Elk River, MN - Official Website <br />Justin, Elk River City Engineer <br />1 37 points <br />State law does not allow a City to <br />charge a direct street fee for <br />maintenance of our system. State law <br />does allow for the collection of a <br />franchise fee from utility service <br />providers for their use of the right -of- <br />way. That is why we are proposing to <br />charge this fee to the utility companies <br />and then dedicate its use to maintain <br />the city street system. <br />Mar 15, 2013 3:06 PM <br />To Flaa as Inappropriate <br />F1General Public Comment <br />18 points <br />I live on a County Road, why would I be charged <br />a fee? <br />Mar 15, 2013 2:57 PM <br />Flaa as Inappropriate Reply <br />Justin, Elk River City Engineer <br />37 points <br />As a city resident that lives on a <br />county road, you receive the benefit of <br />the county not assessing for <br />maintenance and reconstruction of <br />their roadways. You do contribute to <br />the costs of the city street <br />improvement projects through a <br />component of the property taxes you <br />pay. The proposed franchise fee, <br />would replace that property tax <br />component. <br />Mar 15, 2013 3:15 PM <br />rFlag as Inappropriate <br />F1 Jim <br />5 points <br />This is one of the most ridiculous taxing counties <br />Page 9 of 13 <br />http:// mn- elkriver. civicplus .comICommunityVoicelldeal City- Street - Pavement - Managem... 04/11/2013 <br />
