CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 28, 1996 •
an individual had offered to donate one year's supply of dog food and about $1.900
had been collected or pledged toward the cost of the K -9 program.
Veterinarian Virgil Voigt informed the Council that the consensus of the citizenry
was to keep the canine program, and it was a very unpopular decision to cut it from
the budget. He requested that the Council find the funding to support the program.
The daughter of Officer Mark Schoutz requested that the City Council reconsider
their decision. She pointed out that other communities were envious of Hutchinson's
canine program, and K -9 Don's services were used in dangerous situations. Also. the
dog is used as a back -up while on duty.
Mayor Torgerson commented that the program cost $14- 15,000 a year, and a special
squad car was required for K -9 Don. He was not optimistic that the City of
Hutchinson would continue the program since the County would be starting a similar
unit; however, the Council would place all the comments under advisement.

69th ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXPOSITION
An invitation from WEF President
Dr. Richard D. Kuchenrither
I would like to invite you to join us at %%EFFEC '96, being held this October in Dallas, Texas
This ,year's conference theme focuses on environmental education.
Texas continues to be a leader in public education, so it is appropriate that WFF is highlighting
environmental education this vear in Dallas. Our members recognize that the public needs to
be involved in order to meet the challenges we face and gain the necessary support to protect
our water quality_ Therefore, we must strive hard to educate audiences ranging from adults to
students. WEF's annual conference is alwa about top -notch education for the water quality
professionals, however, events such as this year's WET EC for Teachers, a hands -on workshop
for 150 Texas teachers sponsored by WEA of Texas and the Public Education Committee,
illustrates the emphasis on teaching the public, in this case, students, how they can impact and
improve water quality.
As you preview our program on the following pages, I want to point out a few modifications
we've made to this year's agenda. Based on attendee recommendations, we have revised
conference activities to better fit vour hectic schedule. And in a continued effort to offer you
the highest quality in wastewater education, we have added several new programs.
• The Opening General Session has returned to bfondav morning to better accommodate our •
attendees' schedules. So be sure to attend this event, featuring a performance by Small
Change Original Theater who will demonstrate how environmental education can be fun.
and "Exploring a World without Boundaries," a presentation by Dr. Joseph Maclnnis that
will excite and inspire you.
• The traditional Federation Luncheon has been replaced b a new networking Roundtable
Luncheon which will offer you an interactive forum for information exchange. You will hate
the opportunity to take part in an in -depth discussion on one of 46 issues on 14 water
quality topics.
• The Awards Ceremony and Changing of the Gayel has moved from Wednesday evening to
Tuesday evening. This is your chance to stop by to congratulate your peers and welcome the
new WEE President.
• The Government Affairs Group has developed a new seminar that will Locus on current and
future environmental policy initiatives. This three hour plenary session will be held on
Tuesday afternoon and provides a forum for policy officials.
In addition to these events, we have our core conference activities, which collectively make
WEFTEC the most comprehensive environmental conference in the western hemisphere.
You'll have the choice of more than 450 papers, presented in 75 technical sessions, on issues
that effect your dally operations. Plus, over 600 exhibiting companies will be waiting to meet
with you to demonstrate the latest technological advances and services available in the water
quality industry.
I hope you can join us' ������ y,�/�� •
Dr. Richard D. Kuchenrither •
Plan now to attend WEFTEC '96 — register before June 28, 1996, and take advantage of the

TO: Ken Merrill - Director of Finance
FROM: Mary Beth Schaufler - HCDC Coordinator IL J
RE: SBDC
Ken,
I �
The State Contracts are signed and so is the Contractor's Agreement for SBDC with Duane
Hoversten. With those contracts in place we are now ready to invoice Jack Hawk at
Marshall.
It was agreed by HCDC, Duane Hoversten and Jack Hawk of SBDC at Marshall that
Hoversten worked 136.25 hours during his services in January and February, 1996. The
rate of pay is $75.00 per hour amounting to $10,218.75. Please mail an invoice from the
City of Hutchinson to Jack Hawk at the address listed below as soon as possible. The
invoice should show $75.00 per hour feel less a $30.00 per hour discount to HCDC as in-
kind contribution.
Remember, Ken, that the City of Hutchinson will not actually pay Hoversten until we re-
ceive the full amount from Jack Hawk. Once the money is received then we should pay
Hoversten. (The City of Hutchinson will act only as a flow - through account for SBDC out of
Marshall so that they can get a cash match from the State.)
I would like the City Council to be made aware of this transaction and if possible, could the
Finance Department draft the check now and hold on to it until Hawk's check is received.
Duane Hoversten is anxious to receive his payment, and I'd like to pay him just as soon as
the payment received from Hawk is deposited to the City account.
Hawk's address is:
Jack Hawk Phone #: 1- 800 - 642 -0684 ext. 7386
Minnesota Small Business Fax #: 507 - 537 -6094

the successful completion of each recreation phase $3,000 dollars would be returned to DMC
development.
• This project would generate $6,000 in parkland dedication fees and provide $12,000
worth of play value on site. If the Board had decided to follow the current $135 per unit cost,
$18,225 would have been generated plus on site recreation may have been required.

