Councilman Philbrook arrived.
Mr. 01ander questioned whether the opinion of an independent surveyor should be
gotten.
Discussed benefit credit being granted on future project. City land should be
assessed.
Council was polled on feelings on double assessment:
Swenson - Opposed, once assessed that should be it.
Lovaasen - Like to see it that way, but ~ust assess to benefited properties;
it would be best to do whole total project.
Fenstad - Double assessment not fair; some credit should be worked out.
Philbrook Double benefit can't actually exist; should be no need for second
assessment; should look at whole criteria.
Ulrick - Feel that people here can't be taxed again for second assessment;
only benefit is what is assessed today.
