Item 3: Ordinance Levying Assessments for Debrick Road

Home Browse Search

Assessment financing, a 10-year payment plan through the City, is available to all property owners within the improvement district as identified by Eugene Code, Chapter 7. Of the 10 properties in the LID, three property owners qualify for a subsidy under the low-to-moderate income subsidy program. Two property owners qualify for the moderate subsidy level and one owner for very low subsidy. This City-funded program applies only to owner-occupied residential properties in the LID. The total cost for the low-income subsidies is $13,902.17, and is funded from the Street Subsidy Fund. RELATED CITY POLICIES The assessment costs will be distributed as outlined in the council-adopted Hearing Official’s Findings and Recommendations and Resolution forming the LID. COUNCIL OPTIONS Special assessment provisions adopted as part of an LID resolution cannot be modified during the final assessment process if they result in increased costs to the property owners. The purpose of the final assessment hearing is to review the calculations to ensure conformance with the requirements stated in the LID resolution and the Eugene Code. Per Section 7.187, the City Council can take the following actions: 1. Approve the Findings and Recommendations of the Hearings Official of April 24, 2006 and adopt the ordinance levying assessments; 2. After review of the proposed assessment, and a determination that the assessments should be modified, direct staff to publish a new notice and hold another public hearing. New findings would then be prepared for City Council adoption. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends approval of the Findings and Recommendations of the Hearings Official and adoption of the ordinance levying assessments. SUGGESTED MOTIONS Move to approve the Findings and Recommendations of the Hearings Official of April 24, 2006.
