"Exhibit B" as faxed to my office on February 25, 1999 is not a part of Ordinance 95 -690. It is a part of Resolution 110894.3, as approved by City Council on November 8, 1994. That resolution is the first step in the assessment of the adjacent properties for water line improvements. The referenced resolution had an "Exhibit A" which is the Engineer's estimate, an "Exhibit B" that is a listing of the adjacent properties and the amount of proposed assessment. It also had "Exhibit C" that was again the listing of the same properties as being benefited properties by the water line improvements. It is important to note that "Exhibit B" states amount of proposed assessment. That is not the amount of assessment that was finally passed by Ordinance 95 -690. Ordinance 95 -690 only includes "Exhibit A ". There is no other reference in the body of the ordinance to any exhibit other than "Exhibit A ". "Exhibit A ", included with this letter, shows the amount of assessment (please note that no longer is the word "proposed" included). This is the actual amount of the assessment. Various properties dropped off the assessment because an appraisal performed by the City determined no benefit to the three properties. Therefore, their assessment was reduced to zero. "Exhibit A" as attached is the proper assessment associated with Ordinance 95 -690. Any questions concerning this letter can be directed to me at 972/304 -3686. Sincerely, x avl�- Kenneth M.
