Memorandum <br />DATE: April 27, 1999 <br />TO: Linda Waite Smith <br />FROM: John Powell <br />RE: Assessments - centennial School Street and <br />Utility Improvements <br />Marilyn Anderson received a telephone call recently from Independent School <br />District No. 12 (ISD #12) regarding the status of their assessment. Upon a <br />review of the assessment file for this project, Ms. Anderson discovered errors <br />which have resulted in excess assessments to the School District and <br />insufficient assessments to the Rehbein properties. My own review of the project <br />file supports Ms. Anderson's findings. <br />The errors appear to originate from the final assessment roll for this project <br />which was prepared by one of the City's consultants. This roll incorrectly <br />identifies the property with PIN # 17- 31 -22 -33 -0005 as belonging to ISD #12 <br />when in actuality it belongs to Rehbein Excavating, Inc. This resulted in an <br />additional assessment of $202,055.83 against the School District. The <br />assessment payments were complicated by the fact that the School District and <br />Rehbein swapped two properties after the assessment was certified. <br />The net result is that ISD #12 has overpaid their assessments by $223,523.26 <br />and the Rehbein property is due an assessment of $292,988.91. These <br />amounts are based on the original property ownership as we cannot know the <br />details of their property transfer and what arrangements were made for payment <br />of the assessments. <br />I have attached the assessment file, computation sheets, and sketches to assist <br />you in your review of this matter. The computations were reviewed by Ms. <br />Anderson and she agrees it is an accurate representation of what has occurred. <br />If you have any questions, please let me know. <br />1189 Main Street • Lino Lakes, Minnesota • 55014 <br />Phone/TDD: 651 -464 -5562 • Fax: 651 - 464 -4568 <br />
