TITLE FOR AGENDA ITEM:
TITLE
Ordinance authorizing a revised system of assessment for Drainage Improvement District No. 7
BODY
SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:
This ordinance would adopt a revised system of assessment to provide revenue for the Drainage Improvement District No. 7. The existing method of assessment is based solely on a relative ratio per acre per lot and does not take into consideration the greater contribution of runoff from and the greater benefit associated with conveying runoff away from a higher value asset within the District. The proposed system of assessment will be based on a combination of a relative ratio per acre (including minimum fee for lots smaller than one-acre) and a relative ratio of improvement value (per Assessor) per lot within the District. The revised system is being proposed to improve the equity of property assessments
