assessments were at the time of the public hearings for the projects and
the assessments for that portion which ,was assessed against the property,
if Your property was above and beyond the City'
then there was an amount deferred and that amount deferred atcthat time
that year of the project and that as hearing was five years that
the Council would consider and at that time they would review their
financial situation, such as,bond repayments, and then they would either
move to call in that assessment or continue with the deferment if there
are some special reasons for that deferment. After the Council, in the
Past year, has.asked the City's Finance Director to review - the repayment
; i schedule for bond'issues and he has determined that there will be a short-
age at the end ofthe period of the bond issue if the City would not,call
hearing, but also that an additi the deferred: assessments which the City knew at the time of the-assessment
o would have to be raised to
nal cronies
help repay these bond issues, By State Statute the r he unpaid de muni cipa ity has the
= right to charge the 8% interest rate foferred assessment..
The Council has gone on record saying that anyone who wishes to

Mr. Shuff: -
the bond schedule repayment
all of a sudden apparently doesn't look like there is enough money to keep
up with the bond repayment program,
Mayor Stock: First of all You understand the deferred assessments, which
calculate into the1act that the end of the p
period of five Y ears the

than at the end the bond period
;. and then getting concerned and that is the purpose that we,.hired a
financial director here in t
the City of Prior Lake is to help,,the City
Council review this in depth and to give u
us some guidance as to our
financial picture over the period of the bond issue,
Mr. Snuff: So what `

has changed, how much each of these might bring to bear on -the issue,
the point really remains based on the best information the Council has
at that ,time, the growth curve actual did not match the growth curve
estimated.
Mr. Break: I don't think I quite understand the rela =tionship yet, but I
will let i�tlsink in awhile. In that respect then I don't understand what
change from the time the projects were started until now when the projects
are being paid that would cause the need for Now I understand the
mechanics of what you said in terms of you.didn "t get the anticipated
development per lot, but I was of the understanding that the cost of,the
project was based on the land that was going to be assissed� for the project
not based on the development of that land:
ti Councilman Oakes: Assessment was based on the whether or not there, was
a substantial or significant benefit to the land,and not necessarily
if there was a house thereon. That is solved in.a
number of communities;
by currently assessing the parcel in' question and then whether or not
there is a building on th,e parcel is not a matter of interest indicated
on the -bond ,issue. _.

not been building it is used as a justification as an 8 tacked on.

W. Break: 1-don't-understand what has changed from the time I was, . told' k
we were going to get sewer and water and it was costing 7k to repay it or
C�
any percent bond issue whatever it was based on, the cost of putting in
sewer and water. OK that is fine
' going to do this, now You made a projection, You said it 3s�
you say it is not that-way, we need more money to ;j
repay a bond is`s'ue that was an obligation that was incurred. X:nuiber of
Years ago, whichever project you are'talking' about.

Councilman pekes; „Let's just take two lots and we have :a $2,000.�oo improve_ < r
<., ment project. One lot the fammily is living there, they do have a benefit'
and they are repaying the benefit. The other lot that combines the govern-
ing, body, there was an attempt made to defer that $I, as a re
of it and the interest cost by having spent that money in an.effortpto
forestall development. Knowing that that lot would develop in say two
years, M in four years it -did not develop, so. }rou.have..r choice then it
sells to me of asking, the first famil to j
Is used. to serve the second family or what h
ercacwunite have done,
just- open'it up to the general levy and let everybody pay for it. What c
we are really talking about is the carrying charge -on assessments abutting
the property and so the additional „money, to the extent there was
r.y
add money, is that choice of saying there "has bean a facility put
in past benefited property -and rather' than assessing, that pro rt
interest s;`'beng charged to help arr that Y '
p y amount of money.
Iac. Break Then I am,,at a -loss as to the rationale kor deferment
~, because,it was obvious at the time that
you were not going to have
enough money to pay for it.
NnyorStockr I think ou,have
Y to recall thedifferent things that would
influence the bond schedule itself, we have h
to help char es a portion of
that is scheduled re p 8
x p pav the bond issue itself. Then we have the
cy��trant assessments and the Council at 'the time of the sewer and water ”
project, = whatever the year` it, might,. have been, established a policy that
i
a deferment would be'given for a period not to exceed five 'years, 'in some'`
cases it was said buildable r whatever, but as we have reviewed our monies
G. that have came in to the,City coffers by those people who have connected
and versus the amounts ° de ferred and for the period of five years in that
particular project we find that due to growth and,which is caused,by,the '
bridge, the number of hookups which would have came with new homes, did
" not occur at, therate that we did anticipate. Ne felt that same of the

