AGENDA ITEM: Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension – Final Assessment Hearing
and Resolution No. 2013-21 Adopting the Final Assessment Roll for the
Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension, 2013 Improvements
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer

REVIEWED BY: Adam Bell, City Clerk
Cathy Bendel, Finance Director
Chad Isakson, Project Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
hold the Final Assessment Hearing for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension, 2013
Improvement project. The Council will hear any objections to the proposed assessment whether
presented verbally or in writing during the hearing. After the hearing is closed the City Council
is respectfully requested to consider approving Resolution No. 2013-21 Adopting the Final
Assessment Roll.
STAFF REPORT: On February 19th, 2013 the City Council approved Resolution No. 2013-13
declaring the costs to be assessed and calling for a hearing on the proposed assessment for the
Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension, 2013 Improvement project.
The final assessment hearing is being held prior to design and construction of the project for two
reasons. The first reason is to maintain consistency with the assessment process the City of
Oakdale is implementing. The second reason is to determine if the City will face appeal of the
assessment from a benefitting property prior to ordering the improvements. This will provide the
City an opportunity to evaluate the risk of proceeding with the improvements without expending
funds for construction.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429 the Council must declare the amount to be assessed
against the benefiting properties and the hearing on the proposed assessment for those
improvements must be conducted. Staff has enclosed a Final Assessment Roll as adopted by the
City Council. The final assessments for each benefiting property are $18,500 per Unit.

Mailed notice has been provided to each assessed property and notice of the public hearing has
been duly noted.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council consider approving
Resolution No. 2013-21 Adopting the Final Assessment Roll for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary
Sewer Extension, 2013 Improvements.
