Council continued the hearing and final action to the May 29, 2007, meeting. DISCUSSION The proposed assessment roll includes 103 properties. At this time, we have received 11 assessment payments. At the May 14, 2007 City Council meeting, eight oral testimonies relating to seven properties were provided at the hearing and three written testimonies were received. Two ofthe written testimonies were provided orally at the hearing. Copies ofthe written testimonies have been attached. The following is a description of each of the objections or concerns raised, followed by a staff analysis and recommendation. 1) Oral comment: 1465 Floral Drive, Evelyn Hansen Ms. Hansen lives on Floral Drive on a parcel that, according to City Code, could be further subdivided. She indicated that her proposed assessment is for land that she has no intention Df subdividing, and requested a reconsideration of this assessment. She spoke again later in the evening to comment about the timing of the communication, as well as the tone. \\RVNAS 1 \AHdata$\PR&PW\Engineering\2007\Council_Actions\5-29-07Memo2007PMP _AssessmentHearing.doc 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 2 Staff Analvsis: The City Council could choose to do one of the following: a.) Leave the assessment as is; b.) Defer the assessment until the property is sold or subdivided. The Assessment Policy states that ifland is deleted from an assessment roll, "no development of that property shall be permitted, nor shall any physical connection to the City's utility or drainage facilities be made by any development on that property until the assessment or cDnnection fees are paid." Staff recommendation: Defer the assessment on the property until it is sold or subdivided. 2) OraVwritten comment: 1273 County Road E a. Patrick Flaherty Mr. Flaherty stated that he is filing an objection, because he feels the assessment will not increase the market value of his real estate. He is not in favor of the 70% assessment rate that is identified for cDmmercial properties in the Assessment Policy; he does not feel it is a fair percentage. He indicated that problems have arisen during construction: he feels the condition of their parking lot has worsened from the contractor using the lot to store their equipment, their electrical wires providing lighting to their parking lots was damaged, and some of their irrigation lines were damaged. He asked that the City Council consider assessing Flaherty's for one lot only. Flaherty's owns three parcels within the project and per the Assessment Policy, is proposed to be assessed for all three parcels. b. Dan Flaherty Mr. Dan Flaherty also spoke on behalf of Flaherty' s Arden Bowl. He was concerned about damage to their property, irrigation system, electrical wires, and parking lot, in more detail. He indicated that the contractor had asked to store some material on their parking lot, and had showed them where to do so. He stated that the following day he also found that they were storing equipment on their lot. He provided City staff with photographs of the site. He stated also had not received notification prior to the beginning of construction. Mr. Flaherty spoke again later in the evening, commenting that perhaps the condition of the watermain contributed to the deterioration of the street. He also noted that only portions of the curb were replaced along the street. Staff analvsis: City staff was not aware of the concerns of the property owners until the day of the assessment hearing. Staff met with the Flahertys and the contractor on site on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 to discuss the construction related concerns. It is the contractor's responsibility to gain permission from private property owners to use any portion of land outside of City right-of way. The City's contract provisions indemnify the City from any damage the contractor does to private property, including private utilities in the right of way. Staff provided this information to those present at the meeting. Staff also has pictures of the parking lot prior to start of construction to assist in identifying damage. 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 3 Chapter 429 of state statute has two major points to consider when justifying assessments. First, the assessment has to treat similar properties equally, and second the amount of the assessment has to be equal to or less than the resulting increase in property value. All properties in the commercial area are proposed to be assessed the same amount. According to Ramsey County records, the average property value in the area is approximately $14.32 per square fODt. The property value for Flaherty's three parcels totals $1,692,400. Their proposed assessment is less than two percent of the property value. While two of the three parcels owned by the Flahertys are parking lots, they would not have sufficient parking on the parcel which houses the bowling alley. With the two additional parcels, Flaherty's Arden Bowl exceeds its parking requirements. If either of these parcels were sold, it is likely they would be redeveloped to a different commercial use; the selling price would reflect this change in use. By improving the road to the level that this project has done, we believe there is a direct benefit to property owners. These improvements will extend the life of the street 15 to 20 years, and was done at a significantly reduced cost than it would have been to reconstruct the street entirely. Staff recommendation: Staff committed to facilitating discussions between the owner and contractor to address the owner's concerns; however, it is up to the contractor and property owner to corne to an agreement on the necessary repairs. The 70% assessment rate fDr commercial properties is consistent with the City's Assessment Policy. The policy does not recognize the current use of that property, only the zoning. Staff does not recommend deviation from the policy. 