Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, reported this resolution is part of State Code procedures the city has to follow when we have an assessment program. Mr. Thorson stated that generally we use the assessed value of the lots which are established by the county, and is one of the resolutions required when we fix those values. Mr. Thorson stated sometimes when doing an assessment, by Iowa Code, you can only assess up to 25 percent of the value of the property, and generally with sidewalk repairs we don't come close to 25 percent but council needs to fix those values so staff knows how to calculate the assessments. Mr. Thorson stated if there were something over 25 percent of the value of the property that is called a conditional deficiency, which the city would pick up. Mr. Thorson stated the previous item approved by council is the contract to actually do the assessment work which are put out for bids for contractors.