' the purpose of it was to desewer the lake and I think we have accomplished
or hopefully we are going to .accomplish that goal at the end of 1977 around'
Prior Lake and so .there are many things that have transpired from the time
that. we have started our first project back in 1972 and I think it is ;wise
5 that we review the situation now rather than at the end of_the 20 years and
find that we are several dollars short and would have to levy that entire
amount over the general levy of the City Of Prior Lake, I don't think thin
would be fair.

Attorney Sullivan: if we follow that line there would be no point in
saying more than 7% of the Statute,

we couldn't charge more than, the boydl..

I think the rationale behind
that 1$, one point difference is that =there

that is the reason behind it.
Mr. Traxler: I guess , that'is a question that has to be determined other

has the bridge got to do with charging us 8'interest on our deferred
property that we`were promised two or three years ago that we would not
hav6; any charges on until such time as,we subdivided' it. People on this
S806 Council told me that I could live there for the rest of my life and o

at'sotae point in time'I think we have to review them, which we are doing,.
and I feel it is our obligation to do it on the onset rather than waiting
t to the period in'time that they are actually due and then we have no funds
to pay for it. L: think that is our obligation.
Mr. Fitzgerald: I think we could take that as, then.you are saying that we
should pay for the new people that are going to move into Prior

Mr. Fitzgerald: Yes, but that is up to, I would say, to my personal
choice, because that is what'was told to me
at the hearing. "If I would
have assumed anything different at the time, I think I would have
immediately subdivided and •sold that property, but I like it there, and
I like the land, and when I was
told that I live ; ,there forever and
never be charged any amount of money other than my 150 feet °that I was

Mr. Simon: I guess,;my question is why wasn't the whole thing put on right

beyond ISO feet unless it was a corner lot then we a4led 10 feet around

was and'the deferred assessment.
Mrs. Bluedorn: Yes it was available there but it was not sent out like
Mr. Shuff was asking.
City Manager McGuire: No it was not sent out.

Mr, Shuff: In other words this one that was sent out in 1974 is only for
the 150 feet of any of these parcels that was infant assessed at that tine.
'S
Stock:
r1
Mayor I would say that is correct, yes.
Mr. Shuff: Is your opinion also available a�co py of your opinion, Mark..
Attorney Sullivan: Yes.
ax
Mr. Lawrence Schweich: I don't: fully understand Why we are here tonight.
If you have interest assessed now against the property and a
¢
you get letter.
saying it is going to be and you want to discuss it do we have to discuss
it here tonight, is there another time, if you don't discuss it tonight is
it going to goon automatically:
Mayor Stock: The 8% is the question tonight.
Mr. Schweich: "Do you have to,--voice your opinion, air your business in
public.
3
Mayor Stock: You are either for it or against it or mute at this time as
far as the 8% is
concerned.,
Mr. Schweich: Is there going to be any, consideration for larger groups of
property.where. there has been possible contract agreements or is this going
to be 8%, interest.
Mayor Stock: The talking about every deferment, now as to when than
deferment is levied I guess that is another matter
and will be discussed at
a future meeting. That interest is not levied until the assessment is
levied. Ne talking basically tonight, by>Statute,
h,
we were to notify
all people if the Council so desired °nor if the need was appropriate for "
the City in order to help repay its bond payments and again this is what
we hired a;Financial Director for,
'
to review this for us, to help us keep',"
out of trouble. It is his opinion to us that this method of charging 8%
on the deferred assessments would help in our bond repayment.
n
W. Schweich: I appreciate all that, I don't want anybody to get the
impression,I'm here to make,a lot of noise or anything, I'm a businessman
�
and I want; to stay in business and the last thing the Council I•'m sure
j
wants to do is to put be or. anybody out of business. I guess what I's
asking is there room to discuss this yet, has;it already been decided that
you are going to''go, forward and .just see how much, is there any alternate
plans to discuss or anything else we can do.
Mayor Stock: I will only speak from m y point of vi ew. I believe that we
have reviewed•the alternatives and there are vary few, because
the Statutes
for bond repayment, now maybe we were incorrect in - having any deferments.
Maybe we shouldn't have done that,: but "that's hindsight,and we felt we
were doing the best for our constituents
at the time that.we held each one
of tl►ese hearings and hoping that by giving a period of five years or in
"
some cases I recall,that we said until the time that you build -on. the lot
or °until the time that you subdivided, I` remember those I
statements, won't
deny them, and those statements we will have to deal °With; But in the later
v .
hearings it was , maximus of five years that we were g of
and I'think we have, to look at it in fairness :to everyone concerned in all
the projects and. 1W each: "t •the bond repayment. has the- -same
problem_
and it is'all because of the deferments.' Fran my point of view this is the
method' and I. would have to say, this as if I was an individual that just had
one lot and was currently assessed, 'I paid my 8% interest ,from ° the date that
`
'the
assessment was levied and so rather than at some point down the road or