3) Oral comment: 1549 Briarknoll Drive, Mike Moghaddam Mr. Moghaddam indicated that he did not receive any notices prior to the assessment hearing notification. He expressed concern that his tax money was not being wisely spent, and he does not have the money to pay for this assessment. He also stated that the proposed interest rate is incredibly high. 4) Oral comment: 3724 Brighton Way, Jens Breiland Mr. Breiland indicated that he also did not receive prior notification that included information about the amount of the assessment. He stated that he felt the condition of his road was fine, and questioned whether this project was a wise use of money. 5) Oral/written comment: 1518 Briarknoll Drive, Nicholas Walker Mr. Walker stated that his street was in the same condition as the neighboring streets which were seal coated, and asked why his street was not just a seal coat as well. His second concern was that Briarknoll Drive is used as a cut-through street by people who do not live in the neighborhDod, and asked that a reduced assessment rate be considered as a result. Mr. Walker spoke again later, commenting that several utility repairs have been completed along Briarknoll Drive in the recent past. 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 4 6) Oral comment: 1537 Briarknoll Drive, Mark Jedlinski Mr. Jedlinksi echoed previous concerns regarding notification. He stated that he owns property in Fridley, which was assessed $1800 last year for a complete street reconstruction project. The sanitary sewer repair is right in front of his house; he commented that the contractors indicated the quality of the original construction seemed substandard. Staff analvsis of notification concerns (3-6): Many of the residents who spoke were concerned about notification. Since the feasibility report was ordered by City Council on October 30, 2006, we have mailed out three notices regarding the project. City staff held a neighborhood meeting on December 12, 2006, which eleven people attended. The notice for this meeting was mailed out on November 29, 2006, to all residents currently listed on the proposed assessment roll. As this was not an official public hearing, an affidavit of mailing was not generated. A public hearing for the project was held on January 29,2007, which was then continued to the February 12, 2007 City Council meeting. The public hearing was posted in the City's legal newspaper on January 24, January 31 and February 7, and individual letters were mailed to the residents on January 12, 2007. The affidavit of mailing is attached. Eight residents spoke on behalf of nine properties within the proposed project. The notice for the assessment hearing was mailed out to residents on April 26, 2007. The affidavit of mailing is attached. Copies of the letters sent to the residents are attached. While the correspondence did not provide specific assessment rates per unit prior to the notice of assessment hearing and amount of assessment, the letters did state that estimated assessment rates were available in the feasibility report and would be discussed at each meeting. The correspondence also directed residents to the feasibility report on the City's website or fDr review at City Hall, or to contact staff with questions. This is consistent with correspondence the City has had on past pavement management projects. In regards to the tone of the correspondence, we use notices and language for public meeting mailings as recommended by the League DfMinnesota Cities Local Improvement Guide. Because of the legal nature of these proceedings, we would be concerned about deviating from what is recommended as standard language. Since the project began, we have mailed out two newsletters, and provide an update on the web site as new information becomes available, or on a bi-weekly basis. Staff recommendation: Based on the comments received, staff is willing to include estimated rates in earlier correspondence on future pavement management projects. However, the City Attorney has expressed some concern in doing this, because the scope ofthe project and 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 5 subsequent costs may change throughout the pre-design and final design process. As a result, residents may feel misguided if estimated and actual rates differ. Staff analvsis of financing options (3-6): In an effort to alleviate the financial burden of the assessment, the City Council could choose to make the following changes for this project: a.) The length of the payment period could be extended to ten (10) years, as opposed to the five (5) years as stated in the Assessment Policy. b.) The Assessment Policy was adopted when interest rates were at an all time low. The City's investments have about a 4.5% annualized rate of return. Council could adopt an interest rate set at 2% above this rate, which would recover the costs of carrying the debt and the administrative charges incurred from the county, auditors and staff time to track c.) The Assessment Policy states that the payments shall be equal principle payments. This means the principal payment is the same