place
Tom Drosman, attorney for the Assessment District opponents, believed that the money
the City has already expended on the project and might not recoup can create a bias for
the City and the assessment engineer. He requested that the recount be conducted by an

recounted; and the rules for disqualification that were applied at the April 28 meeting be
disclosed.
