Open Mike Mr. Cliff Lundberg appeared before the City Council requesting that the re-assess- ment of the Peterson Addition be completed by May 1st, 1982. Mr. Lundberg indicated that the new assessment could be certified to the auditor's office and the prop- erty owners involved could get an abatement from the auditor's office rather than paying for the assessment and then receiving a refund at the time of re-assessment. The City Administrator indicated that the re-assessment could possibly be done by May 1st if the auditor's office would agree with the abatement process, but further indicated that the bond fund must be analyzed to be assured of enough funds to pay the principal and interest, or the City may possibly have to collect the assessments and then refund them at a later date. Mr. Cliff Lundberg asked if interest was to be paid on the overpayments. The City Administrator indicated that it was his understanding that interest was to be paid on the overpayments as a part of the settlement. 5.
