The original resolution stated that no new assessment will be prepared unless there is an increase or decrease in the annual anticipated lighting costs submitted by the Grant County PUD. Last years assessment rate was set at ($16. 00) per parcel for 1999 . The anticipated carryover going into 2001 is adequate for payments in February and March. Since there is an expected 6o rate increase by the PUD for 2000, increase of 6% in 2001 and 5o for 2002 and 2003 we will need to increase the assessment to ($18 . 00) in 2000 which includes the county' s administration fee. The administration fee will be still be $1. 00 per parcel for 2000 . The last time the annual rate was changed was for 1998 . Please start the hearing process to increase the assessment rate to $18. 00 per parcel for 2000 . This is most likely enough to be sufficient for costs also in 2001, but hopefully the vote on fees (especially small increases) will be fixed by the legislature or that this section will be deemed unconstitutional. It is also problematic that the PUD is an unknown factor since all but $394 . 00 of the revenues goes to them. Will their future increases be subjec� to vote requirements or will the courts deem them exempt from 695 _ If they have to go to a vote, then would I need to have also the lighting district assessment on the ballot to counteract a potential positive vote for the PUD ballot measure? The assessment rate is needed to increase just a little to assist the people in this area from avoiding election costs in 2000 and probably 2001. Property owners in this area are more like taxpayers county wide versus the Gateway area and the collection rate for this district is better than Gateways. I had called some people in the Hillcrest area to find out their feelings of the assessment being increased even more so that they would not have to pay for election costs in 2000 for an additional increase for 2001. One person preferred that we just turn off the lights now and did not want to pay for having street lights. Others were agreeable to having the assessment rate increase even more �o avoid the election costs .
