'Esta6[isliecf 1857 1880 :Main Street . Centerm(re,:M7{ 55038 (651) 429.3232 . J'mc (651) 429.8629 August 19, 2004 Executive Title AITN: Casey RE: 7046 Brian Drive (pIN #23-31-22-14-0057) The City released a 2004 Residential Street Improvements Feasibility Report in December 2003 and ordered the project February 25, 2004. Since this time, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Johnson (owners of 7046 Brian Drive) have appealed in writing the Estimated Special Assessment dollar amount of $5,633.00 fur Storm Sewer ($946.00), Street ($2,719.00), Curb & Gutter ($1,968.00). Mr. & Mrs. Johnson have contended that the improvements were previously placed and they were assessed for same. City records indicate that some of these same services have been installed previously (1996-7); however, the assessment was not placed on the Johnson's parcel for same and City records do not indicate that pre-payment or payment in full at any time was received from the Johnson's for this assessment. The City Attorney, Mr. Jim Hoeft, (763) .783- 5122 and City Council both have directed staff to place this original assessment ($1,644.91) on the parcel plus compounded annual interest of 8% which was the original interest rate approved at the adoption of the assessment roll public hearing in 1996. The compounded interest would run from 1997 - 2004. The City Council is very aware of the Johnson's dilemma; however, no motions have been made to decrease the original estimated amount of $5,633 to a lesser amount and this consideration will not be addressed until the public hearing to consider adoption of the assessment roll in October or November, 2004. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Moore-Sykes or City Attorney Hoeft. Sincerely, ~~~ Teresa Bender City Clerk
