Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that the Hopkins City Council adopt
Resolution 2019-083 Approving Special Assessment for Water and Sewer Repairs on Private
Property.
Overview
As part of the 2018 street reconstruction project 29 homeowners were required to repair private
water or sewer service. The homeowners were required to make the repair based on Hopkins
City Code. 6 homeowners completed the repairs privately. 23 homeowners chose to let the City
complete the repair during street reconstruction and have the amount assessed to them. They
have all signed an agreement with the City waiving their right to object to the assessment.
Amounts range from $1,752.10 to $5,544.40. The total amount to be assessed is $70,246.56. 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.
