Supervisor Bennett had been in \n discussion with Mr. Person and has asked him to explain to the Board this method of \n financing the cost for residents improving their road and the Township taking it over to \n maintain. Mr. Person had talked with Cass County and the County prefers that the \n Township use this method for residents improving their road and the Assessment \n Agreement would not require a public hearing. Residents would just come in and sign \n the Assessment agreement. The Township would pay for the improvement and the \n residents along that road would be assessed their portion of the cost, added to their \n property taxes for the improvement, paying for it over a period of time with the Township \n eventually getting repaid. \n If 2 or 3 residents’ holdout and don’t sign the agreements, then the project can be \n dropped. Another way would be if the neighbors’ chip in and pay for the neighbor’s \n portion or the Township covers that cost and then someone gets the improvement free. \n Another way would be to follow MN Statute 429. This would involve more \n paperwork holding a meeting, having a feasibility study done and a cost estimate \n completed and then those who don’t sign still get assessed their portion to have the road \n improved. The length of assessment can vary with each resident if some want to pay it \n all up front and not get assessed any interest or if the resident wants a longer period of \n time to pay off their portion. \n Supervisor Bennett moved to go ahead with the assessment procedure (as \n presented by Brad Person,) for the Township taking over Zebroski Acres Lane SW \n as a Township road following the sample assessment that was presented tonight, \n seconded by Supervisor Adelman-Dullinger. The Assessment would then need to be \n certified with the County Auditor. The question was called, and the motion carried.","bbox":{"left":0.147227,"top":0.343295,"width":0.705851,"height":0.368405}},{"text":"Bryan Drown brought up the fact that the numbers (costs) that were previously quoted to \n the residents (by Bryan Drown) was an estimate and could change if work is not \n completed till next year.","bbox":{"left":0.147227,"top":0.72339,"width":0.702991,"height":0.046885000000000066}},{"text":"Supervisors Road Report-","bbox":{"left":0.147227,"top":0.781886,"width":0.22309299999999999,"height":0.017564000000000024}},{"text":"Trees down on: Upper Sylvan; Drive SW, 125th Street SW, Oak Ridge Drive SW and \n 13th Avenue SW. \n Camp Jim Road SW – the required easement deeds have been signed.","bbox":{"left":0.147227,"top":0.811181,"width":0.684292,"height":0.046844}},{"text":"09-05-2019 Regular Board of Supervisors Meeting","bbox":{"left":0.147227,"top":0.872203,"width":0.38705,"height":0.014954000000000023}},{"text":"Page 2","bbox":{"left":0.803294,"top":0.872203,"width":0.05071100000000006,"height":0.014954000000000023}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
