3.02.060 Method of assessment – Alternative methods of financing.
A. The council in adopting a method of assessment of the costs of any local improvement may;
1. use any reasonable method of determining the extent of the local improvement district consistent with the benefits derived;
2. use any reasonable method of apportioning the sum to be assessed between the properties determined to be specially benefited;
3. authorize payment by the City of all or part of the costs of a local improvement when in the opinion of the council the topographical or physical conditions, or unusual or excess public travel or use, or other character of the work involved warrants only a partial payment or no payment by the benefited property of the costs of the local improvement.
B. Nothing contained in BC 3.02.010 through 3.02.235 shall preclude the council from using other available means of financing local improvements, including federal or State grants-in-aid, water or sewer fees or charges, revenue or general obligation bonds, issuance of general obligation improvement warrants for interim financing of construction, or any other legal means of financing. If other legal means of financing local improvements are used, the council may levy special assessments according to the benefits derived to cover any remaining part of the costs of the local improvement.
