PAGE 2 Residents have thirty days after the adoption of the assessment roll to pay off this special assessment without interest. (A bill is not sent. It is the responsibility of the owner of the property to attend the assessment hearing and pay in advance if they so choose.) If the assessment is not prepaid, it will be collected with the taxes that are payable to Anoka County over a period of time designated by the City Council. At any time during the assessment, a property owner can pay off their assessment before October 15 at the City Hall for the remaining years. The City Council also has a policy relating to deferral of special assessments for senior citizens. If you are a senior citizen, 65 years of age or more, with a total household income of less than $8,000, you are probably eligible for a senior citizen deferral of your special assessments. Contact the City Hall for the neccessary application forms for this deferral. Following the 30-day appeal time, the Council will determine whether or not to continue the process and schedule a public hearing to order the improvement. During this time, plans and specifications will be prepared, and an advertisement will be placed for bids so that this information will be available for the public hearing. Regarding the construction itself, the City Council has a policy that only those hard-surfaced driveways within four feet of the traveled portion of the road as it exists before the improvement will be connected with blacktop not to exceed ten feet. If your driveway is not within this four feet, no portion of your driveway will be paid for by the City. The shoulders adjacent to other driveways will be stabilized with class five gravel. The ditches will be seeded. If at any time during the course of this improvement project you have any questions or concerns, please contact the City Hall at 434-9555. January 1988
