SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PUBLIC HEARING FOR DOWNTOWN STREET
RECONSTRUCTION AND RAINWATER GARDEN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
#04.01 AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE
ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE PROJECT.
DISCUSSION:
Historv
At its regular meeting of September 7, 2004, the Council approved Resolution 04-
136, which declared the cost to be assessed, ordered the preparation of the
assessment roll and established the date of the Assessment Hearing as October 4,
2004 for the Downtown Street Reconstruction and Rainwater Garden Construction
Project (Project #04-01).
CurrentCi~ums~nces
All benefiting property owners have been mailed a Statement of Special
Assessments, which included information pertinent to their property such as the total
proposed assessment amount and the assessment rate. The Notice of the Special
Assessment Hearing was published in the newspaper on September 18th and
September 25th, 2004.
The total project cost for the improvements is $1,763,480.00. It is proposed to be
funded through tax levy, Municipal State Aid funds, TIF Bonds, Rainwater Garden
Grant and assessments. The Assessment Review Committee recommends that
$785,550.00 of the total project cost be paid through Municipal State Aid funds, TIF
Bonds, and Rainwater Garden Grants. The remaining project cost of $977,930.00
would be paid for by tax levy $586,420.00 (60%) and special assessments against
benefiting property owners $391,510.00 (40%) in accordance with the City's Special
Assessment Policy. There are 43 benefiting properties (including city owned
property) with 3,290 feet of assessable frontage in the project. The project is being
assessed on a per front foot basis.
The assessment term is ten (10) years for paving. Added to the first installment
(2004) will be an additional 88 days of interest, which accounts for the remainder of
2004 following the Assessment Hearing. An interest rate of 6% will be charged in
accordance with the City Assessment Policy.

Under State Statute, the City may only assess a property up to the amount the
property is specially benefited by the public improvement. Special benefit is
determined by evaluating the difference between fair market value before and after
the project.
The Property owners who believe that the proposed assessment exceeds the
special benefit have a right to appeal their assessments as per Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 429. Written objections must be signed and filed with the City Manager prior
to the Assessment Hearing or presented to the Council at the Hearing. Within 30
days of the hearing, the owner must also file the appeal in District Court. No appeals
were received at the time this report was prepared. We have apprised each of the
property owners of our Deferred Assessment Program.
Conclusion
The Council should open the public hearing, receive public input and then close the
public hearing. If certain issues need additional study, those issues could be
referred to the Special Assessment Review Committee for evaluation and
recommendation; otherwise, it would be appropriate to approve the attached
resolution. Statutes require that special assessments must be certified to the County
by November 30th. Since property owners must be allowed 30 days to payoff their
assessments interest free, the assessment roll must be adopted prior to November
1,2004.
Issues
The Special Assessment Review Committee has evaluated the proposed
assessments and proposes the following findings and recommendations to the City
Council:
The Special Assessment Review Committee recommends that the Front Foot
Assessment method be used for the project. The method is appropriate because
the lots vary in width and they do not all receive the same benefit.
The proposed amount to be assessed against the benefiting properties is
$391,510.00. There are 3,290 assessable front feet in the project area that are
being assessed at a 40% of the actual cost of the project. Based on the foregoing,
the proposed assessment is $119.00/ff. This is $6.001ff less than earlier estimates.
The Special Assessment Review Committee believes that the special benefit
received by each of the affected properties exceeds the proposed assessment.
Representatives of the appraisal firm of Patchin, Messner and Dodd will be present
to give a brief presentation regarding their experience with special assessments for
downtown improvements made in other communities and in support of the
assessments recommended to the Council this evening.

of six (6) percent per annum from the date of adoption of this assessment resolution. To the first
installment shall be added eighty-six (88) days of interest on the entire assessment from the date this

interest for one year on all unpaid installments.
3. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the
County Auditor, pay the whole of the assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of the
payment, except that no interest will be charged if the entire assessment is paid within thirty (30) days, and
the individual may at any time thereafter, pay to the City's Finance Director the entire amount of the
assessment remaining unpaid, excepting the installment portion appearing upon the current year's
property tax statement.
4. The Finance Director shall forthwith transmit a certified duplicate of this assessment to the County Auditor
to be extended on the property tax lists of Scott County. Such assessments shall be collected and paid to
the City in same manner as other municipal taxes.
