' SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 28, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, September 28,
1993, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayar McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Willcox,
Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present.
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy announced the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
current assessment policy and whether the proposed assessments for Projects
206 and 212 were equitable since appraisals on recent projects greatly
varied in the dollar amount.
Discussion was held on the appraisals obtained on assessable properties for
Project 206 and Project 235, and members of council e�ressed concerns that
the discrepancies in the various appraisals may make it difficult to
determine the benefit provided by the improvement projects. It was
recommended that benefit be determined by using the lower appraised value
rather than the higher dollar amount.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund and City Engineer Bud Osmundson reviewed
the method used for determining the estimated value of improvements for
paving and water for City Project 206, 145th Street reconstruction from
Diamond Path to Shannon Parkway. Staff also reviewed examples of area
cities' policies for assessing reconstruction projects for single family
residential.
Following further discussion on what is an appropriate amount for assessing
each residential lot based upon appraisals received by the city on current
reconstruction projects, a concensus was reached by Council that $2, OOQ
would be an appropriate amount.
Council then discussed whether streets considered as collector streets
should be assessed at a discounted rate from the $2, 000 per single family
residential lot. A concensus was reached by Council that the assessed
amount should be $1,500 per single family residential lot or twenty-five
(25�) percent less than the $2,000 amount.
MOTION by Willcox to set a single family residential assessment amount at
$2,000 and a single family residential assessment amount for designated
collector streets at $1,500 and that these assessment amounts would not
include watermain or other infrastructure improvements. Second by Klassen.
Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Staff then recommended that public hearings to consider assessments for
Projects 206, 212 and 191 be scheduled for October l9, 1993, at 8:00 p.m.
