MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br />5.9. Consider 2004 Overlay Proiect Supplemental Hearings <br /> <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer indicated that the property at 11769 Brentwood Lane in <br />Brentwood Addition changed ownership as of February 26, 2004. Mr. Maurer stated that <br />when staff compiled the mailing list for the recently completed 2004 Overlay Public Hearing <br />and Assessment Hearing in April 2004, the county records did not reflect the new owners. <br />The notices of the public hearing were mailed out a few weeks later, by which time the <br />county records had been changed to reflect the new owners but city staff did not catch the <br />change and therefore, the previous owners were notified of the hearings. Mr. Maurer stated <br />that this situation has been discussed with City Attorney Peter Beck and the conclusion is <br />that a Supplemental Public Hearing/Assessment Hearing should be held for the new <br />owners, Mark and Donna Mengelkoch. He indicated that the Supplemental <br />Hearing/Assessment Hearing is scheduled for October 18, 2004. <br /> <br />Mr. Maurer stated that he met with Mr. Mengelkoch and explained the situation and offered <br />an opportunity to sign a Waiver and Agreement for Assessment. 11r. Maurer indicated that <br />he advised Mr. Mengelkoch to discuss the situation with his wife and get back to staff. He <br />noted that if the Mengelkoch's sign the Waiver, the need for a Supplemental hearing will no <br />longer exist. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Motin questioned how long staff would wait to hear from the Mengelkoch's <br />before publishing the Public Hearing/Assessment Hearing notices in the paper as to not <br />incur unnecessary costs. Mr. Maurer indicated that the October 18 hearing date was chosen <br />to allow ample time to discuss the situation with the Mengelkochs and for publishing. <br /> <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER KUESTER AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER TVEITE TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING <br />RESOLUTIONS: <br /> <br />.
