Petition for reduction of assessment for Sidewalk
Improvement District at 708 West Myrtle Street, from
Frank Cerovski et ux, 647 Winona Court, Denver, Colorado
denied _
Mrs. Frank Cerovski, 647 Winona Court, Denver, Colorado, requested
clarification on the assessment in connection with Consolidated Sidewalk
Improvement District No. 3.
City Attorney March inquired first of the petitioner when the property Lad
been purchased. Mrs. Cerovski replied "September of 1971." City
Attorney DlaLrch then reviewed the history of the district from its inception
to the current status. Mr. March pointed out the basic problem as that of
the records in the County Assessor's Office not catching up with the
current property owner for as long a period of time as a year and the
inability of the City to maintain such a record.
City `tanager Brunton stated the current property owners had in fact
received the value of the improvement to the property. City Attorney March
stated the assessment charged was for $176.53 spread over ten years.
Councilman Bowling made a motion seconded by Councilman Russell not to
grant a reduced assessment. Yeas: Bowling, Gray, Preble, Russell, and
Wilkinson. frays: Reeves.
Assistant Mayor Gray stated Director of Community Development Roy Bingman
would ascertain from the Assessor's Office the total of the assessment due
and advise Mrs. Cerovski.

certain improvements to the sanitary sewer system of the City, and
WHEREAS, the plans and specifications for such proposed
improvements have been completed and bids have been taken for the
work contemplated, and
WHEREAS, the low bid for such work was in the amount of
$10,855,000.00, and
WHEREAS, the excess of such bid over the amount anticipated
appears to have been caused by increased cost of materials and construc-
tion due to inflation which is an unforeseen contingency arising after
the passage of the appropriation ordinance for the year 1974, and
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Collins has been advised that it
will receive increased grants from the federal and state government
which will cover a portion of such increased cost and the City anticipates
that it will receive more funds through the sale of revenue bonds to
-be issued in connection with this project than was anticipated at the
time of the passage of the appropriation ordinance, and

sufficient to meet any portion of.the excess cost not covered by
federal or state grants or by the increased amounts to be received from
the sale of such revenue bonds.

FORT COLLINS:
Section 1. That pursuant to the provisions of Article V of.
the Charter of the City of Fort Collins there is hereby appropriated
