Z. Resolution Regarding Adoption of Assessment Roll on City Protect 763, L/H/N
Maintenance January 1, 1981 through June 30, 1981
. City Manager Karl Nollenberger introduced the public hearing related to the
adoption of an assessment project for on-going maintenance services in the L/H/N
area from July 1, 1981 to December 31,.1982; and adoption of a specific assessment
roll-for collection of those costs incurred from January to June, 1981. He
described the services and costs included.
Ralph Bruins, 7100 Oak Grove Boulevard, spoke on behalf of the Richfield Chamber
of Commerce. He described a proposal developed by the Chamber of Commerce regarding
this matter, that was approved by 22 Chamber members at a special meeting on
October 2; that the special assessments proposed for the period of January -
June, 1981 (i.e. $45,000) be reduced by 50%; that the amount of special assessments
proposed for the period of July - December, 1981 be reduced by 10°1°; and that the
property owners assume responsibility for maintenance of their property and abutting
public property behind the curbline, such maintenance to be performed at a level
established by the City of Richfield. He stated that this proposal would likely
result in a 75% reduction in the on-going special assessments.

Mr. Nollenberger stated that about $21,590 of the costs incurred from January -
June, 1981 could be charged to the L/H/N area public improvements project, since
they were one time costs; that of the remaining costs would be the special assess-
ments, and that approximately $900 would be charged to the City's General Fund.
He~also observed that the proposed 10% reduction for the second one-half of the
year would result from charging one time costs to the public improvement project.,.
Mr: Nollenberger emphasized that; where a property owner does not maintain his
property in accordance with the standard set for the maintenance in the area, the
City will assume those maintenance responsibilities and those charges. will be
additionally assessed to that property.
Mr. Gary Strom, 6532 Lyndale, expressed his gratitude for the work that had
been done in developing the-Chaml~er-~o~ Commerce proposal. He expressed the following
reservations, however:
1. The original L/H/N plan didn't, to his recollectio n, provide
for assessing the property owners;
2. The project maintenance costs are disproportionate to the
initial cost of the improvements.

and adopt the 1981 revised and the 1982 proposed General Fund budgets, since the
tax levy must be certified to Hennepin County by Friday, October 9. Councilmembers
asked questions regarding the'~relatioriship of the proposed tax levy to the levy
limit and the potential impact of further reductions in state aids on the budget.
Larry Wozniczka, 6744 Wentworth, expressed concern regarding the proposed
1982 property"tax rates and observed that the state had likely expected some sharing
on the local level with cutbacks. He also suggested that the HRA had some monies
