Subject: Re: Payment for 2024 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitations
I’ll pay $1500 up front and finance the rest, if staff are willing to recommend and council is willing to
accept. I can make payment whenever you’re ready. Thanks.

Tony,
I was able to confirm this morning that we can get you set up with a financing agreement. This will
take me a couple of weeks to prepare and will be brought through the consent agenda for City
Council. We can spread the cost of the improvements over 5 years at an interest rate of 4.36%.
Are you able to let me know if you would like us to just put the entire $5,000 into that financing
agreement or if you would like to pay a portion of it up front to reduce the amount financed?
This financing would ultimately be placed on your property taxes and the payments would
distributed either via and increase to your monthly mortgage escrow (if you do this), otherwise, I
believe you would pay on this twice annually with your property taxes if you currently use that
method.
Let me know on that down payment and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you,
Cody Mathisen, P.E.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THEIR MUTUAL COVENANTS
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PRIVATE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE REPAIRS. Subject to a separate
agreement between the Owner and the City of Hastings dated October 9, 2024, the City of
Hasting’s Contractor completed private sanitary sewer service repairs (“Improvements”) that serve
the Subject Property.
2. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The City agrees to advance the funds necessary for
the sewer service repairs in return for Owner’s agreement to have the costs assessed against the
Subject Property as provided for in this Agreement. The Owner agrees to pay fifty percent (50%)
of the cost of the Repairs which amounts to $5,000.00. The Owner agrees to pay $1,500.00 to the
City of Hastings within 30 days of the execution of this agreement. The City shall assess the
Subject Property the following principal amount for the Repairs which reflects the remaining
balance due: $3,500.00 (“Assessment Amount”). Failure by the Owner to pay $1,500.00 within 30
days of the agreement execution will result in the entirety of the unpaid $5,000 balance to be
certified as the Assessment Amount. The Assessment Amount shall be deemed adopted on the
date this Agreement is signed by the City. The Assessment Amount shall be paid over a 5-year
period without deferment, together at a rate of 4.36% interest on the unpaid balance. Interest shall
begin accruing thirty (30) days after the City Council’s approval of this Agreement. The Owner
further agrees that the Assessment Amount may be exceeded if the increases are a result of requests
made by the Owner or otherwise approved by the Owner in a subsequent written document. The
first installment shall be due and payable with first half of property taxes in 2025. The Owner
further agrees that the City can assess an additional $50.00 which represents $5.00 per year for the
term of the assessment to offset the fees imposed by Dakota County for this assessment, plus the
City’s administrative fee.
3. WAIVER OF APPEAL. The Owner hereby authorizes the City to certify to the
Dakota County Auditor/Property Tax Assessor a special assessment against the Subject Property up
to the Assessment Amount. The Owner hereby waives all rights to assessment notices, hearings,
appeals, and procedural and substantive objections and all other rights pursuant to Minn. Stat.
§429.061, §429.071 and §429.081 for the special assessment against the Subject Property up to the
Assessment Amount, including, but not limited to, any claim that the Assessment Amount against the
Subject Property exceeds the benefit to the Subject Property for the Improvement. The Owner
acknowledges and agrees that the benefit of the Improvement to the Subject Property does in fact
equal or exceed the Assessment Amount. The Owner also acknowledges and agrees that the Subject
Property receives a special benefit equal to or exceeding the Assessment Amount.
4. BINDING EFFECT; RECORDING. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Owner and the Owner’s successors and assigns. This Agreement may be recorded against the title
to the subject property.
