by ORS 305.583(5) were mailed on May 19, 1997 (see Exhibit "F"). . As a result of the project costs being higher than estimated, staff chose to cancel the June 4 hearing and reschedule for June 12, 1997. Staff sent a second letter notifying the property owners of a new hearing date. This letter was mailed May 30, 1997, well in advance of the minimum ten (10) day stipulated in EC 7.165 (see Exhibit "G"). The delay has allowed staff to communicate to property owners the new costs and to reconfirm which properties continue to wish to be included in the LID. Local Improvement District (LID) Staff is recommending that an LID be formed to assess all properties having signed an annexation agreement. The LID will include those properties having signed annexation agreements and that can be served by the proposed sanitary sewer in Prairie Road to be constructed this year. Assessments The source of funding for this project is from direct assessments against those properties that will be included in the LID and through 8-inch equivalent assessments from those properties not included in the LID that will ultimately receive service from these improvements. Per EC 7.175(2)(b)5c, the costs for the project will be apportioned on a per-square-foot basis for the lateral sewer, and on a per-each basis for the service connection points.(service lines). All properties having not signed an annexation agreement will be included in the computation of assessable costs but will not be included in the LID, assessed or receive service until an annexation agreement is executed per the "Annexation and Urban Services Agreement" (see attached agreement Exhibit "A"). The City of Eugene will bear the assessable costs for those properties not included in the LID through the sewer fund until such properties are annexed and request service. At that time, an equivalent assessment will be collected per EC 6.476. Page 3