RE: Triax/DD Cable Merger Approval Process
Dear Mr. Plotz:
• As you know, we have taken the position that the procedural timelines of state law relating
to your review of the requested transfer of ownership are preempted by the 120 -day maximum
timeline requirement of federal law. Unfortunately, legal counsel for the cable companies has
taken a contrary position and refused to cooperate in an acknowledgment of federal preemption
or a waiver of the state timelines (as has been done by other companies).
While we could have sought clarification in a court of law, we have chosen not to
recommend that you incur such expense. Instead, we recommend that you comply with both state
and federal timelines.
Compliance requires:
1. The enclosed letter sent May 14, 1996.
2. You oneninY a public hearine on this matter within 30 days of the comnanv's
receipt of this letter (sometime on or before June 17) Please see the recommended
enclosed Notice of Public Hearing.
(3.) Do not close this public hearing, but continue it until further notice of this office.
4. , Forward to this office notice of the date of your public hearing.

We are still negotiating the reimbursement of your expenses in this matter and will not
hold you responsible for expenses incurred until a commitment from the cable company is
received.
Should they refuse reimbursement, we will forward to you a Resolution denying the
request for approval since you will be unable to fund your fiduciary responsibility for review.
If I can answer any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
BERNICK AND LIFSON, P.A.

Dear Messrs. Langley and Shanks:
We have received correspondence from your legal counsel, Jane Bremer, indicating that
she does not concur with our prior opinion that the Federal Cable Act, which guarantees that
municipalities have 120 days to approve or deny transfer requests, preempts the significantly
shorter and therefore inconsistent procedural timelines created by Minn. Star. § 238.083, Subds.
2-4.
While we believe this interpretation to be incorrect and an unnecessary financial and
administrative burden on both the municipalities and companies, we believe that compliance with
the preempted state law will be less burdensome on our clients than formal adjudication of the
preemptory effect of federal law on state law.
Mr. Joseph Shanks
Mr. Robert Langley •

Accordingly, on behalf of the above- referenced municipalities and municipal consortia, you
are hereby notified in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 238.083, Subd. 2, the requested merger of
Triax Midwest Associates, L.P., and DD Cable Parmers, L.P., DD Cable Holdings, Inc., and
its various subsidiaries d/b /a Northland Cablevision or Midwest Cablevision, may adversely affect
subscribers of either or both of the companies, and a public hearing is necessary with respect to
each of the above - referenced municipalities or municipal consortia. Each of the above- referenced
municipalities or municipal consortia will open a public hearing on the requested transfer within
30 days of your receipt of this letter. An official from both of the merging companies should
attend to respond to specific questions which may arise.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or my associate, Robert Vose, with any questions.
Sincerely,
BERNICK AND LIFSON, P.A.

Dear Mr. Torgerson:
•
•
We are very pleased to inform you that Triax Midwest Associates, L.P. ( "Triax "), DD Cable Holdings,
Inc. &b /a Midwest Cablevision, DD Cable Partners, L.P. d b/a Northland Cablevision and various
subsidiaries of DD Cable Holdings, Inc. (collectively "DD Cable ") have reached an agreement (the
"Transaction ") whereby the companies will merge and combine their respective cable television system
assets into a restructured Triax Midwest Associates, L.P. (`Triax "). As a courtesy, we have attached
information about Triax and its exciting objectives for the future.
Triax and DD Cable are extremely excited about the benefits that this merger will provide to our
customers, employees and investors. The merged company will pass a combined 360,916 homes and
will serve 241,580 customers. The combination of the companies will create a stronger entity with
greater access to funding for system improvements and capital expenditures designed to enhance
customer service and choice, improve system reliability and increase system functionality. Importantly,
since Triax and DD Cable currently cover similar and often adjacent geographic areas, the combination
of the systems will provide Triax the opportunity to maximize service delivery and quality in a more
efficient manner to the benefit of our customers.
As described more fully in the attached materials, DD Cable will contribute its assets to the merged
company and will be issued new limited partnership interests. A nine- person Advisory Committee
comprised of Triax, DD Cable and representatives of the new investors will be formed which will be
responsible for certain decision - making responsibilities. Also attached please find for your review a
Funding Sources schedule for equity and debt funding.
As this merger affects the cable television system serving } our community, we are seeking your consent
to the Transaction and have attached a resolution granting the requested consent for your review. We are
requesting your prompt attention to this matter and your consent thereto. We have attached the
information required under federal and state law to facilitate your consideration of this request. The
closing of this proposed Transaction is expected to occur during August 1996, or sooner if all required
regulatory approvals have been obtained. Further, federal law provides that upon receipt of the attached
information, the City will be provided a maximum of 120 days from the date of this submission to act
upon the request. Consequently, we will be seeking favorable consideration of this request at your
earliest convenience.
Should you have any questions or comments, please call Ric Hanson of Triax at 800- 332 -4954, or Joe
Shanks of DD Cable at 612- 895 -1530.

