- A. When work is completed by the City on any construction, reconstruction or repair of a sidewalk, curb or driveway, the amount of the charge will be determined by the City Administrator and reported to the revenue service and program of the City Administrator. The revenue service and program of the City Administrator will calculate a proposed assessment that includes the amount of the improvement charge plus 10 percent of the charge to defray the administrative costs of notice, assessment and lien recording.
- B. The revenue service and program of the City Administrator will prepare a proposed assessment notice for the owner of each property or the owner’s agent of the affected property as shown in the County tax records. The notice will be mailed at least 21 calendar days before the public hearing on the proposed assessment, and the notice will consist of the following information:
