getting to in the next couple of weeks. The majority of the boat storage cleanup is completed, they are working on
brush removal, smoothing out the pads with new material, and reorganizing for new tenants. The final draft for
the FY17 Audit was received that day and would be presented to the council at the May 13th meeting. The FY18

infiltration project, was identifying connections along the slough that need addressed and a PER (preliminary
engineering report) was being written. The office was getting through the inventory from the clinic cleanup.

down it was looking like the sweeper would not be received until mid-May. The city piggy backed on the

include replacing all the ballasts. She meet with Todd Paxton with CISPRI, and they agreed to amend their lease
to include the wash down building to upgrade for laundry and shower amenities in addition to upgrade the public
restrooms and make them ADA compliant. CISPRI would take over the HEA bill and the winterization of the
wash down building, and the city could advertise the building as a public restroom. The Community Cleanup was
May 1st, the city was partnering with SVT and the SOCC. May 1st was an early release day for the school, kids
would meet at the SOCC and end up at the pavilion for food and prizes. The school would have a field trip to the

equipment.

party, the event would be on SVT’s deck.

constructed and extended within the City by the creation of a special improvement district
pursuant to AS 29.63.010 through 29.65.085 or by total contribution, of payment in lieu of
assessment
B. Creation of Assessment Districts. Action to create a special assessment district
may be initiated by the City Council or by a petition signed by the owners of one half in
value of the property to be benefited by the water main extension. A special assessment
district will be created if the Council finds, after hearing, that the main extension is
necessary and of benefit to the properties to be assessed, and, if initiated by petition, that
the petition was signed by an adequate number of qualified persons.
73
C. Amount of Assessment. Each parcel within an assessment district will be
assessed its pro rata share of one hundred percent of the cost of the system actually
installed. The pro rata share shall be based on the benefited area of the property, and all
assessable costs shall be divided on a square foot basis among all properties specially
benefited by the main extension.
D. Payment of Assessments. Special assessments shall be paid in five equal
payments unless the City Council, at the time of levy, establishes payments at other
intervals during the five-year period following assessment. Dates when assessment
payments become due and delinquent will be established by the resolution of the Council
confirming the assessment role. Within thirty days after the date of that resolution, each
customer will be notified in writing of the amount of the assessment, the schedule of
payment and delinquencies and the amount of penalty and interest. Deferred or installment
payments will bear interest on the unpaid balance from the due date of the first payment
until paid in full at the net effective interest rate of the bonds sold to finance the water
improvements. The customer will be notified not less than thirty nor more than sixty days
prior to the due date of the first payment. A penalty, amount to be established by resolution
of the Council at time of confirming the assessment role, will be added to all assessments or
installments not paid when due and the payment due, including penalty shall bear interest
from the due date. If payment is not made when due, SWU may demand payment of the
entire remaining balance, including applicable interest and penalties. (Ord. 80-9 (part),

applying the feasibility criteria of this section consists of all of the property abutting the
proposed main from the end of the existing system through the area or areas desiring
service. The benefited area shall include the property abutting on both sides of the main or
right-of-way in which the main is constructed, to a depth of one hundred fifty feet from the
abutting property line. However, if SWU is prohibited by a governmental agency from
constructing water connections under any portion of a road right-of-way, only those
properties that can actually be served by the main without crossing the road right-of-way
will be included in the benefited area. Areas for which a contribution to SWU in the form of
an assessment or payment in lieu of assessment was made or for which a binding
assessment or agreement to make a payment in lieu of assessment to SWU is outstanding,
will not be included in the benefited area unless a new or improved service will be available
as a result of the extension, or the extension is for the purpose of replacing obsolete
facilities.
B. The benefited area shall contain all area that would logically be included in the
project to complete service loops, intrasystem ties or otherwise provide for an integrated
system. (Ord. 80-9 (part), 1980)
13.44.030 Amortization of costs. A main extension will not be constructed by
SWU unless the gross projected revenues reasonably expected from the benefited area
during the ten year period following construction will be adequate to amortize the costs to
74
be incurred to serve the benefited area. When calculating the amortization period,
undeveloped tracts of land within the benefited area that can be subdivided will be
considered as providing revenue equivalent to a single family dwelling unless the tract
owner agrees to subdivide and accept service to the subdivided lots within two years after
completion of the project. (Ord. 80-9 (part), 1980)
13.44.040 Main extension by total contribution. Property owners desiring
service who cannot obtain the required signatures for the creation of an assessment district
or to satisfy feasibility requirements may have water service extended to their property by
executing a reimbursement agreement with SWU. The agreement will provide for payment
in lieu of assessment by the person or persons desiring the extension equivalent to that
which would have been levied against 100% of the benefited area. Costs in excess of the
standard assessment or payment in lieu of assessment incurred by person making total
contribution will be reimbursed with interest at the bond rate as other property owners
connect to the extension and pay or commit themselves to pay their pro rata portion of the
costs. In addition, persons desiring extension by full contribution shall agree to accept water
service to their property within two years after completion of the project or to pay liquidated
damages as provided in Section 13.18.020(B) of these rules and regulations. (Ord. 80-9
(part), 1980)
13.44.050 Future assessment or contribution. Assessment or commitments for
payments in lieu of assessment will be required for all main extensions installed to serve
properties not wholly included within the area benefited by a previous main extension, and
the provisions of this rule may not be construed as permitting additional main extensions

She discussed that there would be aten-foot utility easement along Chrissy Street on lot 4 and on the property across thestreet and asked if the property owners were okay with the way the note was written.

Commissioner Carluccio wanted to discuss the recommendation that the land from the vacated right-of-way be returned to the lots it was originally taken. When the city reviewed the plat they recommended thatit all go to one side because of the location of the city limit boundary. Splitting the land down the middlewill cause an owner to have 5 feet of property within the city limits while the rest would remain outside ofthe city. Mr. Huff said the parent plat dedicated the whole right-of-way and it will line up correctly.Commissioner Carluccio followed up that item 2 in the staff recommendations wants it to go back to whereoriginally taken but that she doesn’t know where it was originally taken and wants to make sure it will notadversely affect the vacation.
