Mayor Warkentien, Councilmembers Ciernia, Eggert and Larson. Also present were Clerk Administrator Barnes, Engineer Lemberg and Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth. Councilmember Chestovich. Mayor Warkentien opened the Public Hearing on the Gortner/Prior/Larpenteur Storm Sewer Improvement at 7:00 P.M. Councilmember Eggert asked Engineer Lemberg how he arrived at the division of the assessment between City Hall and the Hawkins/Hermes property as it seemed to him that the Hawkins/ Hermes property would use mere than City Hall. Engineer Lemberg replied that this is a total line serving City Hall while it will be necessary for the developer of the Hawkins/Iiermes property to put in sewers for that property. He explained that this is just a hook-up connection charged to the property and that the owner will have to extend the line and totally pay for the line from there on. Councilmember Eggert asked if the main has enough capacity for the Hawkins/Hermes property and Engineer Lemberg replied in the affirmative. Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth advised that part would be assessed and the balance will go on the tax levy at this time. However, it .may not be effective until next year and collectible until 198l~. By that time it is anticipated that the tax increment financing plan for the proposed Hewlett Packard addition will be adopted. The increment from that ex- pansion will be used to abate the tax levy. The exact figure is not known at the present time but should be known when the building is con- structed and valuation is put on the building. Robert Mrder, owner of the property at 2061 W. Larpenteur, stated he felt it was fair that the users pay for the cost of the sewer improvement, that it is the responsibility of the developer rather than the people in the area as the residents are not benefitting anything from the sewer, the people benefitting are the ones who are developing the land. He felt it was fair that he was being assessed and the price he had seen for his share could be lived with. ~~ PRESENT ABSENT ASSESS~,gENT HEARING ON GORTNER/PRIOfi LARPENTEUR STORM SEWER 7:00 P.M.

Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth explained two bid openings - one for temporary bonds in the amount of X675,000 (Gortner/Prior/Larpente~ar) and one for general obligation bonds in the amount of X225,000 (pascal/Albert Streets). He then opened and read the bids for the X225,000 improvement bonds as follows: Piper, Jaffray and Hopwood, Inc., interest rate 8.1t9139~, F & M Marquette, 8.1~869~, First Bank-Minneapolis, 8.4653, Bancnorthwest, 8.~.10~5~, American National Bank and Trust, 8.3679, and First National Bank-St. Paul, 8.6087. Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth stated he felt the interest rates were very good due to the excellent rating and the fact that the market is on the downtrend. He recommended accepting the low bid from American National Bank and Trust. Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert, that Resolution 82-1~;~ be adopted. Motion carried unanimously.

Engineer Lemberg advised that the project consisted of the construction of Pascal and Albert Streets for new base, curb, gutter, bituminous surfacing, and the storm sewer on Albert Street as required for a state aid street. The total amount to be assessed is f~1113,816.80 and the proposed assessment area is that bounded by Arona on the west, Hamline on the east, Hoyt on the south and Larpenteur on the North. The unassessed amount of the total project cost(~23o,000) would be paid by other public funds and the Minnesota State Aid funds. Mayor V~farkentien pointed out that when the project was first discussed, the storm sewer was considered but the cost was very high. By moving the state aid funding from another street to Albert, the City was able to include storm sewer in the project, the cost of which will not be assessable but paid by state aid funds. ~.3~1 HEARING CLOSED AT 7:16 P.PvI. BID OPENING ON PASCAL/ ALBERT STREET IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION 82-l~l~ CONSENT AGENDA AP PROVED ASSESSMENT HEARING ON PASCAL/ ALBERT IMPROVER~NT 7:30 P.r~?. LEMBERG 'J'~ARKENTIEN HEARING SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING~PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 5, 1982 PAGE 3 Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth also pointed out that the interest on the bonds, which helps determine the interest on the assessments, is considerably better than first projected. It is now estimated that the interest rate will be ten percent instead of a higher number. He stressed that the residents should carefully examine their assessment notices to see if they were charged correctly on their front footage and that they were being charged correctly and the same as anyone else in the same position. These residents should also be benefitting by the amount charged. Charles Peterman, 1407 W. Iowa, stated he had heard rumors and wanted clarification, would the assessment he received be the only assessment, to which the Mayor replied that it would be the only assessment for the project. Mr. Peterman then asked how much time would be allowed before interest would be charged and Mayor Warkentien stated that no interest would be charged for 30 days from the hearing date (October 5), if prepaid. Henrietta Thom, 1402 W. Idaho, stated she did not want to pay interest and asked if she should pay for the assessment this evening. She was advised by Engineer Lemberg that she had 30 days in which to pay the assessment. Bill Smith, 1358 Iowa West, asked what the annual tax levy would cost over a ten year period. Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth advised it was one-tenth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. Figured on a 40 foot lot it would be ten times forty or X400 or X40 each year at ten percent on the declining balance. Mr. Sm_th asked about the footage for which he is being assessed and was advised by ~%ngineer Lemberg that he is being assessed for the front footage of his lot only not for the alley. Mr. Smith also wanted to know whose idea it was to do the project to which Mayor Warkentien replied that the Engineer, Clerk Administrator and Maintenance Department realized the streets were breaking up and it was determined that the only way to improve it in such a way as to prevent expensive maintenance in the future, was to rebuild the streets, Mayor Warkentien explained that even though many residents did not feel the project necessary, Council felt the reconstruction was needed and would prevent costly yearly repairs. Mr. Smith said he could afford the assessment but there are others who cannot and he disagreed with Councils action on the improvement as they did not listen to the dissatisfaction expressed by the residents. Bob Dobin, 1362 West Larpenteur, advised that he is turning in a claim to Falcon Heights because after a three weekvacation he came down the alley and his car fell into a 14-1~2"excavation which was not blockaded. Mayor Y~arkentien advised that his comment was out-of-order and this is an assessment hearing only and that if he wanted to be placed on a future Council agenda he should contact the Clerk Administrator. Engineer Lemberg commented that the claim will be paid by the contractor. ~. CHENOWETH CHARLES PETERMAN, 1407 W. IOWA HENRIETTA THOM, 1402 W. IDAHO BILL SMITH, 1358 W. IOWA BOB DOBIN, 1362 W. LARpENTEUR Constance Olson, 1386 West Larpenteur, stated that she had lived in the CONSTANCE Village for 28 years and has never seen a road torn up on the area. OLSON, 1386 The first time it is done there is an assessment and she wondered if W. LARPENTEU~ there was not a fund to cover the cost of the project. Mayor Warkentien advised that other roads have been improved - Garden, Arona, and Roselawn. She asked if the people in those areas were assessed. PJII NUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING~PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 5, 1982 PAGE4 Reed Byers, 13l~1 W. Idaho, stated he had sent a letter to Clerk Administrator Barnes regarding the assessment notice and had received a reply. He explained that when he purchased the home in July, he had a title opinion done and the opinion showed a $500 assessment against the property; however, when the realtor contacted the City Office he was advised that there was no pending assessment. There- for he was disturbed when he received an assessment notice showing he owes ~51t0.00. Clerk Administrator Barnes explained that at the time Mr. Byers purchased the property there was not a pending assessment as it had not been certified to the County. Mr. Byers felt the seller should have been responsible for the assessment to which Mayor Warkentien replied that it was a legal question. Council advised Mr. Byers to contact the attorney who did the title opinion. Charles Ready, 1359 W. Iowa, asked for information on state aid require- ments in regard to street construction. Engineer Lemberg advised that the minimum footage is 32 feet, it must be a nine ton street, have curb and butter and follow standard highway design. Due t o the fact that Albert will be a 32 foot street, no parking will be allowed on either side. Mr. Ready asked what Council planned to do to prevent through traffic in a residential neighborhood and Mayor Warkentien reminded him that this was an assessment hearing and that the question was out-of-order. He suggested Mr. Ready have the item on a future agenda. Lu Marshall, 1391 W. Iowa, asked why the assessment was only within the area east of Arona and west of Hamline and not the entire Northome area to which Clerk Administrator Barnes replied that west of Arona there are no alleys which would connect to Pascal and Albert and the only properties benefitting were assessed. Mrs. Marshall stated that if residents did not have alleys they would use the streets even more. Engineer Lemberg replied that traffic checks show that the residents to the west of Arona use Arona. Betty Ernst, 1t~67 W. Iowa, asked if the people between Snelling and Arona paid for the Arona street improvements to which Clerk Administrator Barnes replied that the residents of that area paid for the storm sewer only. She then asked what determined the assessment area as she felt the entire Northome area should be assessed. Mrs. Ernst said the area between Snelling and Arona did not participate in the street improvement fully to which Clerk Administrator Barnes replied that the present project is being handled in a similar manner as state aid funds are paying for a portion of Albert. Mrs. Ernst said she agreed with Mrs. Marshall. Dave Anderson, 1512 W. Idaho, stated that the people who are on the west side of Arona did not pay the assessment - only those on the east as he recalled talking to a neighbor who did not have an assessment. He questioned the fact that his notice gave the cost of the project as $230,000 when an earlier projection was that the estimate for doing l~lbert and Pascal would be X80,000 and X85,000 and there was to be no storm sewer. Since Albert has now been designated a state aid street, Mr. Anderson wanted to know if the state aid money is paying only for ~~ REED BYERS, 13~t1 W. IDAHO CHARLES READY, 1359 W.

