there to form an LID.

LID.

reasons why.

PUBLIC HEARING - HOMESTEAD ROAD
Councilwoman Hopkins asked how many were present in favor
of the LID. Bruce Richman was the only owner present in
favor of the Lid. Mr. Richman stated that he only needed
the water services.
Mayor Cotant suggested putting only the water line down
Homestead Road and letting the people buying the lots
decide for themselves if they want the sewer. The property
owners would buy the materials for the water line and the
City would lay the line.
Public Works Director Steve Smart was asked what the cost
of the materials for the water line would cost. Steve
estimated them at $8.00 a foot.
Mayor Cotant asked Attorney Winmill if the City could create
an LID for the water line only. Attorney Winmill said the City could
go that direction but the limited cost of the water line may not
justify the expense of the LID procedure. Attorney Winmill also noted
that the City could purchase the Bonds and amortize them over ten years
at a low rate of interest.
Mayor Cotant said the City would research this possiblity and
let the people know.
