Mr. Schneider asked if the costs could be assessed to the property owners? Mr. Locher said, Yes, and noted the legal requirements of publication and public hearing. Mr. Redipenny said he could have the cost figures to the Clerk in a couple days. Mr: McLean said it is then a matter of setting a hearing date. Mr. Locher, Mr. Gotwald and the Clerk are to set the figures per property owner. A tentative date for the hearing was set for Monday, April 12, 1976.

Mr. McLean asked Mr. Burman if this Council moved to adopt the Ham Lake Resol- ution, would that assist him in getting the resolution establishing the service districts recinded? Mr. Burman thought it would. Mr. McLean moved to adopt the Resolution as presented by Ham Lake for submission to the Anoka County Board of Commissioners. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher said there must be two publications of the notice for a public hear- ing. The publication must state the time, place, nature of improvements and estimated costs. Last publication must be ten days before the hearing.
