Mounds View City Council July 23, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 11 City Attorney Riggs pointed out there is a 60-day waiting period after the public hearing, and this could hold the action up. Director Ulrich stated that all property owners on the east would be assessed. He suggested it may be possible to have the property owners provide some type of document that they agree to pay the assessments and work could begin sooner. He suggested the Charter Commission consider this request. The 60-day waiting period is a long period and possibly 30-45 days could be more appropriate. This timeframe would help in cases such as this one, and in larger cases. Council Member Marty reiterated that if the paving isn’t completed until next year, the cost will rise. He suggested that if the City is approached by parties that will be assessed, if the City gives them the facts, possibly the residents would work with the City to get the project started sooner. Director Ulrich pointed out that there is a 60-day waiting period for anyone in the city; not just those being assessed. Council Member Marty reiterated the possibility of asking the Charter Commission to review this. Council Member Quick stated it is not the Charter Commission’s decision. The Council has the responsibility to interpret the Code and suffer the consequences of its interpretati on. Council Member Stigney stated the Resolution should be corrected from County Road H2 to Mounds View Drive. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty.