IDAH MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING~PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 5, 1982 PAGE 5 the storm sewer or the storm sewer and street on Albert. Engineer Lemberg explained that the state aid funds are being used for paying that balance which is not assessed. Councilmember Eggert stated that it actually reduced the original projected cost because the state aid funds amounted to more than the storm sewer and if state aid funds are used, a storm sewer was required. Therefore, the total assessment at this time is less than the total original projected assessment as the original amount without state aid funds would have been $167,000 but by utilizing the state aid funds it brings the cost down ~2~.,000. Mr. Anderson said he did not derive any benefit from Pascal being improved because his garage comes off Arona and he does not use the alley. For that reason he felt the apartments, commercial buildings and other residential homes west of tirona should be participating in the project. Councilmember Eggert stated that at the last public hearing he asked why streets on which houses do not front should not be assessed to everyone and was told that the City was divided up and benefit had to be shown in order t o justify the assessment legally and, therefore, assessments must be limited to the benefitted quadrant. He felt Mr. Anderson brought up a valid point as he felt sure the whole quadrant uses the streets. He felt there was no reason not to assess the whole quadrant and asked how other Councilmembers felt. Councilmember Ciernia said that he recalled asking the attorney what the legal basis is for making an assessment. There were several different ways--citywide, quadrant wide levies and assessment of benefitting properties and the attorney stated that they would have to be able to meet the test of benefitting property by the amount of the assessment. The question is, do the people living on Snelling Drive benefit from an improvement on Albert. This would be difficult as they do not benefit nearly as much as someone living on Iowa between Pascal and Albert. 1.35 DAVE ANDERSON 1512 W. IDAHO (continued) COUNCILMEMBER EGGERT COUNCILMEMBER CIERNIA Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth commented he is getting benefit but someone FISCAL on Arona who does not have to go into the alley and get out on Albert or CONSULTANT Pascal does not have that benefit. Everyone in the community benefits some CHENOWETH but there is a more direct benefit to those living nearby. He felt if properties west of Arona are assessed it would be very difficult to make that assessment stick. Councilmember Ciernia pointed out that it is a fair statement that the entire City benefits from improvement of the roads but you lose sight of the fact that about !~0 percent of the total cost is covered by public funds that are available to the City for street maintenance which is a significant amount of money. Therefore, there is recognition that there is a general City benefit up to 1~0 percent of the total project. Bob Olson, 1386 W. Larpenteur, felt that everyone who travels California, Iowa or Idaho coming from Snelling are benefitting and all should pay. COUNCILMEMBER CIERNIA BOB OLSON 1386 WEST LARPENTEUR MINUTES ~~ ~ ~, SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/PUBLIC HEARING PAGE 6 OCTOBER 5, 1982 1 Bruce Rushton, 1469 w. California, stated he felt there was a basic BRUCE inequity and he saw variance in Council's decision on how much public RUSHTON, money will bear. In the case of Arona, the western section of Northome 1469 W. was given a free ride whereas this time they have been advised that 40~ CALIFORNIA is a free ride. His question was for what types of projects are the people west of Arona responsible? He felt that a quadrant should be established instead of trying to determine who benefits from the alleys, such as a community road repair district in which all will participate in cost of repairs. Mr. Rushton pointed out that the Arona street work was free and the people west of that received the benefit. Mayor Warkentien then gave a full explanation of the Arona improvement. Councilmember Eggert asked (1) were any assessments made on either COUNCILMEIu~EF Garden or Roselawn, and (2) is there any street that serves as a