Public Hearing to Reassess Canceled Special Assessments for Removal of a Hazardous Building Finance Director Julie Stahl presented information regarding the proposed reassessment of previously canceled special assessments for demolition costs associated with the property located at 6649 167th Street West. The original assessments were levied in 2017 under Minnesota Statutes §§463.21, 463.22, and 429.061 following the City's enforcement action to remove hazardous structures. The property was later forfeited to the State, and the outstanding assessments were canceled as required by law. Dakota County has since notified the City that the property was sold and that the canceled assessments are eligible for reassessment under Minn. Stat. §429.071, Subd. 4. A public hearing was required to consider reassessing the remaining unpaid demolition- related costs. Mayor Hellier opened the public hearing at 6:44 p.m. Von and Pat Chan, property owners, spoke in objection to the reassessment. They stated that no assessment appeared on the tax statement at the time of purchase, and no indication of any outstanding obligation was disclosed during the sale. They requested City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Page 3 that the city not apply the assessment retroactively. Council Member Lee asked whether notice of any lien existed at the time of sale. Staff noted that the property fell into the category of estimated market value, and the County had indicated there could have been information regarding forfeiture tied to the parcel. It was also noted that buyers are responsible for due diligence in determining whether any liens or obligations may apply. Motion by Volk, seconded by Wolter, to close the public hearing at 6:49 p.m. Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - Hellier, Bermel, Lee, Volk, Wolter Following discussion, a motion was made by Wolter, seconded by Bermel, to approve the Resolution to Reassess Canceled Special Assessments for Removal of a Hazardous Building. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Bermel, Wolter Nays: Lee, Volk, Hellier The motion failed. Council Member Volk then moved to approve the Resolution to Reassess Canceled Special Assessments for Removal of a Hazardous Building for the reduced amount of $37,369.95; however, the motion failed for lack of a second. No further action was taken, and the reassessment was denied. 8. Unfinished Business None 9. New Business None 10. Announcements a. Next Work Session Meeting November 24, 2025 b.