every year (total assessment divided by number of years in the payment period), but the interest payment the total interest on the balance of the principle in a given year. The payments will decrease every year, as the balance will become less, and interest to be paid will then be lower as well. Changing the payment plan to equal annual installments, the payment would be equalized for the term and more manageable for residents, as they could budget the same amount of money for a payment each year. One thing to note is that with an equal annual installment over an extended payment period, residents would pay more in interest than with equal principle payments. d.) The Assessment Policy does have an option for senior citizens, which was described at the May 14,2007 City Council meeting. For this deferral, residents must be 65 years of age or older and must establish economic hardship (an annual gross income of less than 50% of Ramsey County median household income, which is $45,722 based on the 2000 census.) Applicants need to fill out a deferral form available at City Hall and provide supporting tax documents for City approval. If approved, the assessments are deferred with interest until the property is sold. This ensures that the city receives their money, but also helps those on a fixed income while they are still in their home. Staff recommendation: Approve modifications a), b) and c) as described above. Support senior deferrals (d) to those who are eligible and request it. 7) Oral comment: 1556 Briarknoll Drive, Judy Ophaug Ms. Ophaug asked whether historic information was available as to the amount of past assessments for similar projects. She also noted the overhead included in the assessment rate seemed high. Staff analvsis: The City of Arden Hills has not had a project in which a full depth pavement replacement was completed as is being constructed on Briarlmoll Drive. The last mill and overlay project completed by the City was in 2003; this project consisted of a six foot (6') edge mill and two- 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 6 inch (2") overlay. At this time, assessments were based on front footage, and the assessment rate was $12.00 per foot, or $1,140 for a lot 95 feet wide. If this dollar amount were recalculated in 2007 dollars, this would equal $22.65 per foot, or $2,152 for a lot 95 feet wide. This is comparable to the proposed assessment rate for the eight foot (8') edge mill and two-inch (2") overlay being constructed on Lametti Lane, Lametti Circle and Karth Lake Circle, which is $2,061.52 per unit. Staff reduced the percentage used to calculate the overhead that is included in the assessment rate, from 37% to 32%. The Assessment Policy calls for 20% in design and construction engineering fees. The City of Roseville's proposal for the project was based on 15% for engineering fees, resulting in the reduced percentage. Staffrecommendation: Staff recommends no change based on these findings. 8) Written comment: 1556 Briarknoll Circle, Bob and Lori Sundberg The Sundbergs provided a written objection, basing their appeal on the following: . The assessment amount exceeds the increase in market value due to the project; . The estimated street rating for Briarknoll Circle is inaccurate; . The assessment amount is not uniformly applied to residential properties within the proj ect area; . The frequency of assessable events exceeds the prevailing standard for improvements. Staff analvsis: Chapter 429 of state statute has two major points to consider when justifying assessments. First, the assessment has to treat similar properties equally, and second the amount of the assessment has to be equal to or less than the resulting increase in property value. All properties in the neighborhood are being assessed the same amount. When selecting streets to include in the 2007 Pavement Management Program, the City Council stressed the need to mill and overlay streets before they required complete reconstruction. Streets rated less than 65 are candidates for mill and overlay work. The streets in the Briarknoll neighborhood were rated under 65. The types of distresses, including signs cracking, edge deterioration and moderate to severe block and alligator cracking, indicated deficiencies in the structure, which was confirmed by soil borings. To rebuild the structure, staff recommended a full depth pavement replacement. According to Ramsey County records, the property value ofthe homes in the area begin at about $340,000. The proposed assessment is less than one percent ofthe property value. By improving the road to the level that this project has done, we believe there is a direct benefit to property owners. These improvements will extend the life of the street a minimum of20 years, and was done at a third ofthe cost it wDuld have been to reconstruct the street entirely. In contrast, the mill and overlay that was performed on the street in 1993 lasted only 14 years. Ifwe had delayed this project even five years, costs would have increased. Staff recommendation: Staff recommends no change based on these findings. 