CM OF REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section <br /> STAFF REPORTReport Number: s I iL'' -- <br /> C SOS Report Date: 11/8/96 <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE <br /> November 12, 1996 <br /> °a"rgs$>Parenei `' <br /> Item Description: <br /> Senior Citizens Hardship Deferral of Special Assessments <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> -No Comments to supplement this report <br /> -Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) <br /> Summary: <br /> State Statutes allow for the deferral of special assessments for senior citizens (age 65 or older) or individuals <br /> who are totally and permanently disabled for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments on said <br /> special assessments. The City adopted the provisions of this statute via Section 202.13 of the City Code. <br /> Said Section of the City Code stated"... the City Council shall adopt a resolution establishing standards and <br /> guidelines for determining the existence of a hardship relative to any special assessment adopted under this <br /> Chapter ...". It does not appear that such a resolution has been adopted. The City has recently received one <br /> application for a deferral on the Pleasant View Drive project and we anticipate receiving another application <br /> on the Bronson Drive project. In order to act on these applications, it appears that the Council should adopt a <br /> resolution setting forth the criteria under which such an application will be evaluated. <br /> Based upon the League of Minnesota Cities Local Improvement Guide and discussions with the Cities of <br /> Fridley and New Brighton, Resolution 5043 was drafted. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 5043. <br /> Bruce Kessel, Finance Director <br />
