Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 18, 2014 Page 16 will pay nothing for that except 2% out of our General Fund and the cost of intersections for that new street of lights. That's all the rest of the community would have to pay. Mr. Saponaro asked, these lights are for inhere? Mr. Diemert replied, this is just for the general lighting that already exists throughout the community. Mr. W}nme added, it's the electrical costs. Council President Buckholtz stated, one of the other interesting things that came up when we were talking is if you really think it through, if municipalities stopped having the County collect the assessment, we would still pay the electric bill which is taxpayer's money anyways. Either way you look at it, the electric bill is going to get paid and it's going to be spread around the community. So it's not as imbalanced as you might think like having them or not having theirs. But having said that, two things are that there is a tune limit. I know that personally. We do have to get this passed to have the assessments put on the tax duplicate. I feel personally that I am going to call some old comrades and co-workers and find out and confer with you and the law department and find out. I know you can create new special assessments if you want. Maybe you can redesign old ones. I don't know. But it's worth looking into. That's what we will do. Any other comments or questions? There were none.