2007 PMP 5/24/2007 Page 7 SCHEDULE The following is a proposed revised schedule for 2007 assessments: May 29 Council adopts assessment roll May 30 to June 28 Assessment pre-payment period at Arden Hills City Hall (30 days) June 29 to November 14 Assessment payment period at Arden Hills City Hall with interest accrued to date November 15 Certification of final assessment roll to Ramsey County RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION Staff recommends that the City Council continue and close the public hearing for the 2007 PMP- Special Assessments. Staff also recommends approval of Resolution 07-55: Resolution Adopting Special Assessment Roll for the 2007 PMP Improvements. If the City Council makes a motion to defer one or more assessments, staff will prepare the necessary resolution for adoption at the June 11,2007 City Council meeting. lfthe City Council feels additional information is needed prior to adopting the assessment roll, this action may be tabled to the June 11,2007 City Council meeting. ~ ~~HILLS CITY OF ARDEN HILLS COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 07-55 RESOLUTION ADOPTING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE 2007 PMP IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the Council has met and heard and passed upon all objections to the proposed assessment for the improvement ofthe City of Arden Hills 2007 Pavement Management Program improvement of the following streets: Brighton Way, Lametti Lane, Lametti Circle, Connelly Avenue, Briarknoll Circle, Briarknoll Drive, Dawn Circle East, Royal Lane, and Karth Lake Circle, for the maintenance of the street by the milling, paving, concrete curb and gutter repair, utility repair, and necessary appurtenances, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and the City Council that: 1.

This information comes from the League of Minnesota Local Improvement Guide, pages 24 and 25, and Statutes 429.061 from the Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes. Specifically, the question of whether the council can waive the interest charge after the 30 day period, if not addressed in this literature. I have called the Research Department at the League of Minnesota Cities, and they are looking into this for us and will get back to us with an answer. It seems from reading the statute that the Council may determine any interest rate within reason, but the option of not charging interest after the 30 days, may mean that the entire assessment period would not have interest charged. Staff anticipates an answer from the League of Minnesota Cities by the Council meeting on Tuesday evening. Minn. Stat ~ 429.061, subd. 2 Minn. Stat.. ~ 429.061 24 /- ('r) {! UX!tJJ JnLP((J-WJ/((fjLf 6tf.l1lt Whether the proceeding at the adjourned hearing will bring the assessment determination within the quoted phrase, without the use of an impartial reviewing officer or body, remains to be seen. The procedure will at least save the council from the need for a more expert determination until a property owner objects at the original assessment proceeding. Another possibility is available under the local improvement code. The law has provided that the city could not calculate the total expense of the improvement until after the city had let a contract or ordered the work done by day labor. Only then could the city propose the assessment roll. Under an amendment, the city may now calculate the expense at any time, and the council may determine the assessment amount and prepare the assessment roll. It is now possible to advertise bids and allow sufficient time after the closing date to permit the city to prepare the assessment roll on the basis of the bid, and hold a hearing on that basis. Alternatively, the council might, when the financial situation warrants, proceed with the proposed assessment on the basis of estimates, with a reserve fund from general taxes and other uncommitted sources of revenue making up any difference between the assessments and the project cost. This method may be particularly attractive if the city follows the policy of paying some substantial part of improvement costs from tax revenues. Either method avoids the danger of proceeding on estimates, and having to make a substantial reassessment when actual costs turn out to be in excess of the estimates. If a reserve fund from general revenues is available, no reassessment will be necessary unless the cost is less than estimates, and no one is likely to object when that process results in lower special assessments. H. Interest limits on special assessments The statutes no longer impose limits on the interest rates cities may charge on special assessments. This is true both for local improvement projects where the city uses the assessments to repay the bonds it issued for the project, and for special assessment projects the city finances with general fund moneys without using bonds. The 1987 Legislature gave city councils authority to set the interest rate' on special assessments in the resolution making the asse'ssment. ',. Soine charter cities may still be subject to a charter assessment limit, however. League of Miuuesota Cities Minn. Stat. ~ 475.55 This same 1987 law also removed all limits on the interest cities may pay on bonds and other obligations. The law now specifies that "interest on obligations issued after April 1, 1986, is not subject to any limitation on rate or amount." In effect, the market, rather than a statutory limit, determines the interest rate cities will pay on bonds. However, cities are free to set the interest rate on special assessments at whatever rate the council deems ajJpropriate. The Legislature was obviously comfortable that city councils would act reasonably and responsibly in setting interest rates, and decided that no statutory restrictions would be needed. It seems equally clear that if the Legislature were to perceive that cities are abusing this discretion, it would not hesitate to reinstate