to Council regarding staff's assessment proposal for Project 181, which

easement on the Baptist Church property east to Shannon Parkway. The
revised approach for assessment would be to utilize 85 feet as a unit
standard for lot width at a cost of $18.50 per front foot and to
utilize a cost adjustment factor, using engineering construction cost
index, for lots made available in the future by subdivision and that
are hooked up to the sanitary sewer extension. Jilk noted the proposed
