2. That the proposed services, labor, materials and improvements (also known as the “District Improvements”) necessary to accommodate the request of the owners of the District Lands shall include, but may not be limited to, the design, construction, installation and placement of sanitary sewer main lines, inlets, manholes, connecting mains, service line stub-outs to the property lines, compensation or fees required for easements, permits or other permanent or temporary interests in real property which may be required to accommodate the installation, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the District Improvements, together with any other services or facilities required to accomplish this request as deemed necessary by the City Utility Engineer, all of which shall be installed in accordance with the General Conditions, Specifications and Details for Public Works and Utility Projects of the City of Grand Junction.

3. That the assessments to be levied against and upon the District Lands shall be based upon the total actual costs of the District Improvements. The City Utility Engineer has estimated the total probable costs of the District Improvements to be $390,000.00. Based on the aforesaid estimate of the City Utility Engineer, the assessments to be levied against and upon each individual parcel are estimated to be $7,800.00; provided, however, that pursuant to a Joint Resolution by the City Council and the Board of Commissioners of Mesa County, being City Resolution No. 38-00, and Mesa County Resolution No. MCM 2000-73, the City has determined that the District Lands are eligible for and shall receive the benefits of the Septic System Elimination Program and thus said District Lands shall be assessed for only seventy (70%) of the assessable cost of said improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing estimates, the total costs of the District Improvements, whether greater or less than said estimates, shall be assessed against and upon the District Lands. The assessments to be levied against and upon the District Lands do not include other costs and fees which the owners of the District Lands will be required to pay prior to making connection to the District Improvements, including, but not limited to, costs to extend the service lines from the stub-outs to the building(s) to be served, Plant Investment Fees, Trunk Line Extension Fees, and any other fees which may be required prior to making physical connections to the District Improvements.

4. That the assessments to be levied against and upon the District Lands to pay the whole costs of the District Improvements shall be due and payable, without demand, within thirty (30) days after the ordinance assessing such costs against and upon the District Lands becomes final. Failure by any owner(s) to pay the whole assessment within said thirty (30) day period shall be conclusively considered as an election on the part of said owner(s) to pay such owner’s assessment in ten (10) annual installments, in which event an additional six percent (6%) one-time charge for costs of collection and other incidentals shall be added to the principal amount of such owner’s assessment. Assessments to be paid in installments shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 8 percent (8%) per annum on the unpaid balance and shall be payable at the time the next installment of general taxes, by the laws of the State of Colorado, is payable, and each annual installment shall be paid on or before the same date each year thereafter until paid in full; provided, however, that any new lot created within a period of ten (10) years following the creation of said Sanitary Sewer Improvement District No. SS-44-00 shall not have the election of paying the assessment to be levied against and upon such new lots in ten (10) annual installments, but rather, such assessments shall be due and payable at the time any such new lots are created.

5. That the City Engineer is hereby authorized and directed to prepare full details, plans and specifications for the District Improvements, together with and a map of the district depicting the District Lands to be assessed from which the amount of the estimated assessments to be levied against each individual property may be readily ascertained, all as required by Ordinance No. 178, as amended, City of Grand Junction, Colorado.

6. That Notice of Intention to Create said Sanitary Sewer Improvement District No. SS-44-00, and of a hearing thereon, shall be given by advertisement in one issue of The Daily Sentinel, a newspaper of general circulation published in said City, which Notice shall be in substantially the form set forth in the attached "NOTICE".
