-2- the Council as early as possible in November. • Motion by Councilman Stauffer, seconded by Councilman Sundland to adopt Resolution 74-027 and set the interest rate at 8% with assessment to be spread over 5 years. RESOLUTION 74-027 RESOLUTION ADOPTING ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR PAVING, CURB AND GUTTER PROJECT IMPROVENT 1973-1 Motion carried. Mr. John Prueter, 7700 Logan Avenue South, Mpls., Mr. George Nason, 2210 Duswell Avenue, St. Paul, and Elizabeth B. Hanley, Attorney, Engineer and President respectively of the Sunset Memorial Park Association, attended the meeting and Mr. Prueter stated that they were objecting to the amount which had been levied against the cemetary association to pay for the storm sewer system. Mayor Miedtke pointed out that the Sunset Memorial assessment represented only for their share of participation in the cost of the pipe built by Minneapolis, St. Anthony and the Highway Department into which the cemetary's own storm sewer flowed. He told Mr. Prueter that the assessments were based not only on the cost of the pipe which lay within the confines of St. Anthony but for the entire storm sewer system as it carried waste waters to the river. The attorney questioned why the Hillside Cemetary Association was identified on the mailing lists with the Sunset Memorial Park address. Mr. Fornell was called from the Is Planning Board meeting in another part of the building to further clarify the source of the data which was used to compute the individual asssessment rates. The City Attorney told the Council that the cemetery association objections should not delay their passing the resolution approving the assessment rolls for the storm sewer. Martin Rainer, 282+ Highway 8, said the above discussion had cleared up some questions in his mind regarding the method of assessment and was told he had 39 days from the date of the resolution to pay up his assessment without interest. Mr. & Mrs. Walter F. Bochnak, 418 9th Avenue N.E.J. were present and wondered what portion of the vacant lot they own at 3510 Belden Drive was affected by the storm sewer assessment since the lot is located at the crest of the hill. A A check of the assessment listings indicated that theirs was only a partial assessment for the portion of the lot from which water flowed in a southerly direction. Before the following motion was made, a memo from Jim Fornell indicating four adjustments to be made in the calculations were included in the assessment roll: Motion by Sundland, seconded by Miedtke to adopt Resolution 74-028.
