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.
