While she is eligible <br /> for these services , she is not destitute but falls in the <br /> borderline category of indigency. <br /> Revision of the assessment policy to extend the payback <br /> period beyond the current five (5) year period would <br /> result in other petitioners making similar requests, thus <br /> affecting the County's ability to finance projects in the <br /> future. Holding an assessment in abeyance would require <br /> that the assessment process begin again, increasing the <br /> cost of the project and to individual property owners <br /> through additional administrative costs.
