MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 25, 2011 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 24 of 25 <br /> <br />(11. APPEAL OF ASSESSMENT FOR UNPAID BLLS - CREEKSIDE IN ORONO, Continued) <br /> <br />Gonya stated it was probably a lack of understanding of the process from his end. Gonya indicated Dean <br />did come to him after he purchased the lot and informed him that there were some costs above and <br />beyond what was originally anticipated and that he agreed to pay those. Gonya stated he was not aware <br />of the old charges at that time and that the first time he saw the charges listed on the sheet was October, <br />which may have been the proper time to look at it but that he did not do that then and is now before the <br />Council. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the old costs were billed within 30 days to the previous developer. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated Staff would have to go back and look at the billings to verify billing dates. <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Franchot seconded, to direct Staff to split the unpaid assessment of $5,342 in half <br />between the City and the Creekside property owners. <br /> <br />Franchot asked how much money is in the City’s contingency fund at the moment. <br /> <br />Bremer commented it is more than $2,300. <br /> <br />Mattick noted the tax statements already show the full assessment and that someone from the City will <br />need to call the county and provide the new number. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated it would probably be easier for the City to refund the property owners. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Bremer Opposed. <br /> <br />*12. DISPOSAL OF POLICE DEPARTMENT SQUAD CAR <br /> <br />Bremer moved, Rahn seconded, to sell a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria VIN#2FAWP71W27X133986, <br />with a minimum bid of $4000.00 through a sealed bid process. If minimum bid is not reached, <br />vehicles will be auctioned through Minneapolis Auto Auction or similar facility. VOTE: Ayes 5, <br />Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br /> <br />*13.
