SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The City Council is respectfully requested to conduct the Final Assessment Hearing for street
improvements completed as a part of the Keats MSA Street and Trunk Watermain
Improvements. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429 the Council must conduct a final
assessment hearing to declare the amounts to be assessed to the benefitting properties. The
Council will also present and hear upon any objections to the proposed assessment whether
presented verbally or in writing. The recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2013-91, Adopting the Final Assessment Roll
for the street improvements for the Keats MSA Street and Trunk Watermain Improvements.”
STAFF REPORT:
On October 1, 2013, the City Council approved a Resolution declaring the costs to be assessed,
ordering the preparation of the proposed assessment, and calling for the hearing on proposed
assessment for the street improvements for the Keats MSA Street and Trunk Watermain
Improvements. The Project is substantially complete and the special assessments for this project
2
were established as fixed amounts for a Collector Roadway. Therefore the unit assessments
remain unchanged with the final project costs.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429 the Council must declare the final amount to be
assessed against the benefitting properties and the hearing on the proposed assessment for these
improvements must be conducted. Staff has attached a proposed Final Assessment Roll. The
final unit assessment amount for each benefiting property is $3,400.
Mailed notice has been provided to each assessed property and notice of the public hearing has
been published in the local paper in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 429. The Final
Assessment Roll must be certified to the County Auditor by November 30, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2013-91, thereby Adopting
the Final Assessment Roll for the street improvements for the Keats MSA Street and Trunk
Watermain Improvements. The recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2013-91, Adopting the Final Assessment Roll
for the street improvements for the Keats MSA Street and Trunk Watermain Improvements.”