PUBLICATION NO. 4927
PAGE
The City will present its case first by calling witnesses who may testify by •
narratives or by examination, and by the introduction of exhibits. After each
witness has testified, the contesting party will be allowed to ask questions.
This procedure will be repeated with each witness until neither side has
further questions.
2. After the City has presented all its evidence, the objector may call witnesses
or present such testimony as the objector desires. The same procedure for
questioning of the City's witnesses will be followed with the objector's
witnesses.
3. The objector may be represented by counsel.
4. Minnesota rules of evidence will not be strictly applied; however, they may
be considered and argued to the Council as
to the weight of items of evidence or testimony presented to the Council.
5. The entire proceedings will be tape recorded.
6. At the close of presentation of evidence, the objector may make a final
presentation to the Council based on the evidence and the law. No new
evidence may be presented at this point.
An owner may appeal an assessment to District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section •
429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Administrator within 30 days
after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten
days after service upon the Mayor or City Administrator.
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.193 to 435.195, the Council may, in its discretion,
defer the payment of this special assessment for any homestead property owned by a person
65 years of age or older for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When
deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason
provided in that law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any
assessed property owner meeting the requirements of the law and the resolution adopted
under it, may within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment, apply to the City Clerk,
for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his
property.

RE: Civic Arena "Mighty Ducks" Grant
The City of Hutchinson has been awarded a grant from the State of Minnesota for
improvements to the Civic Arena. These improvements are: #1. Installation of a
dessicant dehumidifier, # 2. Placement of an energy saving low emmisivity ceiling
curtain, #3. Painting of arena ceiling, #4. Replacement of the existing lighting
system. The total project is valued at approximately $100,000. It is a matching grant,
• with the local match being provided from a variety of sources.
The state will pay up to $50,000. of the project. The local match will come through
these sources: Donation and installation of the dehumidifier by the group, Family
Pledge for Summer Ice, in -kind services of machinery costs and city employee labor,
volunteer labor hours, and cash donations from the Family Pledge group and the
Hutchinson Youth Hockey Association. The city's actual cash outlay will be
approximately $10,000 - $12,000., depending upon the actual costs incurred.
The grant is considered an end grant, with payment coming from the state after the
project is complete. Therefore, the city is required to pay for the project costs until
completion, and then receive reimbursement from the state's grant fund.
To proceed with the work, your approval is requested to execute the contractual
agreement between the state and the city. Barry Anderson has reviewed the agreement
and has recommended that we proceed. Your approval is also requested to provide the
necessary funding for the project, and authorization to advertise for bids.
Thank you for your consideration.

I would appreciate it if you would place, on the agenda, a request from our office for the City
Council to §chedule a closed meeting for the purpose of discussing the above referenced
matter. In light of the attendance of various council members at the League of Minnesota
Cities and also in light of vacation schedules and related issues, I would suggest that we
consider this request at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting with an eye towards
having the closed meeting at the first regularly scheduled City Council meeting in July.
Based on my last conversation with representatives of Landwehr Construction, I am optimistic
that we may be able to resolve this matter at that time.
Thank you. Best regards.
Very truly yours,

MEMO
O F F I C E
Date: June 25, 1996
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Gary D. Plotz, City Administrator
Subject: HUM R ESOURCES POSITION
In view of the upcoming retirement of the Human Resources Director, I recommend a revised job
description and a transitional period between Hazel Sitz and the new Human Resources Director.
The revised job description shows changes in italics. The changes are consistent with the refocusing
of the position toward more employee training, and also responsibilities involving our "Excellence
Plus" planning program. Please note the position is a full -time position, although it has been at the
80% of full -time level for years.
All responsibility changes in the position have been reviewed by the Directors, and it is the
consensus that the changes are positive improvements. Hazel will be present at the Council meeting
to assist in answering any questions.
My intention is to advertise /post internally to seek candidates and to choose from within the
organization. This will maximize the overlap training that could exist from September through
Hazel's February 28, 1997 retirement date without creating payment for two salaries. External
advertising is not required, and currently we have no policy or legal requirement to do so.
In the event that the Council would like to either advertise externally and/or participate on the
interview committee (one or more members), I would be happy to include you.

