MINUTES APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 2 APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR HARDSHIP DEFERRAL OF ASSESSMENT FOR 1 ~1~ STREET IMPROVEMENT Council considered a request for hardship deferral of both the principal and interest on the assessment to be levied against the property at 1739 N. Fry St. for the 1991 Street Improvement project. Some concern was expressed relating to the collection mechanism to be implemented by Ramsey County to insure eventual collection of both the principal and interest. Staff will contact the Ramsey County Assessment Department regarding the matter. Jacobs then moved adoption of Resolution R-91-24 which carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-91-24 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS APPROVING DEFERRED ASSESSMENTS (BOTH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST) DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA FOR CLEVELAND AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Hoyt explained that the net assessment to the University for the Cleveland Avenue Project is $200,000 and that the University presently has $119,593 available for funding the project leaving a balance of $80,887 required to pay the net assessment. She asked Council's direction for proceeding with guranteeing funding of the balance. Following a discussion regarding the rationale behind the City's Assessment Policy relating to assessment of tax exempt properties, Hoyt was directed to apply the policy as written and invoice the University at the appropriate time. REQUEST FROM REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD TO REROUTE THE ROSEVILLE AREA CIRCULATOR TO ACCOMODATE MORE FALCON HEIGHTS RESIDENTS Council considered a request from Len Simich, Regional Transit Board, to allow the Roseville Area Circulator to be routed east on Roselawn to West Snelling Service Road then through the Maple Knoll neighborhood and down Fry St. to Larpenteur. Council agreed that by previously granting the residents' request to retain their 30 foot streets rather than widening them as originally planned for the 1991 construction, makes routing a bus through the area unacceptable. Council had no objection to routing the bus east on Roselawn, south on West Snelling Service Road to Larpenteur and west on Larpenteur. This would accomodate the apartment dwellers on Fry Street and Larpenteur Avenue who had apparently requested the Circulator service. SELECTION OF STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE FALCON HEIGHTS/ROSEVILLE STUDY The selection of two Councilmembers to serve on the Falcon Heights/Roseville Study Steering Committee was briefly discussed after which Ciernia was designated representative and Gehrz was designated as alternate to the Committee.
