Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that the Hopkins City Council adopt
Resolution 2019-039 Approving Special Assessment for Waterline Repairs on Private Property.
Overview
As part of a leak detection survey a homeowner was required to have their waterline replaced.
The homeowner is required to make the repair based on Hopkins City Code. Following receipt
of estimated repair costs the homeowner signed an agreement on January 2, 2019 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 $6,000. 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.
