After the resolution is adopted, Mr. <br />Ollendorff recommends that the project be awarded to Southard Construction Co., Inc. <br />for their low bid of $443,503.75. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams declared the public hearing open. <br /> <br />Tom Schranz, 6925 Delmar, said that the petition that they had signed had excluded <br />Delmar as part of the district that was going to have to pay for the improvements. He <br />questioned this based on the letter that he received which told him his estimated <br />assessment. He is here speaking on behalf of the Delmar residents. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer replied that this was also his understanding. The City Attorney had <br />some difficulty with it, but finally decided that it would be appropriate for Delmar to be <br />excluded, since they would receive no benefit. Mr. Ollendorff said that he would have to <br />check with the City Attorney and report back to Council. <br /> <br />Mr. John White, 6960 Cornell, said that he wished to know the basis upon which the <br />determination of his proposed expense was figured. Mr. Ollendorff said that each <br />property owner's assessment was determined by finding the total assessed value of all <br />the properties in the subdivision, first, and then proportioning the cost equally. Mr. <br />White asked why front footage was not used. Mr. Ollendorff said that the petition <br />indicated that the assessed value should be used and the resolution adopted by the <br />Council, several months ago, instructed the determination to be based on assessed <br />value. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer said that this decision made by the several citizen committee's found that <br />the front footage method could be unfair in many situations and that the assessed <br />valuation method would be more equitable. <br /> <br />Mr. White said that this was not acceptable, since he has had frequent conflicts with the <br />County Assessor's office concerning his taxes. He has contested their evaluation many <br /> <br /> <br />
