here for other taxpayers in the City IP C. Shifting street aid monies to the resident's share exacerbates issue B above D. Assessment law does favor correlating assessment amount with valued added to a property and the City can may likely be challenged. On the other side, there may be lots with large assess- ments that given their highest and best use are correlated to the added value. This approach can just as easily prove the City right as the property owner. The City's action can create added value to the development potential of a lot, and what is fair to the City taxpayers for paying for that property owner's improved value generally is an issue in other circumstances (i.e. economic development). E. The overall objective of improving streets, to what quality and at what expense is a key component to Council policy and resident support. • F. These issues are Mounds View's issues to address and and resolve. How that is done can either pit people against each other, or arrive at resolution. Mike's memo and the presentation by SEH should help in facilitate the discussion and understanding of the issues that have been reviewed to date. Feel free to call Monday if you have any questions or concerns that staff can try to address before the meeting if you think that may help in addressing the residents and City policies. Item F2 - MSP/MPHA Agreement: Bob Long has been working on this and will present the discussion Monday evening. Item F3- 1998 Budget Presentation: It is very frustrating not knowing if and when the Mounds View Matters will reach residents, and I apologize for the confusion on such a critical matter. We intend to go through the same presentation Monday night as we did last week with some minor style changes. Truth in taxation notices went out this week and more people may be gearing up for the December 3 meeting instead. That's it for now. Have a good weekend and see you Monday evening. •
