Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting December 14,2006 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Engineer based on qualifications to develop plans and specifications, that would be hopefully by March 2007. He said also during that time frame, hopefully and working in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office, we will have an ordinance developed as well as the response back from Tischler and Associates, and once we get the plans and specifications, and the ordinance in place, then the next step is to schedule a public hearing. He noted that at the public hearing affected residents on Atlantic Avenue can articulate their input on the project and that will be hopefully by June 2007. He said at that point the Special Assessment Roll would also be spread over 25-years, and it is up to the City Commission if they want to have payoffs, or no payoffs upon the transfer of property, all the details will be up to the City Commission, but it has to be with great specificity down to the penny what that Assessment cost is going to be on a per parcel basis. City Manager Szerlag also noted that he has recommended to the residents that should the Special Assessment cost to the residents be less than the actual cost because there is an increase in the construction he is recommending that they not increase the Special Assessment cost to the residents. Commissioner Brezin said then that if the City's overhead is higher, the City is not going to put that burden on the resident, you are going to leave it as is and the City will absorb that additional costs, and City Manager Szerlag said yes.
