AGENDA ITEM 1C STAFF ORIGINATOR Al Rolek MEETING DATE March 8, 2004 TOPIC Consider Resolution 04-36 Abating Special Assessments on Parcel No. 30- 31 -22 -21 -0001 VOTE REQUIRED Simple Majority (3/5) BACKGROUND In 1997, the City of Lino Lakes levied special assessments in the amount of $586,602.29 on parcel number 30- 31- 22- 21- 0001, owned by Mr. George Reiling, for various improvements benefiting his property. Mr. Reiling appealed the amount of the special assessment to U.S. District Court. In 2001 the U.S. District Court reduced the amount of the assessment to $180,000.00. The City, in compliance with the court order, abated all remaining special assessment payments from the year 2001 forward. However, through an oversight, the special assessment installment for the year 2000 in the amount of $64,405.77, which should have also been abated, remains outstanding against the parcel. The property is set to go tax forfeit due to the outstanding assessment against the property. To avoid tax forfeiture of the parcel, the City Council needs to approve a resolution to abate the outstanding special assessment. This item is presented on the consent agenda as a housekeeping item. Approval of the resolution is necessary to come into compliance with the court order. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve Resolution No. 04 -36 abating the outstanding special assessment installment for 2000 in the amount of $64,405.77. OPTIONS Approve Resolution 04-36. 2. Return to staff for further review RECOMMENDATION Option 1.
