Item No. 1 (continued) Mayor Britschgi noted that the public hearing has been continued open and read the following: "This is the time and place set for hearing on the Seaport Boulevard Assessment District. Notices have been posted, published and mailed pursuant to law. These proceedings were undertaken pursuant to a petition filed with the City and executed by the owners of more than 60 percent in area of the property subject to assessment petitioning this Council to undertake proceedings pursuant to appropriate special assessment and assessment bond acts. This hearing is a hearing on the Engineer's Report prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. "The Engineer's Report prepared by the Engineer consists of plans and specifications of the proposed improvements, maps and descriptions of the lands and easements to be acquired, the Engineer's statement of the itemized and total estimated cost and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements, including the incidental expenses in connection therewith, a diagram showing the assessment district and the boundaries and dimensions of the respective subdivisions of land within the district and an assessment in accordance with benefits. Any one of these items may be the subject of protest or endorsement. All written protests to be computed in the protest percentage in relation to the Engineer's Report should have been filed with the City Clerk on or before 7:30 o'clock p.m. Protests or endorsements may be made by any person interested, but only written protests filed by the owners of the property may be considered in determining the percentage of protests. "You are asked to clearly identify yourself and the property owned by you so that your statements may be correctly recorded. "The hearing is declared open and I will ask the City Clerk to report on the various notices given in connection with the hearing." City Clerk Hildebrand read the following: "Notices have been posted, published and mailed as required by the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. Affidavits and certificates of posting, publishing and mailing are on file in my office. A copy of the Engineer's Report prepared by the Engineer was filed in my office on February 4, 1985, and has been open to public inspection since that time." City Manager Smith described the project stating that the only part of the assessment district before Council this evening is the part related to reconstruction and widening of Seaport Boulevard for which there is one assessee. Mr. Smith pointed out that the landscaping portion of the project was included in the district to save money and includes more assessees, with the landscape plan presented being a concept plan which can be modified later.
