Present at the hearing representing the City of Eugene was Acting City Engineer Jeff Lankston. Acting City Engineer Jeff Lankston began by providing a brief description of the project and its history. The project was initiated on September 11,1995. The project involved the construction of 550 feet of sewers. Mr. Lankston explained that seventy nine and one half percent of the cost of construction is to be attributed to the property owners. The project consists of the construction of lateral lines, which are assessed at twenty six cents per square foot of the area of assessed property, and the construction of service lines, which are assessed at $1,045.77 each. The remainder of the construction costs are to be paid by the city. After Mr. Lankston finished his description of the project, Larry Crane, a property owner within the local improvement district, asked several questions. Mr. Crane's first question concerned the date when the public would be required to connect to the sewer, Mr. Lankston explained that notice of connection letters would be sent, providing the actual date, which would be 18 months from the date of the notice. Mr. Crane asked for an explanation of the System Development Charge SDC}. Mr. Crane was concerned because he did not believe that there had been a previous notice of the SDC. Mr. Lankston explained that the purpose of the SDC is to allow the city to recover a proportional share of the cost of prior construction of the sewer system. The SDC is composed of charges to recover a share of the cost of the local collector system and charges to recover the appropriate share of the cost of the regional treatment system. Mr. Crane also asked about financing options. Acting City Engineer Jeff Lankston explained that the City offers several financing options, in addition to the standard financing program that provides low interest ten year financing. Mr. Lankston offered to send Mr. Crane a complete description of the city's financing options. Mr. Crane and his family had no further questions, and were the only members of the public attending the hearing. Therefore, the hearing ended at approximately b:30 p.m.