whatever the magic number might be, �I think then I would be upset.
Mr. Schweich: I think.I have a little bit different situation. I as'ain
the business of developing property and right now'I'm in cospettion with
myself. I have a piece of property that, several pieces of o rt that
I have just developed, lots for sale, and these lots; I have committed
myself on these lots, there is no
stopping on them;' I have do this
;with looking at what information I had.on otheryproperties.that I owned
and decided which properties I would go ahead with and, d''
be the first one to agree evelop. I will
that if I just had a lot here
that you have to pay for it, But When you have Gre an there I know
en Acres and °stuff
like this it is going to be tough.,
Mayor Stock; That was the period of five, years that we were talking about
t that was the -whole purpose of the five years is to help to develop the stage type of development. Hopefully w ann think both
the Planning Coiwission and the Council both viewed it from the standpoint
,
that we are urging development in the areas where we have. sewer and water
U
and not out where vie don't have sewer and water As a setter of fact our
Zoning Ordinance says s
is no sewer and water available. b Solthe n five years there is
different agreement I don t think *'ould change but that is the hearing
a , g

Mr. Schweich: If we are: starting tc► charge interest, if the assessments
are not going to be called in but th`e interest,is,

HEARING
here and that is to collect interest on that deferred assessment < two, they

can assess the deferred 'assessments -so you will 'be paying both interest and

'p ay
'
then let all of the to ers in the Ci
P Cit for those assessments or the
interest
o
and the cost from carrying',those things Those.are the three things
that can be:done and I guess the question is who is going to pay for the
assessment on your property.
Mr. Schweich:: It is not reallyithat simple, the one piece of property I at
�
talking about, you wanted to go through the property with your trunk line to
;.
serve my neighbors, so I was a good "Joe" and said go ahead, but T said who
is,going to pay for the trunk line. When I
said this, Mr: Israelson said
it will "be deferred and I said for how long. He said until; it is.developed
and no less than five years, so I, said OK fine get me that in writing, and
he said OK I I
„
will. said you stop your machines and you don't go on my
property until you do,, i said you cannot do this I want it In writing.

G
City Manager McGuire: I'w`not sure that I understand your question,.
Mrs. Bluedorn: You came and asked us to go across our property to get to
fi
another property because you couldn't go the normal road route,because it f
f
„I
xa3 impossible to get through a mountain. So we allowed you tai go across
there and you 'said that it would cost us nothing,for any period of time,
'
and now you are tacking on 8% on that trunk line. Even if I didn't object
to -you going along the road I don't see how you..can go on to something you
?
protiiised there wouldn't be any,charge on, ,until such= time as our land is
developed °because we had no need for it.
Attorney Sullivan: I think we are getting ahead of things here Marlis, we
went, th ough condemnation to get the eight to cross_ your property.,
