The project included the installation of storm sewer and curb and gutter
at a total cost of $36,293.34. The Engineer proposed to assess benefitted
properties on an area basis with the City's share being 50% of the cost. I
The City Manager recommended that the City pay 80% of project costs (50%
as a general obligation levy and 30% paid via State Aid interest account).
(See Page 2a, amended 10-4-82)
Mayor Hamilton - It would seem like a 70% figure would give us the margin
that we need which would be about $25,400 from that
interest account and assess 30%.
Councilman Neveaux - It is a dangerous precedent. That means that I pay
for a portion of that improvement down there, you do
and everybody else in the City and next year they pay
again and they pay again. I think the City of
Minneapolis does it that way. I am uncomfortable.
Don Ashworth - This project was bonded for in the 1982 bonds.
Councilman Neveaux - I believe that this is a special case and I think we
should bend as far as we can legally. I personally
would like to see it go at 80% of the charges being
picked up by the City and the remaining 20% be assessed.
Don Ashworth - Those bonds were sold with a maturity of five years and you
cannot exceed the five years.
Carol Watson - In the past has some of this been paid by general obligation
bonds or have we paid whatever the City benefitted and
the rest divided up? This 80% business, is this what we have
done in the past?
Mayor Hamilton - It's a little unusual because of the situation it is
something we have never dealt with before. I
Lewis Woitalla - I can't understand why we have to pay $5,833.47 for
extra engineer's. I don't think that is right. We have
to pay something that's really not our fault because· if
our City Manager wouldn't issue the permit we wouldn't all
be here aggravating ourselves plus the Council on account
of this.
Mayor Hamilton - As was stated earlier, because of the nature of the
project we needed to have someone out there supervising it
continually. The Engineer was unable to do that so we had
to hire someone to oversee the project.
Lewis Woitalla - That's sure a lot of money for a little bit of a job that
they done. I am assessed for three full lots in that
drainage and I don It have three full lots draining in there.
I have three partial lots at one end. I don't think that's
right neither.
Mayor Hamilton - Why don't you see Bill and get that straightened out.
Andy Borash - Can you tell me why the contractor that built these houses,
how he got out of this? Why we didn't go after him?
Mayor Hamilton - We discussed that at great length previously. You were
here. You know why.
Lewis Woitalla - We asked the question why he (contractor) was not taken
to court. We never did get an answer.
Russell Larson - It would be incumbent on the property owner to take him
to court and as I recall we investigated that and found I
that he was not financially responsible for some reason.
The City would have no basis to proceed against the
contractor for his negligence in preparing that site
for home building since we are not the owner. It would
be solely up to the property owner.
Stan Cronister - That builder is still in business.

Council Meeting September 7, 1982

Councilman Horn - What are the other options that we could use for this
State Aid Interest Account?
Bill Monk - The Council could undertake any portion of the City's
obligation in this project. However, there are monies
available in the State Aid Interest Account that are basically
unallocated for the year and I see them as a usable means
of financing the City's share of this particular project but
by no means do we have to use them. Those monies can
basically be allocated for any project that the Council would
wish to designate. The only monies that have been allocated
so far this year are for the Ironwood Drainage Project
otherwise the money has not been set up for anything and it
is the Council IS discretion to allocate those monies.
I donlt see that there will be any problem with using a
portion of next yearls interest earnings, if the Council
wishes to go that way. $18,000 is the City's participation
if we go on a strict area basis but the total could go to
$29,000.
Councilman Horn - That takes into account the State Aid portion of
interest.
Bill Monk - That1s not figured in here anywhere. That's just a suggestion
on how the City could pay its share of the assessment.
Councilman Horn - I guess what I don't understand is how we got into the
State Aid portion of it, the City's share.
Bill Monk - This project is in no way State Aid. All I am saying is that
one funding source for the City's share would be to use the
interest in the State Aid Fund. This project is not tied in
with State Aid in any way.
Councilman Horn - My question is, when you are looking at this $29,000
figure, are you taking into account using the interest
portion?
Bill Monk - Either one, I would suggest that the Council use the State
Aid interest whether it assumes 50% or 80% of the storm
sewer assessment.
Councilman Neveaux - The City's share based upon typical assessment
procedures that have been conducted in this City
for projects like this, on an area basis, comes
out to be $18,000. The maximum that we could pick
up would be that 80% figure when that $18,000 would
rise to $29,000. Either of those, or any figure
in between, will have to be picked up by either
general obligation, which we don't have monies,
or take the $18,000 or $29,000 or whatever figure
we do decide upon, out of the State Aid Fund.
As I see it there is no other option for a source
of funds other than perhaps borrowing in the next
year.
Councilman Horn - I guess my concern is we run into things like this
continually and we are not sure what our crisis is
going to be for next year. I would hate to allocate
all of our discretionary funds before we even get
started.
Mayor Hamilton - These are 1982 funds.
Councilman Horn - But we don't have to spend the money. We can use it in
the 1983 Budget if problems come up.
Mayor Hamilton - Are you suggesting that you would rather see this amount
levied on a general levy? That is an alternative.
Councilman Horn - I am not suggesting that. I am only suggesting that we
take the 50% portion out of the State Aid not the 70%

