CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

SUE MCDERMOTT, CITY ENGINEER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE 2002
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS.
HISTORY
On March 18, 2002, Council held a public hearing and approved a resolution
ordering 2002 Improvement Project and authorizing preparation of plans and
specifications for Pixie Point Circle, Lori Road, Estate Avenue and Green Oaks
Trail. Three council members were present at the March 18, 2002 meeting and
voted unanimously to approve the resolution. The purpose of this item is to
approve the attached resolution as a 4/5ths vote is required in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes 429.
CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES
Minnesota Statutes 429.031, Subdivision 1. (f), states "The hearing may be
adjourned from time to time, and a resolution ordering the improvement may be
adopted at any time within six months after the date of the hearing by vote of the
council. . ." If an improvement that will be "specially assessed" to the benefited
properties is initiated by 35% of the property owners, a majority vote is required
to "order the improvement." But if the city initiates the improvement on its own
initiative and the city intends to specially assess all or a portion of the
improvement, State Statues provide "... the resolution may be adopted only by
vote of four-fifths of all members of the council." As there were only three of four
members present at the March 18th meeting, the resolution must have four
approving votes.
There did not appear to be any issues associated with this project and so we
have placed this matter on the consent agenda.
There are three alternatives for the City Council to consider:
1. Approve a resolution that orders the 2002 Improvements and authorizes City
staff to prepare plans and specifications.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
A motion and second as part of the consent agenda to adopt a resolution
ordering the 2002 Improvements and authorizing City staff to prepare plans and
specifications.
