OPEN MIKE Mrs. Pat Sorenson had requested to appear under this portion of the agenda to discuss the questions she had presented to the Council at a meeting previously. She apologized for not being present at the last meeting. She asked Mayor Benson how he would like to handle the questions - did he want them read? Mayor Benson said he had prepared a statement and had been advised by the Attorney not to expand on this statement and he hoped the Council would heed this advise. Question #1) Mayor Benson said there would be no discussion of any sort of policy until after the 1st of the year. This could be discussed in his State of the City address. Question #2) This question - How are we going to ppy for the lawsuit if we lose the case in court? Will it be through raised taxes or a special assessment? "Any judgement that is awarded against a municipal corporation, and not covered by insurance policies of the City would be governed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes S465.14. When a judgement against the City is not paid at the time of the annual tax levy and unless the City has otherwise provided sufficient funds to pay for the collection of such tax levy, the City shall levy a tax to pay such judgement and certify the same to the County Auditor along with the purpose. There is no authority to collect unpaid jundgements by special assessments pursuant to the City Charter or Minnesota Statute S429.
