The letters of property owners and further remarks of staff are attached. A listing is provided as Attachment "B" . As noted, there have been a few circumstances in which the determination of the Hearings Ufficial and recommendation to the City Council is different than originally proposed by City Staff. If adopted by the City Council, the proposed assessments for several properties will need to be re-calculated. The Hearings Gfficial has been advised by staff that Exhibit "A" contains those adjustments. However, the assessments for all the rest of the properties would remain the same. It is the finding of the Hearings Gff~cial that the assessment process proposed and developed by City Staff is consistent with the Eugene City Cade and fairly and appropriately assesses properties in the three improvement districts for the sanitary sewers.
