NOTICE OF HEARING ON ASSESSMENTS

City of Albany, Minnesota

Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Albany, Stearns County, Minnesota (the “City”), will meet at the City Hall, 400 Railroad Ave, Albany, Minnesota on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. to consider objections to the proposed assessments for the construction of the Improvement referred to below, previously ordered by the City Council.

Written or oral objections by any property owner will be considered at the hearing.  No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted by the City Council unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. All objections to the assessments not received at the assessment hearing in the manner prescribed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.061 are waived, unless the failure to object to the assessment hearing is due to a reasonable cause.

Praise to Cassie Novak for being a huge asset to our ELC project on top of her duties as Community Education and Communications Director. Also, a thank you to Cassie’s team at Community Education that help fill in where Cassie can’t.

Legislature update: Superintendent Okerlund urged school board members to reach out to the legislative committees about the bills being addressed. Many bills provided highly valuable support for teachers and staff, however most had considerable cost with little information on how they would be funded long-term. There is concern that unfunded mandates may result in a negative financial impact on many school districts, including Albany Area Schools.

There were also three bills that were receiving consideration that aimed to support schools like Albany Area Schools that are funded in the bottom 15% of all districts and miss out on considerable funding in other areas. There is strong support for measures that ensure schools are funded equitably and at a minimum level.

11. Adjournment

Agenda completed at 7:25 p.m., a motion to adjourn was made by Carbajal, seconded by Sand. Supported by all present.
