Maplewood to review all pending projects by Kamy Ide A State Supreme Court case in- volving assessments and property values has compelled the Maplewood City Council to seek a staff review of all pending projects in the city. The council voted unanimously at its Thursday, Aug. 26 meeting, to have staff examine all pending projects to determine if proposed assessments can be closely related to the increase in property values. That is the subject of a present State Supreme Court case involving the city of Windom, which assessed all of an 616,000 sanitary sewer. A district court has said that only the amount property values have in- creased (in this project, about 69,000) can be assessed. The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court If the Supreme Court upholds the lower court findings, councils may find it difficult to assess for many projects unless they can prove the assessments equal the amount property values increase. Councilman Norm Anderson asked if such findings could mean the city only orders those projects requested by petition by residents. City Attorney Donald Lais said feasibility studies conducted by the city prior to ordering projects will probably have to include in- formation on property values and their relation to assessments. In supporting a motion by Councilman John Greavu, Mayor Robert Bruton indicated the review "may cost us some more, but, by George, we have to take a look at this. " Affected are all Maplewood projects approved by the council but for which actual contracts have not been let. Bill Cass of the Maplewood Engineering Department explained that at least eight and possibly as many as 12 projects fall under that category. They include the following projects: County Road B and Edgerton storm sewer, County Ditch 17 improvements, storm sewers in the vicinity of Larpenteur and . Howard, a water booster station in the vicinity of Roselawn and DeSoto, Carver Avenue sewer and water improvements, Mailand Road improvements and Mailand water booster station. 17 Enrollments taken at day care center Children's Home Society Day Care Centers will be accepting child enrollments for the new fall program from Sept. 1-8 at each of the four Twin Cities center locations.
