NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS TO CONTINUE THE ONGOING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM THROUGH SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT #1

TO: ALL THE RECORD OWNERS OF, AND PARTIES WITH INTEREST IN, ANY LANDS WITHIN THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT DESCRIBED BELOW:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: the Board of Public Works (BPW) of the County of Washtenaw has declared its intention to continue to implement a recycling collection and processing system, including the ongoing operation and maintenance of recycling drop-off stations, a single stream material processing facility, and educational programs. Households in the district have access to recycling drop off locations listed at wwrarecycles.org.

The BPW has tentatively designated a special assessment district. If approved, all tax parcels identified as having a household or households located within Townships of Lyndon, Manchester, Lima, Dexter and Bridgewater in Washtenaw County as participating members of WWRA will be assessed. Each parcel will be assessed not more $35 per year, per residential dwelling, for access to drop off recycling services for a five-year period. The assessment shall be placed on the winter tax bill and shall be due and payable with your property taxes.

Information describing the Project including program elements and cost estimates has been prepared and is on file with the Washtenaw County Director of Public Works. The information is available for public examination at 705 N. Zeeb Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103.