Dennis Potter and a representative from Berkley Risk Services (
Mark Flaten or his assistant) will be at the City Council Meeting
with the insurance renewal information. The policy covers the
city's liability, building, and auto.
• Dennis tells me the numbers which are now being prepared would make
the renewal numbers the same as last year. The only increase is
due to valuation increases.
The policy is with the League of Minnesota Cities and have a July
1 renewal date.

FOR YOUR INEOBIMM
I am enclosing herewith a recent decision of the Minnesota Court of
Appeals, decided on May 3, 1996, entitled Singer vs. City of
Minneapolis Finance & Commerce, May 3, 1996, page 43.
The decision is interesting in that it upholds the right of the
City of Minneapolis to collect special assessments for nuisance
abatement.
Unfortunately, the statutory authority under which the City of
Minneapolis acted is specifically limited to the City of
Minneapolis. Under the special legislation, the City of
Minneapolis is entitled to provide for assessment for the service
to streets, sidewalks, street cleaning, sewer charges, water
charges, solid waste disposal charges and "any other charges for
abatement of nuisance conditions as defined by the City." Laws of
Minnesota for 1994 Chapter 587, Article 9, Section 2.
I am enclosing a copy of Minn. Stat. §429.101 dealing with service
charges which outlines the charges that the governing body of a
municipality may collect and this is somewhat more restrictive than
the provisions in the above entitled case.
However, I thought the Council would find this discussion to be
interesting and it is encouraging that the Court of Appeals did
uphold the right of a municipality, under whatever theory, to deal
with nuisance issues.

FINANCE t1ND COMMERCE APPELLATE CouRfs EDITION MAY 3, 1996
Sahesourinh's property damage claim.
From February 24, 1992, to July 1, 1992, Senesourinh's
no -fault insurer, Grinnell Mulual Insurance, paid wage
loss benefits, but halted the payments after an indepen-
nt medical examination. Senesourinh then attempted to
m to work, but after two hours on the first day, she
came diuy and fell.
Senesourinh contacted Hansen and told him that she
needed money. On July 7, Hansen met with her at her
home. No interpreter was present and Senesourinh was
not represented by an attorney. Hansen offered $7 to
settle the personal injury claim. Senesourinh responded
that she wanted $10,0100. After they ultimately settled on
59,000, Hansen read hers sculement release.A portion of
rte ensuing conversation balween Hansen and
Senesourinh was taped and transcribed.
Just three weeks or so later, Senesourinh contacted a
lawyer. prod sing to pursue a perxnal injury claim a_einst
Sta!a Farm and Wurzinger. As a first step, Senesourinh ini-
tialed this declaratory judgment action to set aside the
release. Following a court trial, the court determined that
Senesourinh had an adequate understanding of the agree-
ment and dismissed herclaim. This appeal followed.
DECISION
In a declaratory judgment action tried without a jury, the
court's factual findings must be sustained unless they are
manifestly contrary to the evidence or not supported by
the evidence as a whole. Waste Recovery Coop. v.
County of Hennepin, 475 N. W.2d 892, 894 (Minn. App.
1991), review denied (Minn. Dcc.9, 1991). An agree-
ment settling a dispute is presumed valid. Sorensen v.
Coast -To -Coast Stores, 353 N.W.2d 666, 669 (Minn.
App. 1984), review defiled (Minn. Nov. 7, 1984). A
release is invalid, however, if it was executed under cir-
cumstances showing a release was not intended. Id.
We conclude that the trial court's finding that
esourinh "mastered an adequate understanding of
release is clearly erroneous. Because she did not
