protests and to approve the amended Engineer' s Report for Assessment
District 1984-2, East Bates Avenue, Concord area.
Dave Jewett of the Engineering Services Divsion of the

mation of the District, as well as the Area of Benefit which covers
a portion of the area included in the assessment district.
David Isakson, Isakson & Associates, Engineer of Work,
described the improvements proposed for the District.
The Chair announced that written protests had been
received from Donald H. Gorman and Cal Gas Corporation and declared
the public hearing open. The following property owners appeared and
expressed their views:
Carl Nelson, Attorney for Dennis E. Baca, landowner within
the proposed district, protested the amount of the assessment
assigned to Baca' s property, claiming that the assessment exceeded
the benefit.
Douglas Flett, Consultant for Dennis E. Baca, protested
that the cost to Mr. Baca is inequitable and the benefits to Mr.
Baca are not in correct proportion to the costs.
Jim Schuricht, Engineer with Isakson & Associates,
addressed the method of spread of assessments.
Donald Gorman, property owner, advised that the streets
were already constructed on Arnold Industrial Way andT•on Industrial Way
which would provide him access, and that his parcel would not receive
benefits equal to costs.
Bud Lake, representing Bedford Properties and Mason Park
property owners, advised that although the property owners he repre-
sented had already paid for street improvements, drainage and cir-
culation in Mason Industrial Park, he would urge that the assessment
district go forward to take advantage of the favorable bids received
for the improvements for the entire area as well as the favorable
bond market at this time.
No one else having desired to speak, the Chair declared
the hearing closed.
