PUBLIC HEARINGS
7A Public Hearing to Consider Approval of a Resolution Adopting the Assessment Roll
for Balsam Area Road Improvement Project #TRN17-000003
Project Engineer Nick Monserud presented on this agenda report dated October 16, 2017.
Briggs: Stated the estimated assessments for the reconstruction and reclamation has a re-
duced amount, share what went into the feasibility report as an estimate and where we find our-
selves now. Asked how that happened.
Monserud: Responded the biggest change between the assessment and the feasibility report is
that we received a great bid; we also noticed they have really good soils.
Briggs: Asked how any reduction in a project was tied to a specific project.
Monserud: Stated each project area had its own allocations then if there was a savings it
stayed within its project area.
Wedel: Explained the four project areas were bid into one project since we can get better pric-
ing on one larger project verses four smaller projects giving us a cost advantage up front but
each project was built into its own schedule. Added the better soil in the Balsam area resulted in
a reduced price for the Balsam area; it was not spread out through all four projects.

Draft 10 16 17 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
Wedel: Explained the assessment will be done prior to the project being complete because the
city has sold bonds to finance these projects and we need to start paying for these bonds in
January. Added if we are going to put these charges on your taxes, it has to submitted to the
county in November. Stated it is the city’s risk to adopt it prior to completion verses after since
the city cannot add on any funds if there is more cost to the project. Noted the main risk is in the
beginning because of the digging and soils.
Thompson: Stated property owners do not have to pay for it before it is done but they can.
Wedel: Added if they want to pay the assessment without interest, they need to pay within 30
days.
Jenk: Noted the group is looking for assurances that a major portion will be completed by No-
vember 15, 2017 since that is only one month away.
Schwarzhoff: Stated this is how assessments work and the process is done this way in the
event there are appeals a project can be canceled.
McGuire: Stated if this was put off for a year, the costs would be put back onto the community.
Wedel: Responded yes it would go to the entire community. Explained they would not increase
any assessment because it would have to be re-noticed and the entire process would have to
be done again.
Briggs: Asked what assurances can be given that the projects will be completed.
Monserud: Noted the contractor stated they will be starting to pave on October 26, 2017.
Briggs: Added the city can hold payments to the contractor until the project is done.
Schwarzhoff: Added in every contract the city enters into with completion dates, retainage and
a warranty.
Briggs: Stated hopefully that addresses the concerns that people may have to assure the work
will be completed.
Schwarzhoff: Reminded if anyone wants to appeal their assessment, a written objection signed
by the property owner needs to be turned in before the end of this evenings meeting; then within
30 days you need to serve it on the city and file with the court.

7B Public Hearing to Consider Approval of a Resolution Adopting the Assessment Roll
for Cates Area Road Improvement Project #TRN17-000002
Public Works Director Jason Wedel presented on this agenda report dated October 16, 2017.
Draft 10 16 17 City Council Meeting Minutes 5
Braid: Asked why the property owner who has already submitted an appeal was charged for
sewer and water hookup in the past.
Wedel: Responded in our current policy we do not charge for sewer and water but it appears
back in 1998 we did as it was in the policy at that time.
Thompson: Asked if the Albany project just a street project.
Monserud: Responded the Albany area project is a full reconstruction.
Thompson: Stated this properties assessment is lower than everybody else’s.
Wedel: Stated their assessment is the same since we are only assessing for street and storm
sewer per our current policy even though we are replacing utilities in the street; the city is paying
100% of the costs for the sewer and water in the street.
Briggs: Asked for an explanation on the changes in assessment polices in relation to this prop-
erty.
Schwarzhoff: Noted she was not hear during that time. Stated this property was never as-
sessed for a street but was assessed for sewer and water per the policy at that time. Com-
mented city’s change policies and some people benefit from them while others do not.

Briggs: Stated recently an assessment had been paid on a water project where the current as-
sessment polices do not assess for water and sewer; in that situation the council made a deci-
sion to extend a credit to the assessment based on the previous assessment. Noted this should
be considered for the appealed property as well.
Draft 10 16 17 City Council Meeting Minutes 6
McGuire: Noted he sees it different; the policy in 1998 was only for sewer and water and they
were not assessed for the street at that time because the driveway and mailbox was on a differ-
ent street.
Braid: Stated he agreed with Briggs. Noted a reduction for the property owner would be huge
and not a great impact for the city.
McGuire: Questioned if it would be wise to refer this back to the assessment committee.
Schwarzhoff: Explained we would request this is adopted then direct staff to discuss a reduc-
tion which can always be done at a later date. Reminded if anyone wants to appeal their as-
sessment, a written objection signed by the property owner needs to be turned in before the end
of this evenings meeting; then within 30 days you need to serve it on the city and file with the
court.

Public Works Director Jason Wedel presented on this agenda report dated October 16, 2017.
Thompson: Asked if the power lines have been buried on Sycamore Trail yet.
Monserud: Responded they have not been buried yet but there are discussions on timing as
curb and gutter is to be done first.
Briggs: Noted this project’s assessment is coming in lower but not as low as the others.
Mike Warner, Bolton & Menk: Explained the location of where the new construction started
was further to the west than what was originally assumed; we realigned the first curb to cover
the two properties property line so they have a new street in front of their full parcel.
Schwarzhoff: Reminded if anyone wants to appeal their assessment, a written objection signed
by the property owner needs to be turned in before the end of this evenings meeting; then within
30 days you need to serve it on the city and file with the court.

Braid: Explained the initial feasibility the cost per unit was $10,527 and the neighborhood did
not want the turnaround or hammerhead so the council removed it which lowered the costs to
$9,459.25 per unit. Noted he does not remember anyone objecting about the $10,500 or $9,400
and now the cost is at $9,142.22 per unit. Asked if he understands this turn of events correctly
and there are four independent projects under one master contract.
Wedel: Responded yes, that is correct.
Burkart: Asked would the city attorney respond to the ethics of the appeal and provide direc-
tion.
Schwarzhoff: Noted she cannot give legal advice but will say this was bid together in the bene-
fit of property owners but remain separate projects; it appears that they want to borrow savings
from another project. Stated we do not see any reason that you would reduce them but the
property owners have the right to their opinion.
