Ro�canna Flink:
Regarding the assessment for 1461 Westminster Street, Florence Benjamin, File J0207 V:
This matter has already been ratified by the City Council, but Councilmember Reiter referred this assessment back to the Legislative Hearing
Officer.
Gerry Strathman, Legislative Hearing Officer, heard this matter at the June 1 t, 2002, Legislative Hearing. He recommends to the City Council
that the assessment be reduced from $917.05 to $555.00 plus the $45 service fee for a total assessment of $600. He reduced the
assessment because he thought it was too high, even though ihe issuance of this assessment is proper.
Please write a resolution for Councilmember Reiter's consideration regarding Mr. Strathman's recommendation on this assessment. I would
write a resolution myself, but I know that your oifice would rather write it so that ii is worded correctly.
Thank you in advance for your time. If you have any questions or if you need anything else from me, please tet me know.
Sincerely,
Racquel Naylor
Secretary to Ge�ry Strathman

Please don't ask the Council Person to write a resolution to retluce the assessment. Instead, write us a letter to reduce the assessment to $???.??
because the cost was excessive. We can then write a housekeeping resolution to fix it.
