ATTEST:
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURE FOR PETITIONING FOR PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to establish a procedure for
requesting public improvements which will assure that all property owners who
will be affected by special assessments if the proposed improvement is
constructed will receive reliable information regarding the proposal and will
have an opportunity to support or oppose the proposal on a personal basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. Preliminary requests for improvements may be initiated by a written
request signed by the owners of five percent (5 of the number of
properties who would be specially assessed under current City
policies if the proposed improvements were installed.
2. Upon receipt of such written request, the City Engineer shall,
unless otherwise directed by the Council, prepare an evaluation of
the proposed improvement and prepare a preliminary report
including, but not limited to, a description of the proposed
improvement, a preliminary cost estimate, and information regarding
the special assessments which would be levied under the current
City policies.
3. The City Engineer shall then send the following information, by
mail, to each property owner who would be affected by special
assessments if the proposed improvement is constructed: a copy of
the preliminary report, information describing the City's
procedures and policies regarding processing requests for public
improvements, and a petition which the property owner may sign on
which the owner either petitions the City Council to approve the
proposed improvement or requests the Council to deny the improvement.
4. These procedures and all subsequent procedures relating to public
improvements shall comply to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.
5. This resolution is effective immediately, including any request for
public improvements to be considered in 1991.
