,-- Com 3/23/77 VI. Pub Hrg Com 3/23/77 VII. Affirm Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to schedule a public hearing for April 11. Motion carried unanimously. . Proposed Code Provisions for Public Improvement Procedures-- Memo and ordinance were distributed March 17, 1977. In addition, some corrections have been distributed to Council members "today". Though it is desired that a public hearing be scheduled for March 28 on the matter, the ordinance would not be submitted for passage until the April 11 Council meeting, after the new Charter goes into effec t. Shirley Swenson, Finance Research Analyst, summarized the changes to be made to the original ordinance draft. It was the original practice that, if a sidewalk or culvert abut- ting a property was to be repaired or reconstructed, a notice was posted with the property owner. It is now proposed that a notice be sent to the owner of the property by first class mail at the owner's address as indicated on the County Assessor's records. Sections 7.156 and 7.157 would be amended to provide that if the sidewalk construction is part of a larger improvement project, notice shall be sent in accordance with the public improvement ordinance. Also, on sidewalk construction required by Council, the owner shall have 20 days from date of notice to obtain a permit and 20 additional days to complete construction. In the public improvement ordinance, the term "standard street" was changed to "maximum assessable width". Also, in the table on page _ five, to make a provision for mixed use and historic use, a category entitled "other" was added, with a factor given of 1.0--10.0 (accord- ing to the most intensive use of the parcel and to the zone listed, in which that use is allowed, which has the lowest factor). On page eight, a housekeeping change provides that the City Engineer should be notified, rather than the Department of Finance. In Sub-section 3, wording was substituted to state that notice shall be sent by certified mail. On page 11, the last sentence was amended to say when the deferral ends the property owner may pay the assessment in full, or may in 20 or fewer semiannual install- ments pay the assessment and interest thereon at the rate then authorized by ORS 223.250 from the date the deferral ends until the assessment is paid in full. On page 12, the sub-section was amended to say that a subdivision or resubdivision, either by a subdivision or major or minor partition, is filed by the owner of the property. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to schedule a public hearing for March 28. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Anti-Fluoridation Petition for Referendum-- Petition, Finance Department memo, and memo from City Manager were distributed to Council. Manager related that the County could hold a special election May 24. which would cost the City about $10,000. Mr. Hoehne, County Elections Department, . ~70 3/28/77 - 20
