Also easements are not being executed <br /> which really inflates the cost to construct sewer <br /> in this area. If the residents in this area would <br /> agree to provide easements to the City at no added <br /> cost and agree to stipulated settlement of appeals, <br /> we can eliminate some engineering, legal, and <br /> administration cost and lower each assessment for � <br /> this area to $7 ,g00 or $7 , 500 . <br /> There are options : <br /> 1. Do not construct sewers in the area and assess <br /> part of lift station and other technical costs <br /> 2 . Or�er in the project and reduce the assessment <br /> noW if we eliminate easement and appeal cost <br /> 3 . Approve project, leave the assessment roll as it <br /> is and abate some monies by November 15 , 1980 <br /> if easement and appeal costs are reduced <br /> Dave Johnson, 500 Hanlon Avenu�, asked if he could <br /> review the summary of the construction costs . <br /> Mr . Cook and Mr. Malkerson reviewed the cost <br /> summary with the resident. <br /> Summary of Costs - Pages 31-35 <br /> Mr . Herr , attorney representing appellants: What <br /> are my clients going to receive in reduced assessments? <br /> We object to giving up our appeal rights. What is <br /> the bottom figure? <br /> Mayor Van Nest: The City will make that decision <br /> tonight. Friday, October 10 , 1980 is the last day <br /> the County will accept the assessment roll for this , <br /> project. If we are to construct this year, we must <br /> certify the costs now. The City has already <br /> � assumed some legal, engineering and administration <br /> costs. I fe�l we should assess each unit in the <br /> Minnetonka Bluffs area their portion of the costs <br /> also their portion of the lift station the City <br /> has to construct to accommodate future flows. <br /> Councilmember Hurr : Mr. Herr, would you like to <br /> meet with us again, possibly Saturday morning to <br /> work this out? <br /> Mr . Herr : My clients do not want that. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: If this project fails, the City <br /> will have to assess to each Minnetonka Bluffs unit <br /> a trunk charge. ' � <br />
