days from the adoption of this assessment. You may at any time thereafter pay to the

$2,010,342.20. Adoption of the proposed assessment by the City Council may be
taken at the hearing. Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting.
No appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessment unless a written
objection, signed by the property owner, is filed with the City Administrator prior to
the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.
An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by serving written notice of the appeal upon the
Mayor or City Administrator within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the
assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after
service upon the Mayor or City Administrator.
Minnesota Statutes Section 435.193 through 435.195 authorize a municipality
to defer the payment of assessments against homestead property owned by persons
65 years of age and older, or who are retired because of permanent and total
disability under circumstances where it would be a hardship for such person to make
the assessment payments. When deferment of the special assessment has been
granted and is terminated for any reason provided in that law, all amounts
accumulated plus applicable interest become due. Any assessed property owner
meeting the requirements of this law may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the
assessment, apply to the City Administrator for the prescribed form for such deferral
of payment of this special assessment on said owner's property.
