City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: May 8, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Community Development Director
Subject: Resolution 2023-050: Amending the Harmon Developer Reimbursement
Program Application from the "reimbursement method" to the "assessment
district method" and appropriating $161,565, the other half of the estimated
cost of improvements.
Background and justification:
Mr. Harmon has requested to change methods for his participation in the DRP program from the
"reimbursement method" to the "assessment district method".
The reimbursement method is where the developer pays all of the costs up front and then turns in
the receipts to the city and is then reimbursed for half of those receipts. With this method, half of
the amount of the total improvement cost is appropriated.
The assessment district method is where the city pays for the costs up front, and the lots are then
assessed for half and paid back through the assessment process. With this DRP method, the full
amount of the improvement cost is appropriated.
On September 12th, the City Council approved Resolution 2022-102, approving the Harmon
Developer Reimbursement Application for the Harmon Subdivision.
The total estimated amount for the improvement is $323,130. Half of that amount, $161,565,
was appropriated during the original approval of the application. This resolution will amend
his application, appropriate the other half of the improvements, and prepare things for the
assessment district to be set up when the utility installation is completed.
