MEMORANDUM 13-016

To: Mayor Wythe and Homer City Council
Through: Walt Wrede, City Manager, Rick Abboud, City Planner
From: Julie Engebretsen, Planning Technician
Date: January 22, 2013
Subject: Ordinance 13-01(A) Deferred Assessments

I was asked to estimate the number of properties that may qualify for a deferred assessment for the Natural Gas SAD.

My best guess is that 3-5% of the properties may qualify for a low income deferral, or 100-200 parcels. This is a very rough estimate.
