Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. None wished to address the City Council. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves stated her only concern regarding this project is the number of landowners who are going to be taxed as a result. She asked if the only way the land owners are informed of this large project is by notice of a public hearing. Mr. Albers, Project Manager, replied that is correct as well as they were all invited to the neighborhood meeting. Mr. Boganey noted the properties in the project are mostly commercial and all have substantial revenue so while the amount of money being taxed is large in general, for businesses of this size it is not as substantial. Mayor Willson noted businesses generating that type of revenue want the street outside their property fixed to ensure the property value of their businesses stay intact. Councilmember Ryan noted the City does its due diligence and notifies all residents and business owners of these projects and ensures they give appropriate notice. Attorney Gilchrist agreed and stated the City does ensure all legal requirements are met to inform property owners of the projects happening on and around their land. Mr. Lillehaug noted in the eight years he has been with the City, he has not seen any property owners come forward with objections about notification after the project has begun.
