Bids were solicited and opened on <br />Wednesday, March 9, 2022. The initial proposed Special Assessment Hearing on April 11, 2022 <br />was tabled due to a calculation error on the assessment rate. Notices were sent to the applicable <br />residents and the Special Assessment Hearing was rescheduled for today, May 9, 2022. <br /> <br />A portion of the costs for the Snelling Avenue North Street and Utility Improvement Project are <br />proposed to be assessed against the benefitting properties according to the City’s Assessment <br />Policy. In order to assess these costs, the City must follow the process outlined in State Statute <br />429. On March 14, 2022, after the bids were opened, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022- <br />014 Declaring Costs to be Assessed and set today as the date for the assessment hearing. A public <br />hearing prior to adopting the assessments is a requirement of State Statute 429. The proposed <br />assessment area is shown on Attachment A. <br /> <br /> PUBLIC HEARING – 8A <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
