ASSESSMENT RATE, FINANCIAL PLAN AND
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS
The Assessment is proposed to be levied on benefited property within the Assessment Area to pay for the Improvements according to the estimated benefits to the property from such Improvements. The Improvements will be financed with bonds. The estimated interest rate to be paid on the bonds is 4.0% and the term of the bonds is estimated to be twenty (20) years.
RESERVE FUND
It is the intent of the City to create and fund a reserve fund from proceeds of the bonds. Such reserve fund will be replenished from funds received from the foreclosure of delinquent properties. The City may also elect to replenish the Reserve Fund including by any of the methods provided in Section 11-42-701(2) of the Act. Any funds remaining in the reserve fund upon full payment of the bonds will first be dispersed to the City to repay any advances made (including interest thereon) and second, be dispersed to the property owner's in accordance with such owners' pro-rata share of the Assessments.
BASIS FOR ASSESSMENT
The total construction costs of the Improvements including estimated overhead costs and administrative costs, is estimated by an engineer at $2,496,940, of which it is anticipated to be paid by assessments to be levied against the properties within the Assessment Area to be benefited by such Improvements, which benefits need not actually increase the fair market value of the properties to be assessed. The City expects to initially finance $2,860,000 (including capitalized interest) to be used for the cost of the Improvements. The cost of Improvements to be assessed against the benefited properties within the Assessment Area shall initially be assessed using a per acre methodology. The total estimated Assessment specific to your property is as described in Exhibit A attached hereto.
As permitted by, and in accordance with the Act, from time to time additional property may be added to the Assessment Area, at which time the remaining Assessments shall be reallocated proportionately by the City Recorder using a weighted average method of assessment based on the number of acres allocated amongst all property owners within the Assessment Area, as further described in the Assessment Resolution.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
The owners of benefitted properties have the right to prepay the assessment without interest within twenty-five (25) days after the Resolution levying the assessments becomes effective. A property owner may prepay the assessment as provided in the Assessment Resolution. The assessments shall be levied against properties in a manner that reflects an equitable portion of the benefit of the Improvements as required by the Act. The Assessment will be collected by directly billing each property owner. Other payment provisions and enforcement remedies shall be in accordance with the Act.
The City has determined that the reasonable useful life of the Improvements is at least twenty (20) years and that it is in the City and the owners' best interest for certain property owner installments to be paid for up to twenty (20) years, if not prepaid.
PUBLIC HEARING
The City Council shall hold a public hearing on November 17, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. at the Woods Cross Public Works Facility, located at 2287 South 1200 West, Woods Cross City, Utah to hear all objections related to the Assessment Area as set forth in the Act.
TIME FOR FILING PROTESTS
PROTESTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECTING TO THE ASSESSMENT AREA DESIGNATION OR OBJECTING TO BEING ASSESSED FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE CITY BEFORE 5:00 P.M. ON JANUARY 18, 2021.

PROTESTS OR OBJECTIONS MAY BE MAILED TO THE CITY AT 1555 S 800 W, WOODS CROSS, UT 84087, ATTN: GARY URESK OR A COPY EMAILED TO GURESK@WOODSCROSS.COM.
The written protest must describe or otherwise identify said property. If the aggregate taxable value of property that is the subject of timely filed written protests represents at least 40% of the aggregate taxable value of all property within the Assessment Area, the City Council will not impose the Assessment. Protests withdrawn prior to the expiration of the protest period and protests from areas deleted from the Assessment Area will not be counted against the creation of the Assessment Area.
On Tuesday, February 2, 2021 (such date being within 15 days after the date the protest period expires), at 6:30 p.m. at the Woods Cross Public Works Facility, located at 2287 South 1200 West, Woods Cross City, Utah, the City Council shall count the written protests filed and calculate whether adequate protests have been filed and hold a public meeting to announce the protest tally and whether adequate protests have been filed.
