Council orders 2026 mill-and-overlay improvements, asks staff to review assessment timing
Summary
Council voted to order a 2026 mill-and-overlay improvement project and members asked staff to examine whether the 30‑day interest‑free assessment payment window can be extended; staff will return with a recommendation before the assessment hearing.
Staff (speaker 3) described item 205, the next procedural step for the 2026 mill-and-overlay improvement (referenced in the RCA for the Miller Motley project), and said the council previously held an improvement hearing. "Again, tonight is ordering the improvement," staff said, explaining this vote moves the project forward to assessment processes.
A council member asked whether the 30‑day interest‑free payment window could be extended to give residents more time to prepare for assessment payments on a project that moved forward quickly. Another council member echoed the concern. Staff (speaker 3) said they would bring the question back to council between now and the assessment hearing so the council could make a decision on timing and payment terms.
Outcome: the council ordered the improvement forward (motion carried) and directed staff to return before the assessment hearing with a recommendation on whether to extend the interest‑free payment window for affected residents.
