It is interesting that Mr. Guckian appears to imply that the key part of the proposed changes in the enabling legislation was to give the sewer authority greater latitude in determining how to assess property owners regarding new construction. If that was the case, why did the sewer authority hire a legal firm, I believe expending $30,000, and submit a 20 page document to the council with numerous enabling legislation changes. If going for assessment equity was the goal, a paragraph in the current legislation could have been changed and Mr. Guckian could have saved $30,000. Mr. Gallucci is right, there was a lack of understanding of what the legislation would do. Maybe if the sewer authority had keyed in on the changes in assessment methodology, that could have moved the issue, especially if they thought that this issue was the key to equity.
