was $99,965.25. Both are both below the engineer’s estimate of $41,900 and $104,750 <br />respectively. A full bid summary will be submitted on May 24, 2004. <br /> <br />Sidewalk on Groveland Road <br />This item was included as Bids Alternate No 1. On May 24, 2004 the City Council will <br />need to decide whether to include it with the project. The assessments notices will <br />reflect the inclusion of this bid alternate (Council can reduce assessment amounts, but <br />can never raise them). <br /> <br />Lakeside Lions Park – Parking Lot <br />The Lakeside Lions Park Parking Lot was included as Bid Alternate No. 2. The final <br />design was to construct it four feet wider than Option No. 4 and stripe it like Option No. <br />3. The Lion’s Fund will finance $15,000 of the parking lot upgrade. The remainder will <br />be split equally between the cities of Spring Lake Park and Mounds View. <br /> <br />On May 24, 2004 the City Council will need to decide whether to include it with the 2003 <br />Street Improvement Project. If the parking lot is included, the Joint Powers Agreement <br />with the City of Spring Lake Park that was approved on March 22, 2004 for a portion of <br />Hillview Road from Pleasant View Drive to Spring Lake Road will need to be revised to <br />include the installation of this parking lot. <br /> <br />Silver Lake Woods Condominiums – Dedication of Private Streets <br />The private streets of the Silver Lake Woods Condominium Association were originally <br />included in the plans for the 2003 Street Improvement Project. However, an agreement <br />could not be reached with the Association by April 15, 2004. The Association wanted to <br />have the City assess each individual property owner as opposed to assessing the <br />Homeowners Association. This created several legal issues that need to be resolved. <br />As a result, the private streets were removed from this project. The City’s legal counsel <br />will continue to work with the Silver Lake Woods Homeowners Association to resolve <br />these issues. These private streets could potentially be included in the 2005 Street <br />Improvement Project. <br /> <br /> <br />Declaring Cost to be Assessed <br />As per State Statute Chapter 429.061, at any time after the expense have been or will <br />be incurred, the City shall calculate said expense under the direction of the City Council <br />when making an improvement. Furthermore, the City Council shall determine, by <br />resolution, the amount of the total expense the municipality will pay, not including the <br />amount it will pay as the owner of property in the project area, and the amount to be <br />assessed. <br /> <br /> <br />Ordering Preparation of Proposed Assessment <br />The City, with the assistance of the consulting engineer, is required to calculate the <br />proper amount to be specially assessed for such improvement against every <br />assessable lot, piece or parcel of land within the district affected, without regard to cash <br />valuation, as provided by law, and shall file a copy of such proposed assessment at City <br />Hall for public inspection. This action must be directed by the City Council.