A motion was made by Councilman Neveaux and seconded by Councilwoman
Swenson to close the public hearing. The following voted in favor:
Mayor Hamilton, Councilwoman Swenson, Councilmen Neveaux and Horn. No
negative votes. Motion carried.
CARVER BEACH DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 81-4:
RESOLUTION #82-49: Councilman Neveaux moved the adoption of a resolution
certifying the assessment roll for Project 81-4 which under the provision
of Minnesota Statute 429 allows the City to assume 80% of the costs of
said project which amounts to a total of $29,030.78 and that will be 50%
as a general obligation levy and 30% out of the State Aid interest account.
The remaining 20% will be spread upon the properties in the project listed
on the drainage assessment roll and their share will be reduced from
a basic charge of $9,847.60 an acre to $3,913.00 an acre as reflected in
the Manager's comments of August 31, 1982, and the term of the assessment
will be five years at an interest rate of 13%. It is hereby declared
to be the intention of the Council to reimburse itself in the future for
the portion of the cost of this improvement paid for from municipal funds
by levying additional assessments, on notice and hearing as provided for
the assessments herein made, upon any properties abutting on the improvement
but not herein assessed for the improvement when changed conditions
relating to such properties make such assessment feasible and to the
extent that this improvement benefits non-abutting properties which may
be served by the improvement when one or more later extensions or
improvements are made, but which are not herein assessed therefor, it
is hereby declared to be the intention of the Council, as authorized by
Minnesota Statutes, 429.051, to reimburse the City by adding the portion
of the costs so paid to the assessments levied for any such later
extensions or improvements. Resolution seconded by Mayor Hamilton. The
following voted in favor: Mayor Hamilton, Councilwoman Swenson and
Councilman Neveaux. Councilman Horn voted no. Motion carried.
ASSESSMENT HEARING PROJECT 80-4
COLONIAL GROVE AT LOTUS LAKE SECOND ADDITION
Mayor Hamilton called the hearing to order with Bill McRostie, representing
Bloomberg Companies, being present. These improvements consist of sanitary
sewer, watermain, storm sewer, curb and gutter, and street for a total
cost of $217,714.40.
Bill McRostie - A somewhat extended payment schedule would be most helpful
right now. There are two parcels of property that do have
some benefit from this project and I donlt think we should
be required to pay for those properties. In the development
contract thought in terms of a minimum of eight years for
the assessment period. The City Engineer at that time
recommended 20 years in view that the costs are high per
lot. Any consideration that you could give us in extending
the assessments would be most appreciated.
Mayor Hamilton - Can we extend this over 20 years?
Don Ashworth - Eight years.

COLONIAL GROVE AT LOTUS LAKE SECOND ADDITION:
Bill McRostie - There are some parcels to the south that have some benefit.
Bill Monk - Itls the culvert that runs under Cheyenne has been plugged and I
the water from Cheyenne south has been forced to go to the south
and not continue to the north through this subdivision. I guess
there could be a portion of some front yards that could cross
the street but it is not general practice to create such small
parcels of a lot and put them in and that was not proposed in
the feasibility nor is it proposed right now.
Russell Larson - Any city property in this?
Bill Monk - No.
RESOLUTION #82-50: Councilman Horn moved the adoption of a resolution
certifying the assessment roll for Project 80-4 Colonial Grove at Lotus
Lake Second Addition, in the amount of $217,714.40 to be spread over eight
years at 13% interest. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the
Council to reimburse itself in the future for the portion of the cost of
this improvement paid for from municipal funds by levying additional
assessments~ on notice and hearing as provided for the assessments herein
made, upon any properties abutting on the improvement but not herein
assessed for the improvement, when changed conditions relating to such
properties make such assessment feasible. To the extent that this
improvement benefits non-abutting properties which may be served by the
improvement when one or more later extensions or improvements are made,
but which are not herein assessed therefor, it is hereby declared to be the
intention of the Council, as authorized by Minnesota Statutes 429.051, to
reimburse the City by adding the portion of the costs so paid to the
assessments levied for any such later extensions or improvements. Resolutionl
seconded by Mayor Hamilton. The following voted in favor: Mayor Hamilton,
Councilwoman Swenson, Councilmen Neveaux and Horn. No negative votes.
Motion carried.
Councilman Neveaux - I am somewhat uncomfortable with eight years being the
fact that this is a storm sewer, sanitary sewer~ street
resurfacing, watermain, concrete curb and gutter. I
believe that many of our projects of similar
construction are 15 years.
Bill Monk - It is at the Council IS discretion if they wish to go longer but
the bond issue that was sold was calculated at eight years.
Bill McRostie - I guess we agreed to sign the development with a minimum of
eight years under duress because it was the only way we
were going to get any kind of a contract at all. We didn't
agree to the eight years. We felt it was too short of a time.
It is a substantial burden today.
Councilman Neveaux - We do have a letter of credit. Is there some way we
could make it longer and hold that letter of credit
beyond that eight years.
Don Ashworth - A letter of credit kicks in if there is a failure by the
property owner to pay. In this case, assuming they made
payment and we would extend it out to ten or fifteen years
they would still be in compliance but it could be a problem
for us. Our repayment is set up on eight years. In all I
likelyhood, if this project were to follow 99% of them, you
are going to have pre-payments. You can1t go on that,
the way the economy is today I think people are going to
try to keep those assessments on for as many years as they
can.

