Summary

The council accepted an owner proposal to pay the deferred street-improvement assessment of $18,539.52 for Parcel No. 36-0001302 within 60 days and agreed to waive accrued interest; the motion passed unanimously.

City Attorney Joe Krueger reviewed a deferred street-improvement assessment for Parcel No. 36-0001302 totaling $18,539.52, originally payable beginning October 2020 but overlooked. The proposed settlement calls for the current owner, Randy Mechel, to pay the $18,539.52 within 60 days in exchange for the city waiving accrued interest; the underground-utilities assessment of $14,198.36 remains in place and would be billed if the property is built upon.

Council Member Lilah Gripne moved to accept the proposal; the motion was seconded by Council Member JoAnn Schroeder and approved unanimously. City Attorney Joe Krueger characterized the compromise as a practical resolution to a long-standing oversight that allows the city to recover a substantial portion of the assessment earlier than previously scheduled.
