. . Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, February 9, 1987 Page 2 ASSMT. POLICY (CONT'D) Council discussed various methods of assessing improvement costs. Other comments by Councll were: . - The assessment policy should be as uniformly fair to all residents as possible. - Shoreview's "Street Renewal Program" is very complete, concise and covers various assessment situations. - Arden Hills staff could draft a policy program similar to Shoreview's for Council review. The Engineer provided Council with a cost breakdown for the Glenhill Road project. He commented that some factors for consideration when determining an assessment policy may be; some road improvements require widening the street, and, bituminous surface may not be considered part of the assessment cost. Christoffersen offered to outline such situations for Council. There was discussion regarding the necessity of setting some type of assessment policy, possibly just for border streets or limited to this improvement, because of the time factor for completing the Glenhil1 Road project in conjunction with the City of Roseville. Moved by Hicks, seconded by Hansen, that Council hereby adopts, as a general street reconstruction assessment policy, an assessment . against benefited property owners of a maximum of 50% of total project costs, excluding curb and gutter; and, furthermore, that Council consider exceptions to the aforementioned policy as they relate to street usage and classification. Sather moved to amend the motion, seconded by Peck, to include: policy be applied only to the Glenhill Road improvement. There was discussion regarding the preparation of a citywide street evaluation/assessment policy. Also discussed was the possibility of appeals because Roseville would only be assessing 25% of the project costs; it was noted that the motion states "a maximum of 50%" be assessed.
