CDMMUNICATION: FLOLID - ASSESSMENTS
Mr. Flolid was present at the Council Meeting and stated that his letter was
partially in error. He said that on Wednesday and Thursday he had observed
the water flowing down from Hillcrest and it was going siraight down, but it seems
there is a slight depression in one area,attd when there is any debris it
sometimes causes the water to come down T�v'oody Lane onto a lot below him. He
stated he thought it would be better to have the water run into a starm sewer
and under Central Avenue instead o£ over it. He asked if this were ever done,
would the people who have already been asaeased receive compensation.
� The City Engineer stated that when Central Avenue was paved there were crossings
put in which are not £unctioning now, but eventually they will be and then the
people who are not being assessed now will be assessed�
Mayor Kirkham eacplained to A4r, Flolid that the differences in asa�saments could
be that some lots are partially in and some iots partially out of the area.
Councilman Svright stated that the aim itl to define the benefited district as
accurate�y as possible; then in the next phase the next area is assessed� in
this way no area is assessed twice. Councilmaz� Sheridan pointed out that
this started with the platting of Meloland Gardens. If the whole area had been
platted at once, the whole area would have been assessed.
The City Attorney stated that the time for appeal on this assessment has expired,
and the most practical solution would be to detertnine i£ there is any other land
contributing water to the storm sewer then the Council might feasibily make an
addition to the system� but the assessments are bu�ding no�r unless changed.
Mayor Kirkham stated that if all Mr. Flolid�s questions were not answered, the
Consulting �gineer oould review it and make a report. Mr. Flolid said that
wouldn't be necessary.
Motion b,y Covncilman Sheridan to rec�ive and file the letter from Mr. Flolid,
6053 Woody Lane� Fridley� Minnesota. The motion was seconded. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
� COMNUNICATION: UNIVEHSITY OF MINNESOTA - DISASZER SCHOOL
Councilman Wright stated that he had attended the conference last year and
had found it very useful during Fridley�s disasters.
Motion by Councilman Sheridan to receive and £ile the letter from the Un�versity
o£ Minnesota. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote� there being no nays,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried,
COMMUNICATIDh: FINANCE DIHECTOR - S#76 ASSESSMENT FGLICY
The Finance Director stated he would like the Council to look at the proposed
rolls and decide on one of them or give him some directions to do the rolls in
some other way so that they can get set for the public hearing.
Mr. kright stated he would like to speak as the Ward Counci]man on this
assessment. Ae stated that Item 2 in Sylvan Hills - the Heconstruction in
Block 2- which is an$1600 item is absolutely essential, and he iias the
impression that the Council has this point of view also. He £eels that Item 3-
Reconstruction in Block 1, Sylvan Hills should be cons3dered separate�y. He
stated that the question is whether the cost should be borne by the Gity at
large or assessed to individual owners. He stated that the system was not
satisPactory on the day o£ construction due to many different causes and
asserting the City has a share of responsibility, this would come under sewer
� repair. He sa3d that although this City has had repairs totaling more than
$20,000 in a single year, this is the largest single item ever considered.
Counci]man Wright stated that he feels the City should undertake the responsibility
£or this repair and it should not be assessed to the property owners, He £cels
this is an appropriate time to establish a sewer revenue revolving fund for
future items of this type. He was sure that following construction of the sewer,
the people o£ the area would petition for standard size streets.
Councilman Harris asked Mr. Comstock if the easements were included; he didn�t
think the City should have to pay for the easements if this were put on General
Obligat3on Bonds. N1r. Comstock answered that he thought the property owners
would be glad to give the easements judging by the turnout there has been,
Councilman Wright stated that the Council could use the occasion o£ the cublic
Hearing to request the cooperation of the people as to easement dedication,
whieh would just be dug up - not lost, and completed petitions for streets.
�'4
3/7/66
A visitor to the Council Meeting stated that the people in Sylvan Hills feel
they have already been assessed for the original sewer� and they feel this is
a replacement caused bg rezoning from single homes to apartments, and the people
don�t want to be assessed twice. He felt the only improvement is to the apartment
houses and they should get the assessment; not the home owners as they feel they
have paid already. He stated that he hadn�t understood Mr. Wright�s statement�
and Councilman Yuright said he will restate it at the Public Hearing.
Mayor Kirkham said that no action was needed at this time, and no other rolls
need be prepared.
Mayor liirkham said it was his understanding that the conduits Por the semaphores
on ihe corner of 53rd and Highway /fb5 are already in place. Mr. 3heldon
Mortinson was pr�sent and stated that these semaphores are scheduled to be
installed, but the Highway Department i�as told him it w311 be over a year from
now and he would appreciate the Council�s help in asking the Minnesota Highway
Department to expedite the installation.
It was suggested that in writing to the Minnesota Highway Dapartment the number
o£ incresing accidents at this location should be cited, Mr. Mortenson also
asked the Council for asaistance in obtaining bus service out Central Avenue.
The City Manager stated that he was e�cpecting a letter from the hospital also
requesting bus service.
Motion by Councilman Samuelson to receive the Ietter from Mr. Sheldon A.
Mortenson and direct the City Manager to write a letter to the Minnesota
Highway Department relative to the installation of semaphores on the corner of
53rd and Highway #/65, and a letter to the Ti,�in City Transit Company, enelosing
the letter from the hospital i£ it has been received� stating that the Council
eupports them in whatever they ask of the RailrQad and Warehouse Commiseion.
