BEING A RESOLUTION AMENDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
AND F, STABLISHING PETITION/WAIVER PROCEDURES FOR MISCELLANEOUS
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 429 et seq and Minnesota Statutes 435 make it possible for home- rule
Charter cities to establish standards and guidelines for determining the levy of special assessment
improvements, and,
WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights desires to establish a process and guideline whereby private
property owners can expeditiously petition for certain public improvements to be performed under
established municipal contracts or for abatement of public nuisances on private property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Columbia Heights that:
The following procedures establish a process for utilization by property owners of certain contract
rates negotiated by the City of Columbia Heights. Public improvements eligible with this process
include the repair and replacement of curb and gutter, driveway approaches, or sidewalks and other
miscellaneous concrete work located on the public right-of-way, or replacement of sewer and water
service from the main to the private structure being serviced, or the one-time abatement of a public
nuisance as declared by the City.
The above described improvements may be paid through the standard special assessment process
provided, however, the repayment schedule shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of
repayment as set forth for traditional public improvement projects.
Property owners desiring improvements under the procedures of the petition and waiver process shall
execute the attached "Petition and Waiver Form" and the accompanying "Private Construction
Agreement".
Upon completion and acceptance of the improvements by the Public Works Departments, the property
owner shall be notified of the final cost and have an option to pay all or a portion of the public
improvement cost. In the event the property owner declines, the final assessment will be levied by
the City Council and collected through normal special assessment collection procedures.
