SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1994
The meeting was called to order at 5:30 P.M. by Mayor Torgerson.
Present were: Mayor Marlin Torgerson, Council Members Bill Craig,
John Mlinar, and Kay Peterson. Absent: Council Member Don
Erickson. Also present: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz, City
Engineer John Rodeberg, Finance Director Kenneth B. Merrill, and
City Attorney G. Barry Anderson.
ASSESSMENT ROLL NO. 294, LETTING NO. 3, PROJECT NO. 94-03
(LAKEWOOD DRIVE)
Engineer Rodeberg addressed the proposed policy for deferral of the
water and sewer system assessment until the property begins use of
the system. He suggested a 10 year deferral period.
Attorney Anderson stated that when the assessment is deferred for
10 years, it is unlikely the property owner will be able to use
the existing septic system indefinitely. Under the provisions of
the M.S.S. 429.061, "Local Improvements; Assessment Procedure," the
federal government regulations may force hook up when it is
available. The City Attorney noted the City Council should decide
on approving the revised assessment roll and adopt a formal policy
on deferral of assessments. Attorney Anderson will draft the
City's policy on improvement assessments.
Following discussion, Council Member Craig moved that the City
Attorney draft a proposal that future sanitary sewer and hook ups
on lots which are sellable and buildable be deferred until ready to
use, that those properties sharing a lot that can not be developed
or sold be treated as one lot for purposes of water and sewer, and
that the street and storm sewer assessments remain as calculated,
and adopt assessment roll No. 294. Motion seconded by Council
Member Mlinar and unanimously carried.
The motion to waive reading and adopt Resolutions No. 10278 and No.
10279 and to award contact to Juul Contracting Co. in the amount of
$353,900.40 was made by Council Member Mlinar, seconded by Council
Member Peterson and unanimously carried.
ASSESSMENT ROLL NO. 296, LETTING NO. 8, PROJECT NO. 94-09
(ARCH STREET)
Following discussion of deferred assessments, the motion to approve
and to adopt assessment roll No. 296, to waive reading and adopt
Resolutions No. 10280 and No. 10281, and to award contract to Juul
Contracting Co. in the amount of $128,734.50 was made by Council
Member Mlinar, seconded by Council Member Peterson and unanimously
carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:50 P.M.