nderstand the release, she will not be held to have
intended that it have effect.
The trial court's finding of "understanding" is incom-
patible with the findings of two psychologists that
Senesourinh had difficulty understanding spoken
English, their tests "cast doubts as to how much she truly
understands when engaged in conversation," and
it is highly improbable that [Senesourinh] under-
stood the meaning of the insurance release which
she signed, even though it was read to her.
There was no expert testimony contradicting the psychol-
ogists' opinions. Furthermore, when read in its entirety,
the transcript of the taped portion of the conversation
between Hansen and Senesourinh after Hansen read the
release does not reveal in any way that Senesourinh "mas-
tered" the contents of the release. When Hansen asked
Senesourinh if she had coverage through Grinnell, she
responded, "What mean ?" When he asked if she under-
stood that the release had no bearing on her benefits from
Grinnell, Senesourinh asked, "Um, what do you mean ?"
After Hansen further explained that signing the release
would not affect "your own medical bills [through] your
own company • ' " Senesourinh said, "Means that when
I go see the doctor that my company no pay me no more
then I take the money over."
Courts have used a variety of factors in examining a
party's intent to release a claim. See Schmitt -Norton
Ford, Inc. v. Ford Motor Co., 524 F. Supp. 1099, 1102-
03 (D. Minn. 1981) (listing six factors), afrd 685 F.2d
438 (1982); Schmidt v. Smith, 299 Minn. 103, 109.10,
6 N. W 2 669, 673 (1974) (listing eight factors). Those
ors make the following facts relevant: (1) Senesourinh
as not represented by legal counsel; (2) the release was
written at an 11.9 to 17.4 grade level; (3) Hansen told
Senesourinh that she could "still submit the medical bills and any wages to" Grinnell, even
though a Grinnell representative the previous day had told Hansen himself that
Grinnell would not make any more payments; and (4) public policy favors setting aside
this release because its enforcement would likely lead to society supporting Senesourinh.
See Schmitt- Norion, 524 F. Supp. at 1102 -03 (factors include absence of legal counsel,
language of release and whether the plaintiff was permitted to change it, inequitable con-
duct, and public policy); Schmidt, 299 Minn. at 110, 216 N.W.2d at 673 (factors include
absence of legal counsel and lang,,a ;e of release, i.e., whether it iccludes unkr,o'�n
injuries); In re Larson, 228 Minn. 216, 219, 36 N.W2d 601, W3 (;949) (public has spe-
cial interest in preveming injured puns from becoming burdens on sciety because of
impro ideal settlement).
There were many "sic posts" alerting Hansen that it was recessary to have a third party
present to ensure that Senesourinh understood the legal effects of the release.
Senesourinh's financial distress and confusion over the release were dear. Hansen never
even attempted to explain what "sculement" or "release" meant. He seemed to be con-
cerned only with limiting State Farm's liability.
State Farm argues that Senesourinh failed to meet the clear and convincing standard for
setting aside a personal injury release. Senesourinh argues that the standard is preponder-
ance of the evidence. We decline to Me on the proper standard, ruling instead that of these
facts Senesourinh met her burden, whether the clear and convincing standard or the pre-
ponderance of the evidence standard is applied.
Senesourinh argues that the trial court abused its discretion by excluding testimony that
some of her injuries were unknown when the release was executed. Because we reverse the
trial court on other grounds, it is unnecessary to address this argument.
Reversed.

