Page 3 of 3 P OLICY O BJECTIVE 75 This policy is to be used as a guide by the City of Roseville when preparing assessment rolls, to assure 76 uniform and consistent treatment of affected properties. It is the general policy of the City of Roseville 77 to assess all affected properties according to policy without regard to funding source. 78 Special assessments are a charge imposed on properties for a particular improvement that benefits the 79 owners of those selected properties. The authority to use special assessments originates in the state 80 constitution which allows the state legislature to give cities and other governmental units the authority 81 “to levy and collect assessments for local improvements upon property benefited thereby.” The 82 legislature confers that authority to cities in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. 83 The assessment policy will be adopted through resolution. This new resolution will supersede the 84 following existing City Assessment Policy resolutions: 85  RESOLUTION 7506: Resolution Authorizing Amendm ent And Consolidation Of All Previously 86 Adopted Special Assessment Policies Into One Resolution (5/9/83) 87  RESOLUTION 8012: Resolution Authorizing Amendi ng Section 2 (B) Of Previously Adopted 88 Assessment Policies Identified In Resolution No. 7506 By Eliminating This Section On 89 Assessment Rates (9/22/86) 90  RESOLUTION 8995: Resolution Amending Assessment Policy (9/27/93) 91  RESOLUTION 9703: Approval Of Revision To The Existing Assessment Policy To Defer 92 Assessments To Open Space Properties (10/25/99) 93 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 94 Approve Resolution Adopting City Assessment Policy. 95 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 96 Approve Resolution Adopting City Assessment Policy 97 Prepared by: Debra Bloom, City Engineer Attachments: Attachment A: Draft Special Assessment Policy Attachment B: Previous Assessment Resolutions Attachment C: Resolution