Don Ashworth - I wish that there were a better alternative. If the rates
would not have been so bad earlier this year we could have
extended more maturities, again realize that if you want to
borrow money for a longer period of time your interest cost
raises.
Mayor Hamilton - Would it be possible, if we assess on an eight year term
now and then look at it as a future item to be refinanced
and spread over a longer period of time and include it with
another bond issue, would that be possible?
Don Ashworth - Yes. If we do this we will do it with the understanding
that we are going to look at it as a part of our next years
bond issue.
Bill McRostie - I would appreciate it if the resolution could some how
embody the idea that that is the sense of the Council. I
understand your problem, you have got to be able to pay the
bonds but if it truly is the sense of the Council to look
favorably the refinancing of those bonds at such time as it
is practical to do so, we would appreciate it if the motion
could reflect that.
Russell Larson - I would not recommend that.
Councilman Neveaux - Not incorporate it in the resolution.
Mayor Hamilton - We direct Don to pursue that. You will, however, pursue
that through our bond counsel for 1983 or 1984 or any year
after that to try to give you some relief.
PUBLIC ASSESSMENT HEARING
AMERICAN LEGION SEWER AND WATERMAIN PROJECT 81-5
Mayor Hamilton called the hearing to order with Bernard Schneider present
representing the Legion. This project was initiated at the request of the
Legion. This extension services only the Legion property and it is proposed
to assess the full cost to the Legion property in the amount of $36,866.03.
Bernard Schneider - I am here to voice objection to the total project cost
to be spread over a term of three to five years. I was
given a copy of the recommendations from the engineering
firm of Schoell and Madson and it is stated in there
that they recommend up to a 20 year assessment term.
I would say that the Legion probably could work over an
eight year period but a three year is out of the question
and a five year would be very difficult. The second
thing, I am not familiar with is the fact that in the
Schoell and Madson report itls stated that the cost
per acre was $2881 for the Legion's 3.5 acres for a
total estimated cost of $10,316 and the Sinnen site,
which would be 9.27 would be an estimated cost $26,710.
So now we have the total cost recommended to be assessed
to the Legion. I am wondering whether this particular
project certainly had some over sized pipes to service
the other areas and I question whether the entire amount
should be assessed to the Legion.
Bill Monk - The feasibility study was based on two possible funding options,
one that both the Sinnen and Legion sites be assessed on an area
basis and the other that the Legion would pick up 100%. It was
discussed in detail at the improvement hearing. The minutes are
attached and I believe at that time when the Council discussed
it and felt it would be very difficult to sustain an assessment
Council Meeting September 7, 1982
-6-
against the Sinnen property for this type of improvement and
the Legion was put on notice at that point. The minutes show
that the Legion would be expected to pick up 100%. After
reviewing the project in more detail I agree that the City
would have legal difficulties in sustaining a sewer and water
assessment against any portion of the Sinnen property.

AMERICAN LEGION SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN PROJECT 81-5:
RESOLUTION #82-51: Councilwoman Swenson moved the adoption of a resolution
to assess the American Legion property for a sanitary sewer and watermain
extension in the amount of $36,866.03 for an eight year period of time at
13% interest. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the Council
to reimburse itself in the future for the portion of the cost of this