Appellant Jack M. Singer purchased property located at 2319 Irving
Avenue North in Minneapolis at a tax foreclosure sale on April 29, 1994.
Prior to foreclosure, respondent City of Minneapolis (the City) had levied
$863.76 in special assessments against the property for municipal services
perform on the property.t
'The aesea6mera were for work done by the City in 1993 including femoral of. pr-

,reeds, aM brusli - S232.00, discarded cough - -St 99.88.
Although these assessments were canceled by the foreclosure action, the
City h eld a hearing on August 23, 1994 to reassess that amount?
2 The Terms of Sale Singer agreed to wren purchasing the property included: •
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS- If a parcel had canceled special assess
marts, as indicated on the puts atlon list. a percentage of the pur-
chase pica will be apped to the Published amount of special assess
merits. Any remaining tealance rna be reassessed by the municipali-
ty Local Improvements not yet assessed, and special assassmerns
l e e red a for mu be ass rn ed by the p urchase+.
The hearing officer reco- mended imposing the assessments, which the
City levied against the property on November 10, 1994.
Singer appealed to the district court. The district court affirmed, holding
that the City had properly exercised its authority to make the assessments,
that Singer had received due process. that Singer had failed to produce any
evidence to challenge the amount of the assessments, and that his other
arguments were not pertinent. Singer appeals.
DECISION
The facts of the case are not in dispute; Singer raises numerous pro se
legal arguments. The only issue on appeal is whether the district court
erred in its application of the law. Flugerbut Corp. v, Suburban Nat'l
Bank, 460 N.W.2d 63, 65 (Minn. App. 1990). Statutory construction is
also a legal issue that we review de novo. Doe v. State Bd. of mledlcal
Ex i rnlners, 435 N.W.2d 45, 48 (Minn. 1989).
1. Compliance with LAw
The City had the authority to levy special assessments against Singer's
property for abating nuisances. Minnesota Statutes chapter 429 governs
local improvements and special assessments and is made applicable to the
City of Minneapolis by 1969 Minn. Laws ch. 499, §§ 1 -2.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the charter of me ety of Minneapolis or of any
stannory enactment, the provisions of Minnesota Stahaas 1967, Chapter 429, are
heraby made applicable to the city of Minneapolis, and sad city. at its option, may
make any oral impravemem and levy any special assessment ermer under its home
fine Harter,
or under said Chapter 429. a under other mrsurig statutory authwrty as
council of the city of Minneapolis may in each rase determine.
Notwithstanding any provisions of the charter of Vie city of Minneapolis, a of any
statutory enactments, the said cry may provide lot t^e collection of special charges fa
as or any part of the cost cf any service ;o sweets, s,derrlks, or other property, sweet
o4irg, street flushing and cieaning, and any and all other services or improvements
specified in said Chapter 429, as a special assessment against the property benefited_
The procedure for cite levy of sa.d special assessmen Shat, d the aty elects to procc�ad
under the p rwisons o f said Chapt 4 be as proved in said Chapter 429.
The legislation was amended in 1994 to include language specifically
authorizing the City to ca llcet special assessments for abating nuisances.
1994 Minn. hws ch. 537. ,n. 9, § 4. The City has defined "nuisances " on
private property to include noxious weeds, grass over eight inches tall,
garbage, and brush that constitutes a hazard to the public. Minneapolis,
Minn., Code of Ordnanccs § 227.90 (1989).
The City has established a prci for notifying property owners of
nuisance conditions and the abatement of such conditions:
All costs, including an administrative fee, incurred by the city for
the removal and disposition of the offensive matter or for correct-
ing the nuisance shall be assessed '•'. In cases where there have
been two (2) authorized removals of offensive conditions and/or
vegetation at a given site within any twelve -month period, the third
and subsequent abatement assessments shall have a double admin-
istrative fee until such time as no authorizations are required for a
period of twelve (12) months.
••• [The City] shall mail to the owner a notice of intent to assess
the costs of said action. Such notice shall state the amount and
basis for the costs and the time, date and place of a hearing before
a bearing officer appointed by the council to determine the validity
and amount of the proposed assessment.
Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 227.100 (1993).
Minneapolis ordinances do not address reassessment of tax - forfeited
land that is returned to private ownership. But according to chapter 429,
• [w]hen a parcel of tax - forfeited land is returned to private owner-
ship and the parcel is benefited by an improvement for which spe-
cial assessments were canceled because of the forfeiture, the
municipality that made the improvement may, upon notice and
hearing as provided for the original assessment, make a reassess-
ment or a new assessment as to the parcel in an amount equal to the
