Pursuant to due adjournment an adjourned regular meeting of the
Village Council of the Village of Golden Valley, Hennepin Uounty, ?Minnesota,
was held at the Village Hall in the Village of Golden Valley, Minnesota, on

The following were absent: Reiss.
Mr. Bradley, Village Attorney, Mr. Howard, Special Bond Counsel, and
Mr. Gronvall were also present.
The President announced that the meeting was convened and open for
the purpose of considering the assessment for Street Improvement No. 1.
The Clerk reported that no written objections to the assessment had
been filed in his office.
The President then stated that the meeting would be open to an
informal discussion of the assessment. Mr. Howard and Mr. Gronvall were
called upon to explain the method of assessment. A number of property owners
were present and several stated that the sentiment of the District was in favor
of an assessment against all property on a front foot basis. The attorneys
pointed out that under the law the assessment must be in accordance with
benefits and Mr. Gronvall stated that in his opinion a straight front foot
assessment would not be in proportion to benefits to all property because of
the unusual shape and size of the various lots. No formal objections were
offered but a few owners called attention to disparity in the assessment on
their lots. Mr. Gronvall was asked to consider these objections. He
recommended the assessment be reduced as follows:
