<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Mi nutes <br />November 13, 1984 <br /> <br />Emmett Cass, 1868 - 26th Avenue N.W., exrressed concern <br />with the method of assessment for the Special Taxing <br />District, asked council to reconsider the ordinance. <br /> <br />Harcus asked if the tax is itemi zed on the tax s tate- <br />ments; Egan responded affirmatively. <br /> <br />Benke stated that this action is to restore the water, <br />not to improve it. <br /> <br />LeFevere stated that by setting up a special taxing <br />district, it becomes an improvement project (per Chapter <br />429 of the Minnesota Statutes). If ad valorem tax, the <br />IRS may call it a special tax, but it may be difficult <br />for them to do. Ad volorem tax to be levied on the <br />basis of the property through the district; it is a <br />capital improvement. <br /> <br />Schmidt reviewed prior actions and discussions of council. <br /> <br />Cass stated he is interested in information from Clean- <br />Flo; asked if city had made arrangements to do an inde- <br />pendent water study. <br /> <br />LeFevere feels we can hold Clean-Flo to performance goals. <br /> <br />Cass indicated that in the rush for expediency, a few <br />things may have been overlooked (ie. other available <br />vendors). The Department of Natural Resources recently <br />advised Mr. Cass that there were other methods, and <br />that there are 17 other companies that do this type of <br />work; questioned placement of units. <br /> <br />Proper stated he would check with Clean-Flo regarding <br />the placement of the units (to allow for winter activity <br />on the lake), but felt a new placement may affect the <br />performance goals. <br /> <br />Motion by Janecek, seconded by Benke, to waive the read- <br />ing and ADOPT A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR FINANCING FOR <br />THE LAKE DIANE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. <br /> <br />4 Ayes ~ 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Egan had nothing further to add to the staff report re- <br />garding the computer consultant's evaluation and stated <br />that Mr. Ray Giske was present to answer any questions. <br /> <br />Harcus stated that he has heard from other cities that <br />ComputoService does a good jab and moved, seconded <br />by Schmidt, to waive the reading and ADOPT THE RESOLUTION <br />ACCEPTING THE COMPUTER CONSULTANT'S EVALUATION AND AUTHO- <br />RIZING THE AWARD OF CONTACTS TO ACQUIRE THE SYSTEM. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Page Three <br /> <br />Lake Diane Improve- <br />ment Project <br />Report 84-293 <br />Resolution 84-164 <br /> <br />Computer System - <br />Evaluation and <br />Contracts <br />Report 84-297 <br />Resolution 84-165 <br />
