Sarah Andrews Herman, Attorney at Law, 1800 Radisson Tower, Fargo, North Dakota spoke in behalf of Burlington Northern Railway.

Ms. Herman pointed out that the storm sewer drained to the south prior to the project and was changed to drain to the west. She also stated that there were no drainage problems on the BN properties and much of the BN property is not developed and feel they do not require the improvements that were made in this project.

Mr. Vein, City Engineer, explained that the total cost of the project was $686,552.00. Of this cost $56,000.00 is assessed to BN or 6.1% and 20% by the City and Department of Transportation the remainder and other properties adjacent to DeMers Avenue.

Council Member Kulas questioned whether BN had been assessed for the original storm sewer to the south. Mr. Vein stated that the information on that was not available for this meeting but that it would be researched.

Council Member Hagness pointed out that BN does use DeMers Ave. for access to their property and there certainly is a possibility that BN could develop this property in the future.

Council Member Beach questioned Ms. Herman if BN vehicles used DeMers to get to BN Offices on BN property to the north of DeMers. She stated that they did.

Council Member Glassheim questioned whether BN had been notified of the project. Mr. Swanson, City Attorney, stated that they are required to be notified and were.

Mr. Tingum, City Auditor stated that the entire project was based on square footage which was determined by the Special Assessment Commission.

It was moved by Council Member Shores and seconded by Council Member Carpenter that these assessments be and are hereby accepted and confirmed, and that they be levied against the property benefitted in 20 annual installments of principal, together with interest on the unpaid balance yearly, to be collect-ed with other taxes by the proper authorities.

Mayor Polovitz asked if there was anyone in the audience who had comments to make on these assessments. There were none.

Richard Bernhardt, 1292 S 36th St, Grand Forks, questioned why the storm sewer assessment is being assessed totally to Johnson's 1st Addition to the south side of the road when the paving of 11th Ave. S. was divided between the north and south side. Mr. Bernhardt felt that water shed is from a small portion of Johnson's 1st Addition and from 11th Ave. S.

Ken Vein, City Engineer, stated that the north side is outside the city limits and at this time the ordinance does not allow property out of the city limits to be assessed. Mr. Vein further explained that the State Legislator just passed a law allowing the city to charge tap in charges on paving, watermain and sanitary sewer but not storm sewer. The city has no other mechanism by which to pick up these costs. Mr. Bernhardt asked if the south side of 11th Ave. S. would receive credit for this project cost when the north side is developed. Mr. Tingum, City Auditor, explained that state law does not allow the city to reassess property.

Council Member Hagness and Council Member Geller both felt that something should be done at committee level to try to research each project and come up with some alternative. Mr. Swanson, City Attorney, explained that State law does not allow for tap in charges on storm sewer.

Mr. Vein, City Engineer, explained that when the north side of 11th Ave S is eventually in the city limits there will be a need to extend this storm sewer and at this time the north side will be assessed. Mr. Vein asked Mr. Bern-hardt if he owned this property at the time the project district was estab-lished. Mr. Bernhardt wasn't sure. Mr. Vein stated that if he had owned it at that time, there is a protest period that is published and you have that
13320
October 18, 1993

time to express your concerns or try to make changes. Mr. Bernhardt stated that he was told by the realtor that everything was taken care of and so he did no further research. Council Member Hagness stated that Mr. Bernhardt perhaps did error in not checking further and explained to Mr. Bernhardt that this matter is going before the Public Service Committee on Monday, October 25, 1993.

It was moved by Council Member Shores and seconded by Council Member Carpenter that these assessments be and are hereby accepted and confirmed, and that they be levied against the property benefitted in 19 annual installments of principal, together with interest on the unpaid balance yearly, to be collect-ed with other taxes by the proper authorities.
