Council sets hearing, orders proposed assessment work on 2022 Fourth Street and Broadway improvements
Summary
The Goodhue City Council approved two standard resolutions to (1) set a hearing on the final assessment and (2) declare costs and order preparation of a proposed assessment for the 2022 Fourth Street and Broadway Street improvements. Staff said repayment terms can be adjusted though the city historically uses shorter terms.
The Goodhue City Council on Oct. 23 approved two companion resolutions to advance final assessments for the 2022 Fourth Street and Broadway Street improvements.
Council members voted to set a public hearing on the final assessment for the street project and then approved a resolution declaring the project costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of the proposed assessment documents. A staff presenter described the resolutions as standard assessment procedures provided by the city's assessment program and said the council has the authority to set repayment terms "up to a 30-year repayment," though historically the city has used shorter terms.
Council procedure followed the usual motion-and-second format; members approved both resolutions with the motion carried at each vote. The motions were initiated and seconded by council members during the meeting.
The approved steps begin the formal notice and hearing process required before final assessment amounts are confirmed and billed to property owners. The council did not specify a final hearing date or an exact repayment schedule during the Oct. 23 meeting; staff indicated those details will follow as part of the assessment process and public notice.
What happens next: staff will prepare the proposed assessment documents and publish notice for the required public hearing so affected property owners can review and comment before the council takes a final vote.
