Councilmember Hicks commented that it may be better to have residents <br /> who do not understand or agree with the policy than to construct roads incorrectly. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked Ms, Haake who she represents. Ms. Haake explained that several <br /> residents asked her to attend. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked Mr. Coughlin who he represents. Mr. Coughlin stated he isjust <br /> present to speak for the people, <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated ever since the 1995 Assessment Hearing, people have <br /> reviewed the Assessment Policy and that review is on-going, She stated that it has been <br /> indicated there is nothing better out there unless the City pays for everything, which the Council <br /> does not believe is a viable option, She restated the Council is listening to resident's input to <br /> determine if there is a different way. Councilmember Aplikowski stated the Council is always <br /> considering if the Assessment Policy can be modified. She agreed with Councilmember Hicks <br /> that a mistake was made when Pascal A venue was constructed at a width of 24 feet. <br /> Ms, Rem noted this is an election year and asked ifresidents can consider a referendum to <br /> change the levy limit to include improvements forecast by the Pavement Management Program. <br /> A resident asked how long the project segments will take and if they are done simultaneously. <br />. Mayor Probst stated a meeting has not yet been held with the eontractor to determine if they ean <br /> do it all at once but it is usually a progressive project. <br /> The City Engineer explained the contraetor will be allowed a construction period of about three <br /> weeks per segment before the area has to be restored with a lift of blacktop. <br /> Mr. Wilson asked if the assessment rate is being reduced due to use of SWM funds. Mayor <br /> Probst stated this is correet and those funds have been used to underwrite a smaller portion of <br /> projeets in past years, <br /> Bob Downs, 1926 Edgewater Avenue, inquired regarding the interest rate to be charged and <br /> stated he believes eight percent is too high, He asked how this rate will be determined and if <br /> residents can argue this point or if it is governed by law. <br /> Mayor Probst stated eight percent is the highest level that can be charged by government <br /> agencies and, historically, has been a competitive rate, He explained the percentage rate is to <br /> cover the City's cost if it had to borrow the funds, <br /> In response to a question, Mr. Post explained once the final assessment roll is certified, Ramsey <br /> County will assess the cost with interest. Payment without interest can be made for 30 days from <br /> the date of the public hearing (tonight). Otherwise, the assessment is collected through future <br />. property tax payments, <br /> There being no further public input, Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 9:08 p.m. <br /> ----- <br />
