Regular Council Meeting <br />4/24/95 <br />Page Six <br />Mike Monaco, 6442 Highland Road, said they asked the Mayor three weeks ago if the <br />sewers could be looked at in a different light and if the assessment could be done on <br />a benefit system instead of a residential unit. Mr. Janoviak said he was working on <br />it over two weeks. They feel this has been lost. Mr. Monaco said if it was figured on <br />benefit, the burden would be lightened for all of us. If everybody that was being <br />served by the North County Line trunk paid the same assessment, it would be a <br />much less burden than the way it is being figured now. <br />Mayor Rinker said we have gone through some pretty lengthy discussion about the <br />manner of the assessment and has indicated we would review the assessments. He <br />said he will sit down with Mr. Janoviak and whatever we resolve amongst <br />ourselves that we can share with you and describe and explain and field questions, <br />we will do it. He thinks that will be much more productive. <br />Rick Christian, 510 S.O.M. Center Road - said in previous meetings, you told us <br />there were only two ways to have the assessments go through--either by footage or <br />by residential unit. Now, we have come to find out by digging through paperwork <br />that there are other ways that these can be assessed. One of them is by benefit. <br />Anyone that benefits from this trunk line going through, should pay an equal <br />amount of the trunk line being put in. Why is so hard for Council to see this point <br />and why is it Council wants to assess the people on S.O.M. Center Road (most of <br />which are elderly and on fixed incomes) so much more than the rest of the Village <br />who will be benefiting from this. In your paperwork, it says this trunk line is being <br />put in to benefit the entire north end of the Village. 1VIr. Christian said if you take . <br />the 3,000 some odd lots that are on this north end of town and you divide them into <br />6.5 million, that comes up to a little under $2,000 per household or per lot. <br />Mayor Rinker said the math sounds appealing; he does not think it will work out <br />that way. He will sit down and challenge Mr. Janoviak to work out the math <br />problem and will see how it shakes down. He thinks they will find that it will be <br />disapportionate to a lot of other people and does not believe it will be as simple as <br />they want it to be. <br />Mr. Ferrante said let's move on.