amount remaining unpaid on the original assessment.
Minn. Star. §429.077, subd. 4 (1994). A property owner may appeal an
assessment to district court Minn. Slat. §429.081 (1994).
Singer argues that the assessments are invalid because the City failed to apply
a consistent authority throughout the assessment process. According to Singer,
the City may use either the ordinances or chapter 429, but rat bah. Tne Gty
at its option, may make any local improvement and levy any spe-
cial assessment either under its home rule charter, or under
said Chapter 429.
1969 Minn. Laws ch. 499, § 1 (emphasis added). This court has previous-
ly stated, however, that "the 1969 session law both expressly allows the
city to proceed with local assessments under its charter and makes chapter
429 available to the city." Gadey v. City or Minneapolis, 517 N.W.2d
344, 348 (Minn. App. 1994) (emphasis added), review denied (Minn.
Aug. 24, 1994). Neither the session law, nor our interpretation of it in
Gadey, precludes the City from proceeding under both its ordinances and
chapter 429. We thus hold that it was proper for the City to utilize both the
ordinances and the statute authorizing reassessment.
Singer also argues that the City impemtissibl applied a statute retroac-
tively. The 1994 session laws allowed Minneapolis to make special assess-
ments for the "abatement of nuisance conditiorl 1994 Minn. Laws ch.
587, art. 9, § 4. Because no effective date was stated, the statute took effect
August 1, 1994. Minn. Star. §645.02 (1994).
The law was not applied retroactively. The hearing on the assessment
was held August 23, 1994, three weeks after the session law took effect.
The assessment was levied November 10, 1994. Furthermore, even though
� the work was done in 1993, the 1969 session law allowed the City to col -
eG special assessments for a list of things "and any and all other services
or improvements specified in said Chapter 429." 1969 Minn. Laws ch.
499, § 2. The 1994 session law makes the earlier legislation more specific,
but the City had authority to make special assessments for nuisances under
MAY 3,1996
the 1969 legislation. See generally Nardini v. Nardini, 414 N.W.2d 184,
196 (Minn. 1987) ( "a clarifying act is to be read into statutory law retro-
spectively").
2. Constitutionali of Assessme
4 he Attorney General was notified of this constitutional challenge but chose not to
intervene.
Singer contends that the assessments are unconstitutional. According to
the Minnesota Constitution:
Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects and shall be
levied and collected for public purposes •• ". The legislature may
authorize municipal corporations to levy and collect assessments
for local impmvemenr.s upon property benefited thereby without
regard to cash valuation.
Minn. Const. art. X, § 1. Singer Srsi claims that the Iegislaeion allowi,^,g
the City to pass its own ordinances regarding special assessments violates
the requirement that taxes be uniform. We disagree; the Constitution
specifically authorizes such legislation.
Singer next argues that the amount of the assessment was excessive,
making it a taking. If the amount of an assessment is higher than the bene-
fit conferred, the govemmental entity has committed an unconstitutional
taking without just compensation. Tri -State Land Co. Y. City of
Shoreview, 290 N.W.2d 775, 777 -78 (Minn. 1980). Assessments are pre-
sumed valid. Buzick v, City of Blaine, 505 N.W.2d 51, 53 (Minn. 1993);
Tri-State, 290 N.W.2d at 778. The party contesting the assessment has the
burden of presenting evidence that the amount charged is greater than the
increase in value to the property. Tri-State, 290 N.W.2d at 778. Singer did
not present any evidence to the district court on the value of the improve-
ment to his property compared with the amount of assessment. Nor did he
present evidence regarding competitive rates or whether a service charge
was added. The assessment is presumptively valid.
Singer also claims that cutting weeds and hauling away old furniture is
not an improvement and actually decreases the property's value by remov.
ing things from his property. This argument lacks merit. Abating nuisances
on private property is an improvement See, e.g., Minn. Stat. §429.021,
subd. 1 (1994) (listing authorized improvements).
3. Due Process
Singer contends he was denied due process of law. He also claims that he
was entitled to a hearing before the City Council rather than a hearing offi-
cer. Due process means that
the property owner is entitled to a reasonable notice and heating
before his property is subjected to the lien of a special assessment
for a local improvement.
Meadowbrook Manor, Inc, Y. City of St. Louis Park, 258 Minn. 266,
270, 104 N. W-2d 540, 543 (1960).
The City followed the procedures specified in Minneapolis, Minn., Code
of Ordinances § 227.100 by mailing Singer notice and conducting a hear-
ing before a hearing officer prior to imposing the special assessment. The
ordinance does not grant Singer a right to a hearing before the City
Council. These ordinances do not deny Singer due process of law.
4. Other Issues
We agree with the district court that the other issues Singer raises do not
pertain to the validity of the special assessment.