PUBLIC HEARING
COULTER DRIVE AND CITY HALL SITE IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT 80-1
Mayor Hamilton called the hearing to order with Bernard and Charles
Schneider present. This project includes the construction of Coulter Drive
and the city center area improvements. It includes grading, sanitary sewer,
watermain, storm sewer, gravel base, concrete curb and gutter, street
lighting. It is proposed to assess this project to the lots in Schneider
Park. The City owns the lots in Block 1 and it is proposed that the City's
share of these assessments total $259,657 with the balance of $51,908 going
to the lots in Block 2. The Engineer pointed out that the proposed right-of-
way assessment for Lot 3, Block 2, is not consistent with the feasibility
study. That was not included as a part of the feasibility study.
I
I
Bernard Schneider - The Community Facilities Committee met several times with
Charles and myself regarding the property and then Mr.
Monk listened to us the other day and came along with the
proposed breakdown, it sort of caught me by surprise.
At the time we originally negotiated with the City
for the sale of the property, the price was $1.25 a I
square foot. This was some time two years prior to the
actual time that the City did negotiate the bond issue
and shortly before the bond issue came up we were again
approached and asked whether we would still be willing
to sell and my recollection is that we said, yes, we
Council Meeting September 7, 1982
-7-
IMayor Hamilton
Don Ashworth -
would sell and the price was mentioned. We agreed to
stay with the price provided the City paid for the costs
on the property which would be benefitting the. City.
We had to receive approval from the Commissioner of
Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
in order to exchange the property and this property could
be exchanged if we accepted like land which would be
probably better for the bank than what the bank had
prior to that time. It was our belief and I am sure
the regulatory authorities believed that this would be at
no cost to the bank. What happened, I believe, the cost
of the right-of-way is tossed in there and the cost
of the improvements. Our contention is that we have
no objection to the assessment on Lot 1, Block 2. The
other, we were of the opinion that this was going to be
borne by the City and for that reason the price of the
land was agreed to at $1.25 a square foot. I did not
talk to Councilman Neveaux but Al Klingelhutz was in our
shop the other day and I asked him whether he was of that
same opinion and he said yes, that is the understanding
he had at the time the agreement was made.
Councilman Horn - As I understand it, Bernie, you thought that the agreement
was that you would not be assessed for Lots 2 and 3, Block
2, as a result?
Bernard Schneider - That was my understanding, yes.
Charles Schneider - I think we made a condition that there be no assessments
against the bank property. That was one of the conditions.
Icouncilman Neveaux - Essentially what Bernie has said is true and what Don
has said. During the negotiation for the sale of the
property for $1.25 a square foot a part of the agreement
was the fact that the assessments for the project
essentially would fall upon Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 2,
the undeveloped parts of Parcel B to the west of the
present bank building and that there would be no
assessments against the existing bank property until such
time, if ever, the downtown development plan was put in
and then the Coulter Drive was extended through the top
part of the bank property and the existing parking area
for the City to connect up with the Ring Road and at which
time there would be that swap of land for the two parking
changes and we would be given that little piece of
severence and at that time there would obviously be
another project for the construction of that road
and that's a whole new issue then. I think that that's
where the problem is. Present assessment proposal for
the project has some costs that are placed against
Lot 3, Block 2, which should not be there. That1s my
interpretation. Not to say that when that road goes in
there won't be a benefit to you at that time. Right now
I am uncomfortable with putting a benefit against the
piece of property where nothing has happened to it.
They had sewer and water, they had streets.
- I think itls best at this time to be deferred until such
time as the road is actually constructed.
If the Council were to do that, I would suggest then that
it simply not be assessed as a part of this project.
I
Council Meeting September 7, 1982
-8-
Mayor Hamilton - It seems like it should be a part of the assessment for
the downtown redevelopment project.
Councilman Neveaux - And if it doesn't occur, the existing bank lot has I
benefitted none at all by what's happened to date. I
don't know how we could hold up an assessment and a
deferral when they havenlt benefitted.
Bill Monk - One of things that gave us problems is that the plat was not
finalized at the time of the feasibility study so it's
difficult to interpret what Parcel B became. My
interpretation is that Parcel B became Lots 1 and 2 of Block
2. That basically is what I did the assessment roll on.
The bank property is Lot 3.
Councilman Horn - I think either way you look at it the improvement does
all of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2. There is only a question
that if it covers a portion of Lot 3.
Bill Monk - The street does not. The only question is basically the
right-of-way.
Don Ashworth - This project was financed by temporary bonds of 1980.
Those bonds will require permanent financing in 1983. The
7% figure is one percent higher than what we sold the
bonds for in 1980. Starting for 1983 this would be
proposed to be assessed at 7% for 1983 but in 1984 and
years thereafter it would go up significantly. It would
go up to one percent more than whatever we sell bonds for
next year.
Bernard Schneider - Lot 1, Block 2, which is the southwest corner, does
receive some benefit but the benefits are questionable
because of the fact that it had access to that I
particular lot off Kerber Blvd. and probably off
County Road 16. The road really benefitted the City
and the property that the City purchased. At this
point it does not benefit Lots 2 and 3, Block 2, with
the exception of possibly some lighting that goes
over and keeps the place a little more safe. The
fact that the road is there is of no particular
benefit to the property. It might be at some future
date.
