<br /> <br /> <br />2004 Assessment Policy – Page 1 <br />City of Arden Hills <br />2004 Assessment Policy <br /> <br /> <br />General Information <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills has adopted a revised Assessment Policy for its existing streets that <br />are part of the Pavement Management Program (PMP )).. The PMP is a long-term, multi-year <br />plan that consists of proposed reconstruction and repair of the city’s streets. The goal and <br />intent of this policy revision was to simplify and make the process easy to understand and <br />implement. The Policy was drafted by a group of local citizens who served on the City’s <br />2004 Assessment Policy Task Force. This Policy document is divided into two parts. Part I <br />deals with existing streets and Part II deals with new developments. <br /> <br /> <br />Part I – Assessment Policy for Existing Streets <br /> <br />The purpose of this assessment policy manual is to establish procedures to be utilized by the <br />City of Arden Hills when preparing assessment rolls, so as to assure uniform and consistent <br />treatment of the affected properties. <br /> <br />Minnesota State Law, Chapter 429 provides that a municipality shall have the power to make <br />public improvements such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water source and distribution <br />facilities, street improvements including grading, curb and gutter, surfacing, sidewalks, street <br />lighting and recreational facilities, etc. The various procedures that the municipality must <br />follow including reports, notices and public hearings are well defined within the law. <br /> <br />The Statute further defines that the cost of any improvement may be assessed upon property <br />benefited by the improvement based upon the benefits received whether or not the property <br />abuts on the improvement and whether or not any part of the cost of the improvement is paid <br />from other funding sources. The law is not specific on how these benefits are to be measured <br />or how the costs are to be apportioned, but rather makes it incumbent upon the municipality <br />to determine with assistance of the City Engineer, City Attorney, appraisers or other qualified <br />personnel, a fair and equitable method of cost-sharing among the properties involved. <br /> <br />Throughout this policy manual, the total cost of an improvement shall include the <br />construction cost, plus all associated overhead costs. The total cost of the associated <br />overhead for a public improvement project would typically include the following as a <br />percentage of the construction costs:
