Public Hearing on Assessments for the 2019 Street Reclamation Project.

BODY
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council holds a public hearing on assessments for the 2019 Street Reclamation Project (2019STRT-A42).

Summary Report:
Process Background
The City Council is being asked to consider holding a public hearing regarding the assessments for the 2019 Street Reclamation Project (2019STRT-A42). The purpose of the hearing is to provide an opportunity for public comment on the assessments associated with the project. A required 14-day notice for the assessment hearing was published in the Northfield News on May 29, 2019 and notices (Attachment 1) were sent to property owners abutting the project. Along with the hearing notice, a copy of the proposed assessment roll (Attachment 2) and a Financial Assistance Letter (Attachment 3) were also included in the mailing.

The actions requested are required by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429, which specifies the actions that must be taken to assess property owners for the cost of local improvements. The City Council has moved this project forward to this point with the actions shown in Attachment 4.

Originally, the Public Hearing was noticed and scheduled to occur on May 21, 2019. However, an error was discovered in the original assessment roll, and the hearing was re-noticed, and rescheduled for June 18, 2019. Assessments are also scheduled for adoption at the same City Council meeting.

The following outlines the public hearing procedures as outlined in the current City Council Rules of Business (January 22, 2019):
