SENIOR CITIZEN DEFERMENT Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.193 to 435.195, the Columbia Heights City Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of these special assessments 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 assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and Resolution No. 2001-78, adopted under it, may apply to the City Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral of payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and wish a deferment, then contact the City Clerk. AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLy ASSESS The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed on an area, lot or frontage basis, or combination of these methods against properties abutting or tributary to said improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces of property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed final assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts. PAYMENTS OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Anoka County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay a portion of or the entire amount of the special assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received within 30 days after levy and adoption of the special assessments by the City Council. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Columbia Heights at City Hall, 590 40th Avenue, Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421. If prepayment is not received within thirty (30) days after the special assessments are levied and adopted by the City Council, then: (a) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes. Co) Interest on the entire special assessments, from the date of levy to December 31st of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2003. (c) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statute, Section 429.061, Subdivision 3, provides that such payment may be made to the City of Columbia Heights, together with interest accrued to December 31st of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15th; if the pay off occurs after November 15th, then interest for the next year is also added. Partial payment of the special assessments is not allowed by the City; the payment must be for the entire amount of the special assessments. If the adopted assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail or at the assessment hearing, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this Notice of Hearing. Auxiliary aids for handicapped person are available upon request when the request is made at least 96 hours in advance.

If you qualify and wish a deferment, then contact the City Clerk. ,AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS' The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed on an area, lot or frontage basis, or combination of these methods against properties abutting or tributary to said improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces of property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amotmts set forth in this Notice are the proposed fi. al assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts. PAYMENTS OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Anoka County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay a portion of or the entire amount of the special assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received within 30 days after levy and adoption of the special assessments by the City Council. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Columbia Heights at City Hall, 590 40th Avenue, Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421. If prepayment is not received within thirty (30) days after the special assessments are levied and adopted by the City Council, then: (a) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes. (b) Interest on the entire special assessments, from the date of levy to December 31 st of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2003. (c) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statute, Section 429.061, Subdivision 3, provides that such payment may be made to the City, of Columbia Heights, together with interest accrued to December 31 st of the year in wl~ich payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15th; if the pay off occurs after November 15th, then interest for the next year is also added. Partial payment of the special assessments is not allowed by the City; the payment must be for the entire amount of the special assessments. If the adopted assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail or at the assessment hearing, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this Notice of Hearing.

Traffic Impacts: Several traffic control revisions will be made from now until substantial completion this winter. Traffic control revisions will be made to allow for the final milling and placement of the final lift of bituminous pavement on Central Avenue. Project Close-Out: Several questions have been directed to the project inspection staff related to final project close-out. While we are anticipating that most of the work will be completed this year, the Contractor will most likely be on-site next year to finish the project. The Contractor has made every effort to work through one of the wettest years on record. While most of the work will be completed this year, minor portions of the improvements will not be completed until next spring. Depending upon the weather, the following schedule will be used to complete the project: Pedestrian lighting will be installed along the corridor this fall. Tree plantings will be completed along the corridor this fall. Shrubs will be planted next spring. Benches, planter pots and receptacles will be placed this fall. Clean-up along buildings, including removing concrete splatters, repairing building facades, sealing the joints between the sidewalks and buildings and general sidewalk repairs and patching, will be completed this fall.
