Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipality could base perimeter contributions on the full actual total costs of the project.
Decisão extraída
No. Because the required two-stage perimeter procedure had not been carried out and the original overall cost basis could not be verified, the municipality could not rely on the actual total costs.
Fundamentação extraída
The lack of a proper contribution plan and the absence of a reviewable overall cost estimate meant that actual total costs could not be compared with an approved budget. The incomplete procedure could not be allowed to disadvantage the landowners.
