4'6 47 o Proposed for reconstruction in 2008. 48 o Work through the public process in Arden Hills to extend the project to Glenhill Road. 4 o Consistent with Roseville's Assessment Policy, 25% of Roseville's street reconstruction 50 costs would be assessed to adjacent property owners based on lot width. The Council 51 adopted an estimated assessment rate of $,32.30/ ft for this improvement. 52 53 The Arden Hills public process was completed after a public hearing held on Monday, 54 February 11, 2008. The Arden Hills City Council did not approve the extension of the 55 reconstruction project to Glenhill Road. However, they did support a joint storm sewer project 56 which would include the construction of rain gardens along the edge of the road in Arden 57 Hills. 58 We will be contacting the residents that have lots that straddle the City boundary to determine 59 a logical terminus for the reconstruction project in relationship with their property. 60 61 INTER-CITY COORDINATION CONCERNS 62 Roseville's City Attorney has advised staff that Roseville cannot construct any improvements 63 north of the Roseville city boundary without executing an agreement with the City of Arden 64 Hills that defines the improvements and how they will be funded. The attorney has also 65 advised staff that properties located within Arden Hills cannot be assessed without agreement 66 from Arden Hills City Council. As a result, we are working on an agreement which will be 67 brought to the City Council for approval at the same time as the bids are awarded for this 68 contract. This agreement will address the different inter-city coordination concerns that exist 69 in this neighborhood. 70 71 City Limits 72 This project is unique in that the city border between Roseville and Arden Hills runs mid- 73 block through Asbury Street and Ridgewood Road. There are five parcels divided by the 74 City limits, each of which have two separate tax Parcel Identification numbers (PIDs , 75 one in Arden Hills,, the other in Roseville. Property taxes for these parcels are paid to the 76 respective City in which that portion of the lot is located. These taxes are based on the 77 size of the lot. 78 79 Assessments 80 The City of Roseville and the City of Arden Hills have different funding mechanisms and 81 assessment policies for their Pavement Management Programs. We have used the 82 Ramsey County tax records to develop an equitable way to apply these policies according 83 to contributing tax base. In order to better understand the differences between the two 84 policies here is a brief summary of each City's policy.- 85 86 City of Roseville 87 Roseville's Pavement Management Program is paid for through two funding sources; the 88 City's Street Infrastructure fund and Assessments. When the program was first approved 89 by the Council in 1985, they increased the ad valorum property taxes to build up a street 90 infrastructure fund to pay for the City's portion of PMP projects.
