Subject: Moose Range Meadows, Phase II Subdivision USAD - Resolution to Proceed

Date: September 26, 2000

The purpose of the Resolution to Proceed is to authorize the Borough to take the necessary steps to authorize ENSTAR Natural Gas Company to construct the natural gas mainline. The Resolution to Proceed establishes the parcels to be included in the project, along with each parcel's estimated assessment.

The Resolution of Necessity was adopted on August 15, 2000 and the 30-day objection period ended September 14, 2000. At this point, the ordinance (5.35.120) states that if objections have not been received from owners of lots or parcels bearing one-half or more of the estimated costs of improvement, the assembly shall, within thirty days, consider a resolution determining to proceed with the proposed special assessment project. As of September 14, 2000 no (0) written objections were received from parcel owners within the proposed project.

The individual assessment for each parcel in the USAD is estimated at $1,430.51 as set forth in the estimated assessment roll attached to the Resolution of Necessity. The total project cost is $82,969.58.

Approval of the Resolution to Proceed authorizes the Mayor to enter into an agreement to proceed with the construction of the project and to record liens on the benefited parcels detailed on the estimated assessment roll. As previously indicated in the Resolution of Necessity the intended means of financing this project is by an inter-fund loan from the Borough general fund.
