He also described the method of spreading the assessment on both area and front footage. He testified that the work was constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications~ and that the assessment wms prepared and spread by hIm, and that in his opinion the assessment has been spread upon the lots or parcels of land in the district subject to assessment in proportion to the benefits arising from the work and to be received by each such lot or parcel. CITY COUNCIL - 416 - December 6, 1965 The Clerk read in full letters objecting to the cost of the work done from Thomas T. Preller, no address, Joe Matta, Sr., 4905 W. 7th, and a petition with approximately 23 signatures from homeowners in the area. A letter from Carrol W.

Mr. Hamilton stated in answer to a question that the law allows assessments to be spread in any reasonable manner. Mr. Wolford also stated that to be fair to all the owners in the district because of the size of the lots in this district that the assessment spread had been worked out by area and also front footage. The City Manager also described the lots stating some of the lots were 300' deep in some places. In answer to a question from Councilman McMichael, the Director of Public Works explained that the method for spreading the assessment was a standard method, particularly when the lots are different sizes. Each parcel was assessed for the cost of all house connections which were installed to serve such parcel. In addition, two-thirds of the costs and expenses of the sewer system (other than house connections) was apportioned to the various parcels on the basis of their respective areas and one-third of such costs and expenses were apportioned to the various parcels on the basis of their respective frontages. Regarding Mr. Carrol W. Barmann's letter stating he was already connected to the Garden Grove Sanitation District, the Public Works Director explained that he could not legally be connected to District sewers since his property was not in the Garden Grove Sanitation District. Mr. Hamilton also explained that the primary basis of benefit is the ability of land to drain into the sewer facility and also the legal right to use that facility. It would take legal proceedings and consent from the Garden Grove District before Mr. Barmaun could connect to that line and since his property can physically drain into the sewer of Santa Ana, it was included in the Santa Ana Assessment. Enidino Pentowa, 5~14 Second Street, questioned the paying of the bill because of her house being condemned.
