REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS AND C914MISSIONS
Mandyerr Willis stated he believed the problem Is how to Insure
the public is notified of development proposals affecting them.
The Plymouth Post is the official newspaper and recelves alt
riotices. The W.iyzatd Weekly Is also used for projects dffectlnq
the southwest portion of the community. He doesn't believe that
many people read legal notices In any event and the City has to
rely on the news coverage of the meetings, cdble, and certain
types of r otlflc3tio11 malted to resldents In the area of the
project to gain interest.
Councilme;mber Crdln suggested that perhaps the Council could get

the Council consensus was that the advaiue notice of development
aetivlty was more important at the Planning Commission public
hearing level than at the, Council level.
Mayor Schneider suggested ralslsig this issue with the Plymouth,
Development Council at its Wednesday meeting, partloularly with
regard to the posslbllity of developers providing tho signage.
Councllmember Vaslliou stated she intends to check with other
homeowners assoclatlon representatives on the types of nottflca-
tion they believe will be most effective. The staff will
research Minnetonka's experience with signage and will discuss
the imatter with the Oevelopment Council. This issue will be
discussed at the February 10 meeting.

The Council reviewed the status of the public Improvements.
is Councllmember Crain asked the impact of the proposed tax reforms
on the City's ability to bond for projects this year.
Manager Willis answered that local government's ability to bond
could be seriously constrained but all the effects will not be
known for a number of months.
Director Moore stated the Council has a policy for three types
of deferred assesswnt: 1) senior citizen and disabled tndtvtd-
uals, 2) Green Acres, and 3) homesteaded residential property.
Discussion followed on how the City determined the time to take
property off the deferred assessment roll.
Manager Willis explained why the City charged interest on the
amount of the deferred assessment.
Councllmember Vaslllou asked the sequence of project approval
and assessment. Manager Willis explained the process.
Discussion continued on *hen projects are ordered, where money
comes from if a peoperty's a3sessment is lowered, relevying of
assessments, easement acquisition, and the condemnation process.
Douglas Schroeder, 5230 Vicksburg Lane, stated his frustration
Is- that t eouncil's declslon making Is not documented and is
Inconsistent regarding deferred special assessments. He object-
ed to the Interest being charged on his deferred asstysment over
the past five yaars which amounts to approximately $2,S00 and
the fact that he ca11n0t find documentation showing that neigh-
bors were told Interest would be charged. If land owners are
given the benefit of a deferral, charging Interest doesn't make
sense to him. He pointed out what he thought was a lack of com-
munication between the City and residents and suggested the
Interest charged o%er the past five years be removed and the
City not charge further Interest until the deferrals are actual-
ly assessed which shouldn't take place until the property is
subdivided or developed.
Manager Willis stated that Mr. Sk%hroeder bought the property
after the hearing and suggested the Council not make
to the assessment roll without further discussion and
with the City Attorney. He doesn't believe any action
taken on this particular deferral tonight,
amendments

should be
Dwaine Johnson, 5110 Vicksburg Lane, stated that none of the
neighbors knew about the interest being charged. Had he known,
he would not have elected to defer the assessment.
