August 23, 1982 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota, was duly held in the City Hall in said City on Monday, August 23, 1982, at 7:30 o'clock p.m. The following members were present: Mayor Woodburn and Councilmen Johnson, McAllister and Mulcahy; and the following was absent: Councilman Hicks. Also in attendance were Charlotte McNiesh, City Clerk Admin- istrator; Dorothy Zehm, Deputy Clerk Administrator; Donald G. Christoffersen of Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Consulting Engineers; and Peter S. Popovich,of Peterson, Popovich, Knutson & Flynn, City Bond Consultant. MAYOR WOODBURN: I guess we are ready to proceed with the third assessment hearing, which is Improvement No. P-80-1. CHARLOTTE McNIESH: notice was published in and notices were mailed August 6. I have the affidavit saying that the the New Brighton Bulletin on August 5 from the post office in New Brighton on . y~. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Your Honor, I don't have a slide on this one. The improvement consisted of constructing street lighting, median islands and sidewalk along County Road E. An eight foot pedestrian sidewalk along the south side and a six foot sidewalk area extending from (inaudible) to Carroll Furniture, then a break in the sidewalk, and the sidewalk begins again at the easterly portion of McGuires' property and extends to Lexington Avenue. There was a relocation of a driveway at McGuires and construction of islands from the east to the west end and varied electrical work, plus a report by the planner - a landscaping report by the planner. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the council, the original estimated cost was $630,000. It turned out to be $516,166. If you will recall, the task force, at the feasibility hearing - prior to the feasibility hearing - recommended a 50/50 . split and that recommendation was again reiterated by the staff so that $258,083 would be raised by assessments and the City would pick up $258,083. The cost works out to $52.89 a front foot on the front foot assessments. On the acreage assessment, there are 33 acres that would be assessed at $1,173.10 per acre. We're recommending that this be spread over the ten year period as well, with the interest carrying charge of 10.01%, with the rights of prepayment as expressed earlier. MAYOR WOODBURN: I will ask the Clerk Administrator if there are any written objections or other opinions or questions. MRS. McNIESH: There are none. MAYOR WOODBURN: I will open the hearing for everyone on the floor. I hear nothing. We will move on then to the Council for their comments. Hearing no comments from the Council, I will close the hearing and ask the Council for their action. Councilman Johnson then introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolution No. 82-48 RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT NO.
