<br />I <br />I. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I- <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />Ie <br />I <br /> <br />,bRDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 26. 1995 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Mr. Marshik believed the policy is incorrect and needs to be reviewed. <br /> <br />Mr. Ed Kosse, 1865 Stowe Avenue, indicated the comment was made that the County would not <br />have improved the street for a number of years. He indicated if the City had not taken the street <br />back, the County would have repaired the street and residents would be driving on a new street as <br />of May of1994. <br /> <br />Mr. Kosse inquired as to the time of assessment Mayor Probst indicated there is a 30 day period <br />from the close of the Public Hearing in which residents may pay the assessment without interest <br />If residents choose not to pay during that 30 days, the assessment (one-fifth or one-eighth) will be <br />on next year's property tax, <br /> <br />Mr. Kosse inquired as to why the taxes are assessed prior to the completion of the project. He <br />believed the residents are not guaranteed the work will even be completed by this year, yet they are <br />required to pay the assessment now. Mayor Probst indicated this policy was adopted in 1990, <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone indicated typically the assessment hearings would be held in March. Mr. <br />Kosse indicated that would mean additional months before actual completion of the project, he did <br />not agree with that method either, <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone indicated there are several ways in which to approach the establishing of <br />assessments. He noted because the assessments have been established, in Arden Hills, at a flat rate <br />and do not change, it was decided to assess at the time of the project He pointed out if the project <br />comes in over budget, the difference is the responsibility of the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone indicated that if the assessment was made after completion of the project, <br />the assessment would be for the actual cost of the project. He explained the City chose to avoid the <br />variable rate, making the City responsible for variable costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Kosse indicated a building is not paid for before it is built and he believed this should apply to <br />street improvements. He requested the policy be reviewed. <br /> <br />Mr. Bob Porter 1128 Benton Way, did not feel adequate notification was given. He pointed out <br />41 properties of the Homeowners Association were not notified until June IS, 1995, and were not <br />notified of prior meetings. He indicated 27 other properties were previously notified. <br /> <br />Mr, Porter pointed out various complex situations regarding the Homeowners Association. He felt <br />these issues should be raised, but because of short notice, the residents did not have the opportunity <br />to see project details and ask questions. He inquired if the Council could postpone action on <br />assessments, so residents just recently notified could gain information regarding the details of the <br />project. He felt it would be unfair for this meeting to be the only opportunity to object to the project, <br />prior to District Court, <br />
