<br />possibility of an appeal to tax court. Mr. Lyle and the hearings official explained that this <br />provision was included as a response to Ballot Measure 5. It involved questions about <br />the nature of the assessment and how it related to property taxes, and did not concern the <br />separate right of remonstrance. Mr. Alvis questioned the use of the term "specially <br />benefited" in the latter. He felt that none of the properties in the local improvement <br />district were specially benefited, even though they were adjacent to Terry Street. City <br />Engineer Les Lyle responded that the term specially benefited was a term commonly <br />used in assessment law. The Eugene Code uses the term, but it also includes a more <br />specific requirement that properties that abut a street that is being approved should be <br />assessed. <br /> <br />After this general discussion, the hearing concluded at 7: 10 p.m. <br />
