3.The property against which the assessments are proposed shall be benefited by the

time as their specific property is annexed or connects to such improvement(s), in which event the special
assessment shall be due and payable either in full or in five (5) annual installment payments, the latter
with interest accruing thereon from the date of annexation or connection. This method of payment shall
be approved and ratified by the Board of the Town of Rock in accord with Section 66.0707 of the
Wisconsin Statutes, and such other applicable provisions of law and intergovernmental agreement(s),
and shall act, once so ratified by the Rock Town Board, as a levied special assessment against such
abutting and/or benefiting properties in the Town of Rock. This levy and special assessment payment
provisions are in accord with the City of Janesville/Town of Rock Cooperative Boundary Plan, City of
Janesville Common Council Special Assessment Policy Numbers 63 and 95, related pertinent provisions,
and the Town of Rock/Janesville Highway 11 Bypass Agreement. The special assessment levy and
payments shall be made by the abutting, benefiting and affected property owners in accord with the
LaPrairie and Rock Township City of Janesville Highway 11 Bypass Agreement, as well as the
Rock/Janesville Cooperative Boundary Plan. This provision applies only to the properties located in the
Town of Rock.

quarter percent (4.25%) per annum on the unpaid balance. The first installment on the five-year plan

the annual tax rolls thereafter until all are collected. Deferred payment on the aforementioned installments
shall bear interest at four and one-quarter percent (4.25%) per annum.
The assessments against any parcel for sewer and water service pipes shall constitute a lien
against such parcel and must be paid in cash or with the taxes in the year following the completion of the
work.
