NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Commission of the
City of Atlantic Beach as follows:

IMPROVEMENT. The nature of the improvement consists of a water
line of 840 linear feet which will serve lots on Ocean Grove Drive
not now served by the City. The location of the improvements
includes all lots and lands adjoining and contiguous or bounding
and abutting upon such improvements or specially benefitted thereby
and are further designated by the assessment plat, all as more
particularly described in the maps attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
and hereby made a part hereof.
SECTION 2 . AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY THE ASSESSMENT. The whole
amount of the project will be paid by the assessment and no portion
of the project will be funded by the General Improvement fund. The
amount to be paid by the assessment is $22 , 403 . 04 .
SECTION 3 . MANNER IN WHICH ASSESSMENT TO BE MADE. Such
special assessment shall be made in one hundred forty-four (144)
equal monthly payments with interest at a rate not to exceed 5 . 91%
per annum on the unpaid balances from the date of acceptance by the
City of the project, to which if not paid when due there shall be
added a penalty of one percent (1%) per month until paid; provided
that such special assessment may be paid without interest at any
i
time within thirty (30) days after the project is completed and a
resolution accepting same has been adopted by the City. Such

uous or bounding and abutting upon such improvements or specially
benefitted thereby. The special assessment shall be levied against
such properties in a direct proportion to the benefits received
from the construction of the project. The special assessments,
together with interest upon the whole assessment, shall be due and
payable in cash on a monthly basis by the lot owners as billed by
the City until paid in full; provided, however, that such assess-
ments may be paid in full without interest at any time within
