Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator
FROM: Robin Roland, Finance Director
DATE: November 22, 2010
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution authorizing special treatment of 2010 Pavement
Management Special Assessment for PID 33-027-21-31-0004
I=. q
Staff has received a request from a resident who participates in the State of Minnesota Senior
Citizen Tax Deferral program for special treatment of the 2010 Pavement Management special
assessment certified against her property.
Discussion
Ms Hilda Dunbar, 8285 River Acres Road, is a participant in the Senior Citizen Property Tax
Deferral program offered through the State of Minnesota. Through this program, the property
owner pays a "frozen" amount towards their property taxes each year and the County bills the
state for the difference between what the property owner pays and what is owed. That difference
is covered by a low interest loan which then accrues as a lien against the property until the death
of the property owner or the sale of the enrolled property, when it is paid off.
Rather than deferring the 2010 Pavement Management special assessment separately under the
City Ordinance, Ms Dunbar requested that the entire amount of the special assessment against
her property ($3,413.50) be certified for only one year (2011) instead of the 15 years adopted in
Resolution 2010-163 on October 20, 2010. If this is done, the special assessment (with one year
at 7% interest) will be paid in its entirety in 2011 through the State Senior Citizen Property Tax
Deferral program.
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing a one year term for the $3,413.50 2010 Pavement
Management special assessment for PID 33-027-21-31-0004.
WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the Council
adopted Resolution 2010 -163 on October 20, 2010 regarding the assessment of the
2010 Pavement Management River Acres (District H) Road Project; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2010 -163 called for such assessment to be payable in
equal annual installments extending over a period of 15 years, at an interest rate of 7 %,
the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January, 2011,
and shall bear interest on the entire assessment from the date of this resolution until
December 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the property at 8285 River Acres Road (PID 33- 027 -21 -31 -0004)
was identified in the aforementioned assessment roll with an assessment of $3,413.50;
and
WHEREAS, said property is enrolled in the State of Minnesota Senior Citizen
Tax Deferral program and as such, collection of the special assessment amount is best
done within a significantly shorter time period than 15 years.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of Cottage Grove,
County of Washington, State of Minnesota, that the special assessment of $3,413.50 for
the 2010 Pavement Management for PID 33- 027 -21 -31 -004 be certified to Washington
County in one installment , at 7% interest, to be collected with the payable 2011
property taxes.
Passed this 1 st day of December 2010.
