However, if electricity and cable isn't undergrounded, there isn't much need in undergrounding telephone. In answer to questions by Council, Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the intention at this time is get some direction from the Board as to how to proceed. If the Board is desirous of going ahead with an assessment district, then the Consultant will be notified to come back in with a detail of procedures with a calendar. Mr. Pena felt that the total costs need to be layed out. Mr. Reynolds stated that it's difficult to arrive at exact costs, because of the complexities of each individual residence. In addition to the assessment of $1,105 there will be a $1,500 capacity charge by Coachella Valley Water District when the lateral is run to the property line. There will also be a cost to the homeowner for a plumber to hook into the lateral and to abandon the septic tank. Mrs. Cox questioned the method of spreading the costs and Mr. Reynolds advised that it can be done by dwelling unit; by lot; by area of the lot; by front footage or anything that the bond counsel says is equitable. Each phase of the improvements will have the same opportunity to protest out. Mr. Sniff questioned the mechanism for a final protest by the property owner and Mr. Kiedrowski advised that a letter will be sent to each property owner giving them that opportunity. Mr. Bohnenberger commented that these improvements will add to the value of their property. In answer to Mrs. Cox, Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the total costs could be included in the assessment, but that isn't practical, since many property owners don1t intent to build for several years and therefore, don't wish to incur the cost at this time. To do so, would be, in effect, requiring everyone to hook-up. Mr. Bohnenberger favored proceeding with an assessment district to bring in sewer and gas lines and to ask staff to come back with the time frames and various impacts. MOTION It was moved by Mr. Bohnenberger, seconded by Mr. Pena that staff proceed with an assessment district for sewer and gas for Phase I. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER? NO. 88-9.
