CITY OF CENTERVILLE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Agenda Item # Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: February 26, 2020 Administration IX.1 TITLE OF ISSUE: Infrastructure Accountability Legislation Support BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: For quite some time, the League of Minnesota Cities and other organizations have been lobbying the legislature to pass a law which would allow some mechanism to charge developers for road improvements necessitated by their developments, much like exists for sewer, water, stormwater and other similar systems. Since there has not been this explicit authority, cities have made other attempts to collect the funds and have been successfully sued on several occasions. This leaves cities with alternatives such as special assessments, burdening existing taxpayers, or other options which are either untenable or unfair or both. Cities are committed to fair legislation that requires engineering studies to justify fees, much like the other utilities. COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: No direct cost. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Motion to approve Resolution 20-0XX Supporting Infrastructure Accountability.