limits. In setting interest rates on assessments, the council should make sure there is a reasonable relationship between the assessment interest rate and the bond interest rate if the city issued bonds to finance the ' project. If the city finances the project with funds on hand without using bonds, the council will want to look at the interest rate the city . would otherwise have earned on the funds. In either cas~; the council ; may reasoiiablyset the assessment interest rate somewhat higher in order to offset the additional bookkeeping and other costs involved in carrying the assessments.:However, if the spread between the interest cost to the city and the assessment interest rate becomes too great, the Legislature may be convinced assessment interest rates need to once again be regulated by statute. I. Use of special assessments to collect current service charges Minn. Stat. ~ 429.101 The code also authorizes the council to provide for the collection of certain enumerated special charges as a special assessment against the property benefited. Special charges that may be assessed include those for: Minn. Stat ~ 429.101, subd. . 1(0) Snow, ice, or rubbish removal from sidewalks. Minn. Stat. ~ 429.101, slibd. . l(b) Weed elimination from streets and private property. Minn. Stat ~ 429.101, subd. . l(c) Removal or elimination of public health or safety hazards from private property, except hazardous buildings as defined by Minn. Stat. SS 463.15 to 463.26.

Subdivision I. Calculation, notice. At any time after the expense incurred or to be incurred in making an improvement shall be calculated under the direction of the council, the council shall determine by resolution the amount of the total expense the municipality will pay, other than the amount, if any, which it will pay as a property owner, and the amount to be assessed. If a county proposes to assess within the boundaries of a city for a county state-aid highway or county highway, including curbs, gutters, and storm sewers, the resolution must include the portion of the cost proposed to be assessed within the city. The county shall forward the resolution to the city and it may not proceed with the assessment procedure nor may the county allocate any cost under this section for property within the city unless the city council adopts the resolution approving the assessment. Thereupon the clerk, with the assistance of the engineer or other qualified person selected by the council, shall calculate the proper amount to be specially assessed for the improvement against every assessable lot, piece or parcel of land, without regard to cash valuation, in accordance with the provisions of section 429.051. The proposed assessment roll shall be filed with the clerk and be open to public inspection. The clerk shall thereupon, under the council's direction, publish notice that the council will meet to consider the proposed assessment. Such notice shall be published in the newspaper at least once and shall be mailed to the owner of each parcel described in the assessment roll. For the purpose of giving mailed notice under this subdivision, owners shall be those shown to be such on the records of the county auditor or, in any county where tax statements are mailed by the county treasurer, on the records of the county treasurer; but other appropriate records may be used for this purpose. Such publication and mailing shall be no less than two weeks prior to such meeting of the council. Except as to the owners of tax exempt property or property taxes on a gross earnings basis, every property owner whose name does not appear on the records of the county auditor or the county treasurer shall be deemed to have waived such mailed notice unless the owner has requested in writing that the county auditor or county treasurer, as the case may be, include the name on the records for such purpose. Such notice shall state the date, time, and place of such meeting, the general nature of the improvement, the area proposed to be assessed, the total amount of the proposed assessment, that the proposed assessment roll is on the file with the clerk, and that written or oral objections thereto by any property owner will be considered. The notice must also state that no appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted pursuant to subdivision 2, unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The notice shall also state that an owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the mayor or clerk of the municipality within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the mayor or clerk. http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin/getpub.php?type=s&num=429 .061 &year=2006 5/24/2007 429.061, Minnesota Statutes 2006 The notice shall also inform property owners of the provisions of sections 435.193 to 435.195 and the existence of any deferment procedure established pursuant thereto in the municipality. In addition, the notice mailed to the owner must state in clear language the following information: (1) the amount to be specially assessed against that particular lot, piece, or parcel of land; (2) adoption by the council of the proposed assessment may be taken at the hearing; (3) the right ofthe property owner to prepay the entire assessment and the person to whom prepayment must be made; (4) whether partial prepayment of the assessment has been authorized by ordinance; (5) the time within which prepayment may be made without the assessment of interest; and (6) the rate of interest to be accrued if the