RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO Approve the applications for Deferral of Special Assessment for Warren
Nash of 232 13th Avenue N. and Eloit Willander of 309 12th Avenue N. for as long as
they meet the eligibility requirements
OVERVIEW
City Code Section 2-120 allows for deferment of special assessments upon request for
any homestead property owned by a person who has attained the age of 65, or has not
attained the age of 65, but is retired as a result of a permanent and total disability, and it
is determined to be a hardship for said owners to make the payments. Hearing notices
for Project 2024-010 stated the procedures to apply for such a deferment are available
from the Assessment Clerk. It was not necessary to file an appeal at the assessment
hearing. Mr. Nash and Mr. Willander have now applied for the deferment. Both have
attained the age of 65 and indicate it is a hardship to pay the special assessment. Their
2025 income falls below the income limit set in Section 2- 120.
