A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Elk River Adopting the Assessment
Roll for the Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) Project
WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the Elk River City Council
has met to consider the proposed assessment roll for the Lake Orono Restoration and
Enhancement (LORE) project and has heard and passed upon all objections to the proposed
assessment,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS:
1. The proposed assessment roll for the LORE project, a copy of which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit A, is hereby adopted and shall constitute a special assessment
against the lands named therein, and each tract of land therein included is hereby found to
be benefited by the LORE project in the amount of the assessment levied against it.
2. Such assessment shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of two
years, as shown on the assessment roll, the first of the installments to be payable on or
before May 15, 2022, and shall bear interest at the rate of two percent per annum from the
date of the adoption of this assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added
interest on the entire assessment from the date of this resolution until December 31, 2022.
To each subsequent installment, when due, shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid
installments.
The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the
assessment to the county auditor, pay the whole of the assessment on such property, with
interest accrued to the date of payment, to the city clerk, except that no interest shall be
charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this resolution;
and he/she may, at any time thereafter, pay to the city clerk the entire amount of the
assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which
such payment is made. Such payment must be made before November 15 or interest will be
charged through December 31 of the next succeeding year. Property owners may also make
partial prepayment of an assessment as authorized by and subject to the provisions of
Section 62-2 of the City of Elk River Code of Ordinances.
4. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§ 435.193 to 435.195, and Section 62-1 of the City of Elk River
Code of Ordinances, the council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of this special
assessment for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older, one
retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability, or a member of the National Guard or
other reserves ordered to active military service for whom it would be a hardship to make
the payments. When deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated
for any reason provided in that law, all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become
due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and city ordinance
may, within 30 days of the adoption of the assessment, apply to the city clerk for the
prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his/her property.
5. The clerk shall forthwith transmit a certified duplicate of the assessment roll to the county
auditor to be extended on the property tax lists of the county. Such assessments shall be
collected and paid over the same manner as other municipal taxes.
Passed and adopted this Th day of September 2021.