assessment is not prepaid within the required time period. Subd. 2. Adoption; interest. At such meeting or at any adjoumment thereof the council shall hear and pass upon all objections to the proposed assessment, whether presented orally or in writing. The council may amend the proposed assessment as to any parcel and by resolution adopt the same as the special assessment against the lands named in the assessment roll. Notice of any adjournment of the hearing shall be adequate if the minutes of the meeting so adjourned show the time and place when and where the hearing is to be continued. The council may consider any objection to the amount of a proposed assessment as to a specific parcel of land at an adjourned hearing upon further notice to the affected property owner as it deems advisable. At the adjourned hearing the councilor a committee of it may hear further written or oral testimony on behalf of the objecting property owner and may consider further written or oral testimony from appropriate city officials and other witnesses as to the amount of the assessment. The councilor committee shall prepare a record of the proceedings at the adjourned hearing and written findings as to the amount of the assessment. The amount of the assessment as [mally determined by the council shall become a part of the adopted assessment roll. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted under this section unless written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. All objections to the assessments not received at the assessment hearing in the manner prescribed by this subdivision are waived, unless the failure to object at the assessment hearing is due to a reasonable cause. If the adopted assessment differs from the proposed assessment as to any particular lot, piece, or parcel of land, the clerk must mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessment. Owners must also be notified by mail of any changes adopted by the council in interest rates or prepayment requirements from those contained in the notice of the proposed assessment. The assessment, with accruing interest, shall be a lien upon all private and public property included therein, from the date of the resolution adopting the assessment, concurrent with general taxes; but the lien shall not be enforceable against public property as long as it is publicly owned, and during such period the assessment shall be recoverable from the owner of such property only in the manner and to the extent provided in section 435.19. Unless otherwise provided in the resolution, all assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over such period, not exceeding 30 years, as the resolution determines, payable on the first Monday in January in each year, but the number of installments need not be uniform for all assessments included in a single assessment roll if a uniform criterion for determining the number of installments is provided by the resolution. Assessments on property located in a targeted neighborhood as defined in Laws 1987, chapter 386, article 6, section 4, may be payable in http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin/getpub.php?type=s&num=429 .061 &year=2006 Page 2 of5 5/24/2007 429.061, Minnesota Statutes 2006 variable annual installments if the resolution provides for a variable payment. The first installment of each assessment shall be included in the first tax rolls completed after its adoption and shall be payable in the same year as the taxes contained therein; except that the payment of the first installment of any assessment levied upon unimproved property may be deferred until a designated future year, or until the platting of the property or the construction of improvements thereon, upon such terms and conditions and based upon such standards and criteria as may be provided by resolution of the council. If special assessments against the property have been deferred pursuant to this subdivision, the governmental unit shall record with the county recorder in the county in which the property is located a certificate containing the legal description of the affected property and of the amount deferred. In any event, every assessment the payment of which is so deferred, when it becomes payable, shall be divided into a number of installments such that the last installment thereof will be payable not more than 30 years after the levy of the assessment. All assessments shall bear interest at such rate as the resolution determines. To the first installment of each assessment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from a date specified in the resolution levying the assessment, not earlier than the date of the resolution, until December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, and to each subsequent installment shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments; or alternatively, any assessment may be made payable in equal annual installments including principal and interest, each in the amount annually required to pay the principal over such period with interest at such rate as the resolution determines, not exceeding the maximum period and rate specified above. In the latter event no prepayment shall be accepted under subdivision 3 without payment of all installments due to and including December 31 of the year of prepayment, together with the original principal amount reduced only by the amounts of principal included in such installments, computed on an annual amortization basis. When payment of an assessment is deferred, as authorized