On Monday, 10 of 40 property owners submitted letters of objection to the Highway 282 assessments, after they were asked to pay $5,000 each prior to the beginning of construction.

The Jordan City Council has scheduled a special meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13, to continue discussion about how much money residents will pay in assessments for the Highway 282 project.

With the multimillion-dollar construction slated to begin next spring, the city started collecting assessments from residents along the road, which is locally called Second Street. A decision in regard to assessments collectable in 2009 must be made next week.

Councilmembers had some questions for Finance Director Tom Nikunen, who was out sick. The public hearing will only be reopened next Monday if Nikunen’s comments raise the council’s need for more public input.

The meeting will take place in the council chamber of the Jordan Government Center, 210 E. First St. The council generally meets the first and third Mondays of every month.
