LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On September 16, 2014, 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 Lake Elmo Avenue Trunk Watermain Improvements. Special assessments for this project were established as a fixed lateral benefit assessment. Therefore the
unit assessments remain unchanged with the final project costs.

final unit assessment amount for each benefiting property is $2,900.
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, 2014.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2014-86, thereby Adopting the Final Assessment Roll for the Lake Elmo Avenue Trunk Watermain Improvements. The
recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2014-86, Adopting the Final Assessment Roll for the Lake
Elmo Avenue Trunk Watermain Improvements”. ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Resolution No. 2014-86, Adopting the Final Assessment Roll on Watermain Improvements. 2. Final Assessment Roll. 3. Notice of Hearing on Watermain Improvements.