in this subdivision, interest thereon for the period of deferment may be made payable annually at the same times as the principal installments of the assessment would have been payable if not deferred; or interest for this period may be added to the principal amount of the assessment when it becomes payable; or, if so provided in the resolution levying the assessment, interest thereon to December 31 of the year before the first installment is payable may be forgiven. Subd. 3. Transmitted to auditor, prepayment. After the adoption of the assessment, the clerk shall transmit a certified duplicate of the assessment roll with each installment, including interest, set forth separately to the county auditor of the county to be extended on the proper tax lists of the county; but in lieu of such certification, the council may in its discretion direct the clerk to file all assessment rolls in the clerk's office and to certif'y annually to the county auditor, on or before November 30 in each year, the total amount of installments of and interest on assessments on each parcel ofland in the municipality which are to become due in the following year. If any installment and interest has not been so certified prior to the year when it is due, the clerk shall forthwith certif'y the same to the county auditor for collection in the then succeeding year; and if the municipality has issued improvement warrants to fmance the improvement, it shall payout of its general funds into the fund of the improvement interest on the then unpaid balance of the assessment for the year or years during which the collection of such installment is postponed. All assessments and interest thereon shall be collected and paid over in the same manner as other. municipal taxes. ~hr;p.~n~fgf~?~gWg~mso.~~~es~~.~.m~~~~J~~.timrP~ior t?~7l"tjfis~ti?f1?t1:l1~~~~rS~m~?t%t)1r[~stiI)~f~gmg~fJe~fr?ft?th~..8P'~.ntya,~4it()~,...pay.tl1e. >>,h.ql~pfthe .asse~.slllent onsu8hproperty,>>,ithintere~t accrued t9 tl1~date. of Pllyment, to the http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/binlgetpub.php?type=s&nurn=429 .061 &year=2006 Page 3 of5 5/24/2007 429.061, Minnesota Statutes 2006 muljipipa]tfe;l.sl.ii#,excllpfthatll.b.interestshallliepha.rgeq if the el1tire a.ssessrnel1t is paid withinr/ ~';;';:;":':::""-?':':J:,>';;-:'>::;:-:':':/:>:::::'-:;;"::",::,::;,:,,,:<::,;::,::,_':':'_::::':.:;,..e:,-:':,::,-",:,'"_,:,:;:;;,",-""",::"'",-,,,,'""-'-':"'-"-':":_"""'-"-'::"":-"'::"""',-:_":::',""',',.""'.'__','.' ." -.- '," "-',, ',',"'" """" :) 39i9~~~<f1"Bm;.!\ir~92Rfig2ifBrrr2f;<~~'iriser~li~<Br.~r~~~r~g~~0i~r~'(1~r~~r~i.m~~~1~;i!: !~r(g0i0r;.t0(~82rm~r0;f;;.gf~~r;r~~'gr.rl'?~~fg~ri~~~MT.rfigf~R.11}E2j.~.jl'~jmh~X.~pl~yied.1 ~~~g<~~~7~*mhlit~;:~~~~Ri~~s~~~sl11~Ilt!e11}ainingdUe with jnte~estaccmed to Decembe~ 31 ; of W mr.{'~~fN~Bi~B~~j9l?IrP!l:.nn~Rti~m~9.e~jlfthe assessment roll is retained by the municipal clerk, the installment and interest in process of collection on the current tax list shall be paid to the county treasurer and the remaining principal balance of the assessment, if paid, shall be paid to the municipal treasurer. The council may by ordinance authorize the partial prepayment of assessments, in such manner as the ordinance may provide, prior to certification of the assessment or the first installment thereof to the county auditor. Subd. 4. Collection, tax exempt property. On the confirmation of any assessments the clerk shall mail to the county auditor a notice specifying the amount payable by any county, to the clerk or recorder of any other political subdivision a notice specifying the amount payable by the political subdivision and to the owner of any right-of-way, at its principal office in the state, a notice specifying the amount payable on account of any right-of-way. The amount payable on account of any right-of-way or public property shall be payable to the municipality's treasurer and shall be payable in like installments and with like interest and penalties as provided for in reference to the installments payable on account of assessable real property, except that interest accruing shall not begin to run until the notice provided in this subdivision has been properly given and 30 days thereafter have elapsed. The governing body of any such political subdivision shall provide for the payment of these amounts and shall take appropriate action to that end. If the assessment is not paid in a single installment, the municipal treasurer shall annually mail to the owner of any right-of-way and, as long as the property is publicly owned, to the owner of any public property a notice stating that an installment is due and should be paid to the municipal treasurer of the municipality which levied the special assessment. The municipality may collect the amount due on account of the right-of-way of any railroad or privately owned public utility by distress and sale of personal property in the manner provided by law in case of taxes levied upon personal property or by suit brought to enforce the collection of this indebtedness unless a different method of collecting such amounts is provided for by any contract between the owner of any right-of-way and the municipality. Subd. 5. Special assessments; administrative expenses. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, a municipality shall pay to the county auditor all administrative expenses incurred by the county under subdivision 3 for each special assessment of any local improvement certified by the municipality to the county auditor.

