Mayor Pro Tem Cavey recalled that mill levies were capped at 60 mills. Hyman

development plan to accommodate residents, which has increased their costs.  
They will get a completed park and changes to road and sidewalk improvements  
that are public improvements, but they are not extending the time.

assessment not a mill levy.
