Declare costs to be assessed and order preparation of assessment roll BACKGROUND A portion of the costs for the 2009 PMP project are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting properties. In order to assess these costs, the City must follow the Public Hearing steps outlined in State Statute 429. The first step in the assessment process is to adopt a resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering the preparation of assessment rolls. The next step is for the City Council to adopt a resolution receiving the proposed assessment roll and setting a hearing date for the assessments. Public hearings are required in order to assess the cost of public improvements. DISCUSSION The project is proposed to be assessed consistent with the City's assessment policy, which states that 50% of the costs for roadway improvements will be assessed to residential properties, and the remaining portion financed using various City funds. The assessment policy states that the assessment shall be based on the total estimated construction cost, plus associated overhead costs. The policy also states that the City Council shall retain the right to review each project on its own merit and to deviate from any portion of the Assessment Policy Manual as it deems proper. As part of the feasibility report, staff recommended that the contractor's bid prices are used to calculate assessment rates, as opposed \ \Metro-inet\ardenhills\Admin \Council\Agendas & Packet Information \2009\04-27 -09 09Memo_2009PMP _Assessments.doc Regular\Packet Information \4-27- 2009 PMP 4/24/2009 Page 2 to the engineer's estimate, as stated in the assessment policy. The following table shows a summary of the project costs and proposed funding source, using the contractor's bid prices. Improvements Funding Source Cost Roadway PIR $ 1,188,304.44 Storm Sewer Surface Water Enterprise Fund $ 297,845.24 Sanitary Sewer Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund $ 65,943.08 Watermain Watermain Enterprise Fund $ 31,048.25 TOTAL PROJECT COST $ 1,583,141.01 Total amount to be assessed (50% of roadway costs) $ 594,152.22 Total amount to be paid by $ 988,988.79 the City Staffwould like to review the following items prior to preparing the assessment roll: Five properties in the area were listed as sub-dividable in the feasibility report and counted as two residential equivalent units (REU): 3544 North Snelling Frontage Road 1445 Forest Lane 1433 Forest Lane 1400 Forest Lane 3438 Glenarden Court Upon further review, the property at 1445 Forest Lane is not large enough to be divided into two lots that would meet the current City code. As a result, staff recommends that it be assessed as one unit. Two of the property owners listed above have submitted written requests to re-evaluate the consideration of their properties as 2 REUs, because the existing homes would have to be removed in order to subdivide the property. Three of the four properties currently identified as 2 REUs would not be able to subdivide their parcels without removing their homes. There have been no similar instances on recent projects. The City owned parcel (Freeway Park), which is identified as a tax-exempt equivalent unit (TEU), has been converted to one REU based on the same subdividing criteria used to determine the residential lot units. Past practice has been to not include City Parcels in the Assessment Roll. Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on how to proceed with assessments for the above mentioned parcels. 2009 PMP 4/24/2009 Page 3 SCHEDULE Assessment rolls must be adopted no later than September 28, 2009, to allow for a 30-day pre-payment period. Following the pre-payment period, assessment rolls are certified to Ramsey County for collection. The County requires that this certification be done by November 15 in order to allow them enough time to add the assessments to property taxes. The City plans to complete the certification by the end of October. As a result, we recommend the following schedule for the 2009 assessment process: April 27 Resolution declaring costs to be assessed, ordering preparation of assessment rolls May 11 Resolution receiving assessment rolls, setting hearing dates May 13 Notice of hearing published in the Shoreview-Arden Hills Bulletin May 13 Mail notices to affected property owners June 8 Assessment hearing June 8 Hearing date for final adoption of assessment roll June 9 to July 8 Prepayment of assessments (30 days) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION Approval of Resolution 2009-008: Declaring cost to be assessed and ordering preparation of proposed assessment roll for the 2009 Pavement Management Program. .~ I..IIIS MEMORANDUM DATE: April 23, 2009 TO: Mayor and City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Kristine Giga, Civil Engineer SUBJECT: 2009 Pavement Management Program- Glenarden Neighborhood .
