OW BUSmSS REBATE POLICY 'WHEN INS'lALLATIOlf IS mmER AN ASSESSUlft' DISTRICT Mr. Horstkotte, District Kanager-Engineer, reported 011 the experience to date with the Round Hills SIlbdivision which installed an outfall sewer under an assessment district for Unit 1 as a rebate lir1e. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the bonds for the assessaent district were issued under the 1915 Improvement Act. The bonds were for a period of fifteen years and the annual pçments are collected on the property owner's tax bill.

Mr. Horstkotte stated that he understood that the assessment district included not onq sewers but curbs, gutters, and other work. ~ Mr. Horstkotte pointed out that the District has no knowledge of how the rebate funds paid to Round Hills from. the rebate line installed under an assessment district are us~ Members of the Board felt that the reb:at. tund.s should be used to reduce the assessments in the assessment district. 06 21 62 '1.95 Mr. Bobn, Counsel for the District, stated that the present procedure was legal and the rebate funds were probably' considered in the net cost in pricing the lots in Round Hills. The Members of the District Board. expressed their opinion that, since the Round Hills rebate procedure was well along, it should not be changed. They felt that Ordinance 2S and Ordinance 3S should be modified to a limited use when an ass8sSBent district is involved. ..-..o¡ RESOLUTION 10. l~ RESOLUTIOll EXPRESSDfG THE. mINT OF THE.