Tuesdav. December 12. 2006 Dear Property Owner: As part of the City of Arden Hills' ongoing street maintenance program, residential streets which have curb and gutter but have a poor driving surface are improved using a mill and overlay process. This process usually consists of grinding a portion of the existing surface off the roadway and replacing it with a new blacktop driving surface. Portions of more deteriorated streets are totally removed and replaced. As part of the process, sunken or badly deteriorated curbs are replaced. Minor utility repairs are also scheduled.

This process usually consists of grinding all or a portion of the existing surface off the roadway and replacing it with a new blacktop driving surface. As part of the process, sunken or badly deteriorated curbs will be replaced. Minor utility repairs are also scheduled. The City Council approved the award to the Contractor, Midwest Asphalt, at the March 26, 2007 Council Meeting. Work in your neighborhood should begin within a month. To following streets are included in this project: Briarknoll Circle (Briarknoll Drive to cul- de- sac) Briarknoll Drive (N. Snelling to Norma Avenue) Connelly Avenue (off County Road E) Royal Lane (Floral Drive to Norma Avenue) Karth Lake Circle (Hamline to cul- de- sac) Brighton Way (off New Brighton Blvd) Lametti Circle (Lametti Lane to cul- de- sac) Lametti Lane (Old Snelling to cul- de- sac) Dawn Circle East (Norma Avenue to cul- de- sac) If your street is not included in the above list, it is not included in this contract. In the interest of providing information to all property owners impacted by this project, this newsletter is also being mailed to residents on surrounding streets. Survey Markers are used in order to perform the project construction. Engineers place a series of survey markers for the Contractor to measure from. Typically these markers are offset several feet from the object or point they refer to so that they are not disturbed during the construction process. As a result, these offset markers are often placed well into resident's yard. Please notify Baron Behning, Project Coordinator, of any stakes that have been moved inadvertently. Safety Your assistance in maintaining a safe work area is necessary and important. The size, weight, noise and dust created by construction traffic make it difficult for workers tD watch onlDokers. Heavy equipment operators must concentrate on the job at hand and may not notice children playing near or behind equipment. Residents should use caution at all times while driving through the constructiDn zone and be alert for moving equipment, holes, trenches and other hazards in the work zone. Please remind children to stay clear of the construction area and equipment both during working and non-working hours. Access The construction project will be staged so that residents and emergency vehicles will have access at all times. Questions? The work in Arden Hills has been combined with similar cDnstruction work in the City of Roseville. The City of RDseville Engineering Department has developed the project plans and specifications with the assistance of Arden Hills staff. We look forward to working with you on this project. As this project progresses we will keep you informed through newsletters and through contact on the job site. We will also post information Dn the City's website: www.ci.arden-hills.mn.us. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please do not hesitate to contact us. We will work together with you and the contractor to complete this project in a timely manner. ~ rt\~HILLS 2007 PMP Project Update NumbeI 2 May 1,2007 Project Schedule The contractDrs are progressing ahead of schedule.
