SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The city council is being asked to conduct the

2006 Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Resurfacing Project.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The 2006 Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Resurfacing Project has been completed and the
total project costs are known. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429 the council
has declared the amount to be assessed against the benefiting properties and the hearing
on the proposed assessment for these improvements has been ordered. Staff has enclosed
a final assessment roll as approved by the city council. Mailed notice has been provided to
each assessed property and the public hearing has been duly noticed.
The final assessment hearing will be conducted on October 11, 2007, and if passed the
final assessment roll will be certified to the county auditor by November 30, 2007.
The city’s assessment policy on street improvement projects is to assess each property
uniformly, according to zoning classification. The assessment rate is held consistent year
to year, with only an adjustment for inflation. For this project, all properties are RAD,
and have a proposed assessment rate for this project of $1,832.00 per buildable lot.
There are 14 assessable units on this project.
The total cost of the improvements will be $244,127.62; with the city cost
participation in the amount of $218,479.62 and the amount assessed against benefited
property owners is $25,648.00.
The street improvement project included resurfacing streets with a bituminous overlay for
45th Street from Jane Road to Julep Avenue, Julep Avenue from 45th Street to Keats Avenue, and 47th Street from Keats Avenue to Kimbro Avenue.