UNPUBLISHED OPINION
FOL.EY, Judge (Hon. Smith R Eggleston, District Court Trial Judge)
A coowner of real property appeals the district court's award of certain
fees and costs associated with the partition of the property. The district
court did not abuse its discretion in imposing those fees and costs, and we
affirm.
FACTS
Appellant John Pfaff and respondent lames Michael each owned an
undivided one -half interest in real property. In 1994 Michael commenced
a partition action. Michael sought an immediate public sale of the proper-
ty. Pfaff agreed that the property should be sold, but only after appraisals
and a private auction. The district court agreed to Pfaff's demands and
ordered two appraisals of the property and a private auction. The
appraisals valued the property at 5580,000 and $645,000 respectively.
There were no buyers for the property at those paces.
The district court amended its order and granted Michael's request for an
immediate public auction without a minimum price. Michael made all the
arrangements for the sale. Pfaff and Michael were the only bidders at the
sale. Pfaff submitted the highest bid and purchased the property for
$500,000.
The district court granted Michael's petition for $24,799.79 in costs and
fees associated with the sale from the sale proceeds. Because these deduc-
tions occurred before disbursement to the parties, the district court effec-
tively required Pfaff to pay one half of Michael's total attorney fees. The
district court reduced Pfaff's proceeds by $38,139.63 for past property
taxes and interest on the taxes that had been paid by Pfaff. The court fur-
ther reduced Pfaff's proceeds by $3,812.36 for past rents and interest on
the rents collected by Pfaff. The district court finally ordered Pfaff to pay
the entire $6,200.00 cost of the two appraisals.
Pfaff appeals the district court's imposition of fees and costs. He argues
that the district court erred by requiring him to pay one -half of Michael's
attorney fees, interest on the back taxes, interest on the past rents, and the
entire cost of the appraisals
DECISION
Assessment of fees and costs in an action for partition lies within the dis-
cretion of the district court. Kuller v. Koller, 260 Minn. 256, 260, 109
N.W.2d 561, 563 (1961). The district court's determination of reasonable
fees and costs is a finding of fact and will not be reversed unless clearly
erroneous. Amerman v, Lakeland Dev. Corp., 295 Minn. 536, 537, 203
N.W.2d 400, 400-01(1973) (per curiam).
The costs and charges of a partition of real property 'shall be paid by the
parties respectively entitled to share in the land, and the amounts to be paid
by each shall be determined by the court ' ' " ' Minn. Stat. §558.10
(1994). The district court deducts the general costs of a partition action
from the proceeds of the auction before distributing proceeds to the par-
ties. Minn. Star. §558.16 (1994). When the final partition of the propen
benefits both parties, the court may, in its discretion, award atlomey fees to
the plaintiff. Hanson v. Ingwaddson, 84 Minn. 346 -47, 87 N.W. 915, 915
(1901) (per curiam); Kuller, 260 Minn. at 260, 109 N.W.2d at 563.
Pfaff argues that the district court abased its discretion by requiring hm
to pay one -half of Michael's attorney fees when the parties disputed the
partition action. See Kuller,260 Minn. at 260,109 N.W.2d at 563 (permit-
ting district court to deny attorney fees when the action was adversarial
and where the defendant derived no benefit from the sale). Pfaff and
Michael never disputed the partition itself; they merely disagreed about
the form of the sale. Pfaff derived a substantial benefit from the sale: he
purchased the property at a price far below its lowest appraised value.
Because the action was adversarial only regarding the form of the sale and
Pfaff derived substantial benefits from the sale, the district court did not
abuse its discretion by ordering Michael's reasonable and necessary costs
and fees paid from the sale proceeds.
Pfaff argues that the district court erred by ordering him to pay the entire
cost of the appraisals. Pfaff demanded the appraisals. No buyers could be
found at the appraised property values. The court eventually ordered a
public auction without regard to the appraised values. Pfaff finally pur-
chased the property well below the appraised value. The appraisals appear
to have benefitted neither party and merely added expense and delay. The
district court did not abuse its discretion by ordering Pfaff to pay the costs
Of the appraisals.
Pfaff concedes that he must pay one -half of the property taxes that had
been paid by Michael. He argues that the district court erred by requiring
him to pay interest on those taxes. When property taxes are paid by •
any occupant or tenant, or any other person, a h ich, by agreement
or otherwise, ought to have been paid by the •'• other party in
interest, such occupant, tenant, or other person may recover by
action the amount •" with interest thereon at the rare of 12 per-
cent per annum' '
Minn. Star §272.45 (1994).
Pfaff and Michael jointly owned the property. Pfaff acknowledged his
obligation to reimburse Michael for the taxes. The statute provides that
Michael may recover interest on these past taxes. The district court did not
abuse its discretion by requiting Pfaff to pay interest on those past taxes.
Pfaff leased space for a billboard sign on the property but never shared
the roots with Michael. He admits he must now pay one -half of those rents
to Michael, but argues that the district court abused its discretion by order-
ing him to pay interest on Michael's share of those past rents. The district
court may order prejudgment interest when damages are readily ascertain-
able by computation and reference to market values. Summit Court, Inc.
v. Northern States Power Co., 354 N.W.2d 13,16 (Minn. 1984).
Pfaff's decision to withhold the rents from Michael prevented Michael
from enjoying the benefit of those funds. The district court's decision to
order interest merely restored Michael to the position he would have been
in had Pfaff properly shared the rent income. The district court did not
abuse its discretion by ordering Pfaff to pay interest on the past rent
income.

The May meeting of the Hutchinson Safety Council was held at noon, May 20th
at the McLeod County Heritage Center. Fourteen members were in attendance.
Bob Bowen, retired 3M employee who was in charge of training and the proper
handling of hazardous materials, presented the program. There are manv laws,
as well as company rules for compliance and safety in the handling of these
materials, with strict documentation required. Bob provided training for
truck drivers so they could be certified to transport hazardous materials.
There is a surprisingly large quantity and a great many different hazardous
materials that are transported on our highways.
He then showed a video entitled "Reactive and Explosive Materials ". These
materials are commonly found in industry, laboratories, universities, hospitals,
and farms. There are nine different classifications for these materials;
Explosive A and B, Flamable Liquid, Oxidizer, Organic Peroxide, two Flamable
Solids, Flamable Gas and Non- Flamable Gas. It showed the danger of not
handling these materials properly.
Dave Mueller, Hutchinson Police Bicycle Officer, thanked the Safety Council
for their cash donation and for those who volunteered to help at the Bike and
Blade Bonanza that was held May 4th. There were 6 participants this year
compared with 750 last year, and it was considered to be another success.
