Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2020-016, Resolution
Adopting Assessment Roll for Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Parcels, 2020-2021 Street
and Utility Improvements, City Project 2019-10.
This action continues an assessable project for street improvements.
Overview
Assessment calculations were prepared based on the overall lowest bid received for the 2020-
2021 Street and Utility Improvements. At its February 18, 2020 meeting the Hopkins City
Council ordered preparation of the assessment roll for the project. At that same meeting, the
Council ordered an assessment hearing for the project to be held March 16, 2020. The
assessment roll for all parcels, excluding Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (MPRB) was
adopted, as assessing the MPRB falls under a different state statute with slightly different
requirements than other parcels in the project area.
This assessment hearing sets in motion levying of assessments against benefiting properties. A
notice has been mailed via certified mail, along with an assessment statement, to the MPRB. As
of this writing, no written objections contesting the proposed assessments have been submitted.
Written objections to Council must be submitted no later than the hearing date. Staff is
recommending adoption of the assessment roll following the public hearing.

Analysis of Issues
Appeal Procedure
Property owners are given the opportunity to approach Council with their objections to
the proposed assessments during the public hearing. Standard forms for written
objections have been available at City Hall and need to be submitted no later than the
hearing date.
Appeals Received
No appeals have been received at the time of writing this report.
Public Information
Assessments for the project were discussed at an informational meetings on June 25,
2019, August 5, 2019, and September 11, 2019 prior to bidding. These meetings
presented the same information, which was focused on providing detailed information
related to assessments including calculation methodology, interest calculation, payment
options, and deferring assessments. Example calculations were presented for assessments
and payments involving several different situations.
An additional public informational meeting was held on March 12, 2020 after bids were
received. This meeting focused on assessments and also covered the upcoming
construction schedule and issues that commonly come up during construction.
In addition, staff has been in direct contact with MPRB concerning the assessments.
Project Costs and Assessments
Benefit appraisals were also commissioned for commercial and institutional properties, as
allowed under the policy, and considered against the policy calculation. The lower total
based on this comparison was used as the assessment in the final roll.
The interest rate will be 2 percentage points above the Total Interest Cost (TIC) of the
bonds to be sold for the project. The TIC for bonds for the 2020-2021 Street
Reconstruction Project will be determined in May 2020. Staff recommends adopting a
15-year term for the assessment as discussed at previous City Council meetings.
Property owners can prepay without interest through July 31, 2020. To avoid the
assessment being certified on property taxes, owner must make payment prior to
November 30, 2020.
The full assessment roll including all notification letters is available upon request.
