RESOLUTION CANCELLING COLLECTION OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
ON FOUR PARCELS OF LEVY NO. 18437
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to Adopt Resolution 2014-023 cancelling
collection of special assessments for PID NO. 19-117-21-31-0047, 19-117-21-31-0048, 19-117-21-31-0055
& 19-117-21-31-0061, for LEVY NO. 18437.
Adoption of this motion will cancel the special assessments on the four properties identified.
Overview
The City of Hopkins followed all procedures with regards to Special Assessment Levy Roll No 18437,
however the notices regarding the four parcels identified as belonging to Hennepin County did not get routed
to the proper department despite being sent to the address on file with Hennepin County tax records.
These parcels located along Excelsior Boulevard were supposed to have been turned over to the City of
Hopkins for management once the Excelsior Boulevard project was completed. The County recently
obtained clear title to the last parcel and will begin the process for turning these parcels over to Hopkins. For
that reason these parcels should not have been included on the special assessment rolls but because this
process began before 2004 and just now was completed and new people have come into positions both at the
County and City some of the details of this transaction were lost. This situation came to light when tax
statements were prepared for these parcels and submitted to the Engineering Dept. at Hennepin County.
The amount of assessments cancelled totals $26,145.70 and will be absorbed by the PIR Fund.
Primary Issues to Consider
• None has been identified.
