photo by Dave DeMars Mike Deutz, a St. Joseph property owner, listens attentively to an explanation of how the assessment process works at the June 5 St. Joseph City Council meeting. A portion of the meeting was dedicated to a special hearing to decide on how to assess for work being done on alleys in the city. Deutz contends since his property was unbuildable, he receives little if any benefit from the alley improvements.
