CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO ASSESS CITY CODE VIOLATIONS
OCTOBER 19, 2015 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to call a public hearing November 16,
2015 for City Code violations in 2015.
Passage of this motion will result in a public hearing on the proposed assessments.
Overview
Notices were sent out to property owners who were in violation of various City Codes. Staff
performed inspections of numerous violations, including circumstances that created hazardous
environments and blight. Staff authorized the contractual mowing of grass, removal of weeds, and
property maintenance on properties where the property owners had failed to correct the violation.
Staff requests that the City Council call a public hearing to be conducted on November 16, 2015 to
assess the cost of code enforcement on the properties listed on the attached assessment summary.
The procedure of assessing code enforcement actions is in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 429.061. The affected parcels will each be assessed the actual contractual cost incurred, in
addition to $90.00 for the administrative fee, $55.00 prorated to each property owner for
publication of the legal notice, 18% interest from the date of the public hearing, $4.15 for the
Dakota County Special Assessment fee, plus the re-inspection fees consistent with the fee schedule
and City policy.
