APPROVE ASSESSMENT OF PRIVATE
WATERLINE REPAIRS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that the Hopkins City Council adopt
Resolution 2016-03 Approving Special Assessment for Waterline Repairs on Private Property.
Overview
As part of the 2016 street improvement project a homeowner in the project area had their private
waterline break due to age. The homeowner was ordered by the city to repair said waterline.
The homeowner stated they did not have sufficient funds to complete the repairs and petitioned
the City to do the repairs. Following receipt of estimated repair costs the homeowner signed an
agreement on March 7, 2016 petitioning the City to do the repairs and waiving their right to
object to the assessment. The repairs were completed at a total cost of $5,932.26. As part of the
agreement a 10 year assessment at 4% was proposed and agreed to.
Hennepin County requires the City to take specific action placing the assessment on the taxes.
This resolution accomplishes that requirement.
