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

borough’s street sign order - 15 street signs and four stops signs were received the previous week for a third of the

price. Letters would need to be placed on the signs by the city themselves. Layla was getting an idea of what

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

May 24th and it was requested that heavy equipment be taken to the beach so the kids could see and sit in the

equipment.

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

3. Chief of Police Report: See Laydown

13.44.040 Main extension by total contribution.

13.44.050 Future assessment or contribution.

13.44.010 Main extensions within the city limits. A. Water mains will be

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),

13.44.020 Benefited area. A. The benefited area to be utilized by SWU when

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

without assessments or contributions. (Ord. 80-9 (part), 1980)

MOTION: Commissioner Ruffner moved, seconded by Commissioner Ecklund to vacate as petitioned,citing the 19 staff report findings and including the 4 staff recommendations.

118



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.

invalid, it shall be set aside and not be counted. Write in votes will be

counted.
