RESOLUTION NO. 97-214
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY' REGARDING
STREETS IN COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS WHICH ARE NOT MUNICIPAL STATE AID
ROUTES
WHEREAS, the City Council by Resolution 94-274 adopted a Special Assessment
Policy which incorporated numerous policies related to special assessments for improvement projects
into a single document; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that commercial and industrial properties benefit from
a street improvement in the same amount whether that property abuts a street which has been
designated a Municipal State Aid route or a street which carries no such designation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota that the Special Assessment Policy is hereby amended to provide that all street
improvements benefiting commercial and industrial properties shall be assessed 70 percent of the total
project cost, or a rate equivalent to 70 percent of the total project cost. This policy amendment shall
serve as a general guide in determining the benefit conferred on commercial and industrial properties
to assist the Council in making findings that a specific project has resulted in a special benefit to be
assessed pursuant to Chapter 429 of the Minnesota Statutes.
