or previously assessed. Legal requirements (requiring no bonds to be sold until
after construction project awarded) and construction - legal problems (Lydia,
Beam, water booster station) have forced the City into not bonding a majority of
our projects until such time as we have a group of projects for which definite
financing can be planned.
