Project Approach | 7A Proposal for Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) for the City of Elk River 429 Assessment and Appraisal WSB has extensive experience initiating and administering the MN Statute Chapter 429 process on municipality projects throughout Minnesota and will assist the City of Elk River during the 429 assessment and appraisal process. The following process is to complete the requirements of the MN Statute 429 assessment and appraisal for the project. WSB WILL: • Assist with the completion of a detailed project analysis during the design process to determine the actual cost. • Assist with the preparation of a report on the necessity, cost effectiveness, and feasibility. • Assist with preparation of proposed assessment role. THE CITY OF ELK RIVER WILL: • Assist in determining the proposed special assessment. • Publish a notice in the newspaper prior to the scheduled meeting and mail notice each affected property owners. • Approve and certify the final assessment roll, issue obligations to finance the improvement and certify to the county auditor the entire assessment roll. This work includes preparation of a study report and assessment role for approximately 78 parcels, as well as preparation and attendance at three meetings. It is anticipated this work effort will be completed prior to award of the project. This work plan assumes the proposed assessments will be developed as part of a collaborative effort with the City and other stakeholders, and reviewed by the City Attorney. It also assumes that those being assessed will voluntarily agree to the assessments. Any work related to responding to contested assessments, completing appraisals in relation to supporting the assessments, or attending meetings or hearings related to contested assessments will be outside this scope of work.
