RESOLUTION ABOLISHING THE LYNDALE/HUB/NICOLLET
(LHN) MAINTENANCE DISTRICT AND RESCINDING
APPROVAL FOR WORK PREVIOUSLY ORDERED FOR THE
PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2020 TO DECEMBER 31, 2020
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Richfield established the
Lyndale/HUB/Nicollet Development Project Area (the "LHN District") by adoption of
Resolution No. 6356 on December 22, 1980; and
WHEREAS, the LHN District was established for the purposes of assessing
benefited properties for current services provided by the City, pursuant to authority in
Section 825 of the City Code, such as: snow, ice and rubbish removal; weed
elimination; tree trimming; landscaping; and other similar services; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting on October 8, 2019, the Council adopted Resolution
No. 11661 ordering the undertaking of current services in the LHN District for the 2020
calendar year;
WHEREAS, subsequent to the October 8, 2019 meeting, the City Council
determined that current services provided by the City have diminished over the years
due to redevelopment and individual maintenance agreements with affected properties
within the LHN District and the removal of special features unique to properties in the
LHN District; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has therefore concluded that the LHN District no
longer serves the same beneficial purpose as when it was first established in 1980.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota, as follows:
1. Resolution No. 6356 adopted by the City Council on December 22, 1980 is
rescinded and the LHN District is abolished.
2. Resolution No. 11661 is rescinded and current services ordered for 2020 are
hereby cancelled.
3. City staff are authorized and directed to carry out all necessary steps,
including communication with affected property owners, related to the
abolition of the LHN District and cancellation of current services for 2020.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, this 26th day of
November, 2019.
