<br />202.14 202.14 <br /> <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Service Cost Assessments: As authorized under Section 8.05 of the Charter, the <br />Council may provide by ordinance that the cost of City services to streets, sidewalks or <br />other public or private property may be assessed against property benefited and may be <br />collected in the same manner as special assessments. Such costs shall not be deemed to <br />be “special assessments” for the purposes set forth in Section 8.03 of the Charter. Such <br />City services shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of snow, ice or rubbish removal <br />from sidewalks, weed elimination from streets or private property, removal or elimination <br />of public health or safety hazards from private property, installation or repair of water <br />service lines, street sprinkling or other dust treatment of streets, the trimming and care of <br />trees and the removal of unsound trees from any street, the treatment and removal of <br />insect infested or diseased trees on private property, the repair of sidewalks and alleys or <br />the operation of a street lighting system. <br /> <br />Subd. 3. Procedure for Assessment: Any special assessment levied under subdivision 2 <br />above shall be payable in single installment or by up to ten (10) equal annual installments <br />as the Council may provide. With this exception, Sections 202.10, 202.11 and 202.16 of <br />this Chapter shall apply to assessments made under this Section. However, nothing shall <br />prevent the property owner or other person served to pay the City directly such charges <br />when due prior to the assessment herein being authorized and certified. <br /> <br />Subd. 4. Issuance of Obligations: After a contract for any of the work enumerated in <br />subdivision 2 of this Section has been let or the work commenced, the Council may issue <br />obligations to defray the expenses of any such work financed, in whole or in part, by <br />special charges and assessments imposed upon benefited property under this Section. <br />Section 202.19 of this Chapter shall apply to such obligations with the following <br />modifications: <br /> <br /> a. Such obligations shall be payable not more than two (2) years from the date of <br />issuance; <br /> <br /> b. The amount of such obligations issued at one time shall not exceed the cost of such <br />work during the ensuing six (6) months as estimated by the Council; <br /> <br /> c. A separate improvement fund shall be set up for each of the enumerated services <br />referred to in subdivision 2 and financed under this Section. Proceeds of special charges <br />as well as special assessments and taxes shall be credited to such improvement fund. <br />Any balance of the proceeds of any obligations remaining therein may be used to pay the <br />cost, in whole or in part, of any other improvement instituted pursuant to this Chapter or <br />may be transferred to the fund established under Section 203.02 of this Title.
