Project History 

On September 28, 2020, the City Council accepted the City Engineer's Feasibility Report, declared costs to be assessed and called for an improvement public hearing on October 26, 2020. Property owners will be mailed a letter detailing the project and special assessment information together with Notice of Public Hearing and a feasibility summary.

On October 26, 2020, an improvement public hearing was held regarding ordering improvements and authorizing preparation of plans and specifications.

On November 9, 2020, the City Council declared certain project costs to be assessed for the Grandview South Area Street and Storm Drainage Improvements and called for a public hearing on the proposed special assessments to be held on December 14, 2020. All potentially affected property owners will be notified by mail of the date of the assessment public hearing and the amount of proposed special assessments.

On December 14, 2020, an assessment public hearing was held to consider certification of proposed special assessments for the street and storm drainage improvements for project. At the meeting, the City Council accepted the levy roll and certified the special assessments for the improvements to the Hennepin County Tax Rolls. Property owners are able to pay their assessments before September 30, 2021, without interest. From October 1 through November 21, 2021, property owners may pay the assessments with interest calculated from October 1, through the date of payment. Special Assessments not paid by the end of the business day on November 21, 2021, will then roll to Hennepin County property taxes and are payable over the ten (10) year period, beginning in 2022.

On Monday, January 11, 2021, the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids. Staff anticipates the bid results will be presented to the City Council for consideration at the February 22nd City Council meeting.

At its meeting on March 8, 2021, the City Council awarded the project to Ryan Contracting Company of Elko, Minnesota. A preconstruction virtual meeting was held on September 10, 2020, at which time residents had the opportunity to ask questions to City staff and the Contractor.
