Resolution No. 2006-170, being a Resolution Adopting the Assessment Rolls for the Huset
Parkway Street Improvements
Presentation by City Staff providing background information on the above mentioned
improvement projects.
Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, stated this assessment only affects one property.
The assessment to the developer is $1,677,460. The amount would be spread out over the
three phases of the development. About one-half of that will be prepaid. In the Frattallone
Construction project the total was $3,343,097. Hansen listed the breakdown of costs
between State Aid, sanitary sewer construction fund, water construction fund, storm water
utility construction fund and an LCA grant. Hansen stated this meeting would be to
approve the resolution and to set the interest amount. He recommended that the interest
rate be at 1.5 or 2 percent over the bonded rate.
Nawrocki questioned the reason to have the interest rate more than the bond amount.
Hansen stated that is the recommendation of the Bond Consultant. Nawrocki requested a
breakdown on construction costs. Hansen listed the Frattallone cost of$2,8l2,525. The
rest is overhead and engineering costs. Hansen stated this is the only time we add in
engineering costs. He listed the different engineers on the project. Nawrocki stated that
there should have been a breakdown on the costs.

Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Diehm, to close the Public Hearing and waive the

Hansen stated our bonding rate would be 4.5 to 6 percent and the amount should be one to

through to the other hearings. Hansen stated that has been the past practice.
