the total assessment units on each parcel as it relates to the total number of assessments, actual or
by formula, within the district. Reference is hereby made to said Engineer's Report, on file in the
office of the City Clerk of said City, for full particulars and proposed assessment amount against
each parcel.
SECTION 5. The assessment financing alternative to be followed shall be as follows,
to-wit:
The estimated cost of the first year's maintenance, as set forth in said Engineer's report, shall be
assessed against the properties involved within the current fiscal year or the fiscal year following
the establishment of the district. Depending on when the costs are assessed relative to when the
maintenance is assumed by the City, this assessed amount can be used as a source of pre-funding
the first year's maintenance contract and incidental costs. Once the district has assumed the
responsibility for the maintenance, the properties shall be assessed each year thereafter to establish
a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or for the actual contract and incidental costs. If there
are surplus amounts in the event of pre-funding of costs, then such surplus may be applied as a
credit to the following year's assessment or retained in a reserve to offset future increases. Interest
will be charged on any portion of the assessments that are not pre-funded through previous
assessments. The interest rate shall be based upon the average rate ofthe City's current earnings
on invested funds during the period of expenditure. The assessment shall be levied, collected and
enforced in the same manner, at the same time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the
case of taxes levied for property taxes. Said assessments will be collected in perpetuity or until
terminated by the Mayor and Common Council. Reference is made to said Engineer's Report for
