REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 7/24/00 ITEM NO.: �-1 Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: • �� `\�� c�- Con s en t Item Description: Declaring costs for projects to be assessed in 2000 and ordering preparation of assessment rolls Background: Each year the city holds public hearings to consider assessments for completed projects. That process usually begins in July so final consideration of individual assessments can be completed by the end of September. It is recommended that assessment hearings be held at the regularly scheduled council meeting on September 1 l, 2000. This will allow sufficient time to review the assessment rolls prior to final adoption at the September 25, 2000, regular council meeting. The projects involved in this year's assessment proceedings include: P-99-02- 19 Woodlynn Avenue, South Owasso Boulevard to Farrington Court Farrington Court, Cul-de-sac to Cul-de-sac P-99-02-22 Woodbridge Street, Woodlynn Avenue to South Owasso Boulevard Woodlynn Avenue, Rice Street to Cul-de-sac P-99-02-23 Maple Lane Court, Western Avenue to Cul-de-sac Woodbridge Street, South Owasso Boulevard to Maple Lane Woodbridge Street, County Road C2 to County Road C Marion Street, County Road C2 to County Road C Galtier Street, Iona Lane to County Road C Matilda Street, Iona Lane to County Road C Iona Lane, Galtier Street to Woodbridge Street Policy Objectives: Each year assessments are considered for projects constructed the past season. Assessment rolls must be adopted by September 252000, 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 1 in order to allow them enough time to add the assessments to property taxes. The first step in the assessment process is consideration of a resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of assessment rolls. Financial Implications: All projects are proposed to be assessed consistent with the City's assessment policy. Most of the work involves 1999 Pavement Management Program (PMP) projects for which 25% of the costs for residential street improvements and storm sewers will be assessed with the remaining portion financed by PMP general obligation bonds.
