Project 03-11 includes sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer and street reconstruction on Condons Street, Hope Street, Mitchell Circle and 150111 Street (Project #03-11). The City has executed a contract with McNamara Contracting, Inc. to construct the project. The project will be substantially complete by October 31st 2003. The Assessment Review Committee met on September 3rd, 2003 to review the project and the proposed assessments. CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES The Assessment Review Committee (ARC) recommends the unit method of assessment. It is necessary that the City Council make a determination on which assessment method should be applied. Since the special assessment hearing date is proposed for October 6tli, individual property owner notices must be sent to the residents by September 22, 2003. The amount to be assessed is required to be included in the mailed notice. 162~f#.la\n.(ltl8SE~EoNOtiJNs~. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.
