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 d stdtus report on development projects In the City drid review the list 4o !eclde which dreds should receive broader notice.

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.

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 consulting 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. 0 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT P:'103ECT STATUS REPORT Item 7-D DEFERRED ASSESSMENT POLICY Item 7-E Social.