EGGERT precedent - Arona being exempted because finances were different? and (3) is there any street improvement that was assessed over the entire area and not just the adjacent properties? Clerk Administrator Barnes said there was not. Councilmember Eggert felt there was an inequity and the fact that Pascal is a cross street and not a street on which houses front, it should be assessed over the entire .quadrant. Councilmember Ciernia felt that there is some provision for equity in COUNCILMEMBEF that not any street can be a state aid street, the street has to be CIERA;IA more heavily used than a typical residential street, and therefore, the state makes up for the difference. There is equity in selection of streets. Engineer Lemberg advised that a state aid street must be a route that ties ENGINEER to other streets or connects to other streets of equal or higher priority- LEMBERG a County Road (Larpenteur). Pat Fitzgerald, 1434 W. Iowa, wanted to know why the City could not wait PAT until state money is available to pay for Pascal. Councilmember Ciernia FITZGERALD, explained that the decision to repair both streets was made due to the 143li W. IO1,~A condition of the streets. Mr. Fitzgerald commented on the fact that the original discussion took place with most of the residents in attendance but the decision to repair the streets was made without residents in attendance. Mayor Warkentien replied that Council had six months in which to make the decision. Mr. Fitzgerald asked if the street is costing more money to construct because it was designated a state aid street and Engineer Lemberg replied that the street would have been constructed inexactly the same way. Lu Marshall, 1391 W. Iowa, asked who decided on the assessment and was LU MARSHALL, advised it is a Council function. 1391 W. IOWA Henrietta Thom, 1402 W. Idaho, asked who would replace the grass after HENRIETTA the project is completed to which Engineer Lemberg replied that it is THOM, 1402 part of the project contract. She was also assured that driveways would W. IDAHO be repaired if damaged. PdI NUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL M~;ETING/PUBLIC HEARIPJG ocTOBER 5, 1982 PAGE 7 R4rs. Dobin, 1362 W. Larpenteur, asked if the Albert storm sewer will MRS. DOBIN help the poor drainage in her alley. Councilmember Larson stated that 1362 W. Hamline will be redone sometime in 1983 and the alley drainage should LARPENTEUR be corrected because Hamline will be lowered. Engineer Lemberg advised that the storm water from the alley would be draining toward California after the storm sewer is installed and the alley situation should be improved. Mrs. Sturm, 1129 W. Hoyt, asked what kind of benefit the people on Eoyt MRS. STURM, will be receiving to which Engineer Lemberg replied that people who 1Lt29 W. HOYT have garages or. the alley would benefit. Fran Johnson, 1l~25 W. Hoyt, stated she had no benefit from the streets FRAN JOHNSON because her driveway goes to Hoyt and she never uses the alley for any 1lt25 W. HOYT reason. She also stated she is on affixed income and does not benefit to which Clerk Administrator Barnes replied that she could get an attorney and appeal the assessment. Ken Johnson, son of Fran Johnson, 1.25 W. Hoyt, asked if there was an KEN JOHNSON, engineering report showing the benefit to each individual lot. Mayor SON OF FRAN b~farkentien advised that it is done by area and Engineer Lemberg advised that JOHNSON, study was donez-rior to the l~iarch hearing and is available at the Clerk's 1l~25 W. HOYT Office. Mr. Johnson said he was providing a sign-up sheet for everyone who is interested in a class action litigation suit against the Council for failure to provide adequate show of benefit for each lot. A discussion ensued regarding whether or not residents must have an attorney in order to appeal the assessment and Clerk Administrator Barnes reminded that there is a 30 day appeal period from the date of the October 5th hearing. Mrs. Dobin, 1362 W. Larpenteur, asked what could be done for the alley MRS. DOBIN, drainage and if it was necessary to petition for alley improvement. 1362 W. Engineer Lemberg again stated that water will no longer run off Albert LARPENTEUR into the alley so drainage in the alley should improve. Mayor Warkentien closed the public hearing at 9:55 P.M.
