BACKGROUND On March 25, 1986 (M&C C-9563), the City Council awarded a construction con- tract for the paving of Williams Road from Chapin Road to U.S. Highway 80 West to J. L. Bertram Construction and Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $455,581.15, and adopted Ordinance No. 9605 approving and adopting .cost estimates for the improvements and amounts to be assessed against the abutting owners, and setting April 22, 1986, as the date for the benefit hearing. When the abutting property owners were notified of their assessments for this paving project, many expressed strong feelings that the assessment amounts exceeded the enhancement to their property values that would result from the paving. It was therefore determined to obtain an independent appraisal of the properties involved and to delay the benefit hearing until such an appraisal could be obtained. On May 6, 1986 (M&C C-9624), the City Council authorized a contract with Daniels, Highfield and Associates for such services. The appraiser has completed his study, which indicates that adjustments should be made to the assessments against certain properties involved in the project. The benefit hearing has been rescheduled for August 19, 1986. PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCING: Of the total contract amount of $455,581.15, the City of Benbrook has paid the City of Fort Worth one-half the cost, or $227,790.57. The remaining $227,790.58 was funded from bond funds and funds from the Special Assessments Fund representing the property owner's portion of the cost.
