Body
BACKGROUND: In 1997 City Council adopted Ordinance 14,138 establishing the WeaverRidge Special Service Areas. The purpose of the special service areas is to partially repay the cost of the installation of public improvements and costs associated with providing government services. The attached ordinance levies a tax in the amount of $128,000 $160,000 on those properties within the special service area. Each parcel within the WeaverRidge Special Service Area is identified by its ordinance and specific amount of the levy for that parcel of land. Listed below are the levy amounts (rounded) for each parcel. All properties are listed on the attached "Appendix A". The Special Service Area is set up so that the limited liability corporation pays the special service area portion of the property tax, not the resident.
 
                  Parcel A (Golf Course)      $128,000  $160,000
                        
Total                  $128,000  $160,000
