City of Golden Valley City Council/Manager Regular Meeting Minutes
October 10, 2019 — 6:30 pm
The Council discussed delay penalty -right of way charges and residential/single family/duplex Street
Assessments. Council recognizes that the charge imposed on properties during assessments should be
appropriate with the dollar amount the residence increases in market value due to such
improvements. The proposed 2020 fee is consistent with detailed analysis and the increases are
applied uniformly to the same class of properties.
Council will have its first and second consideration of the ordinance on its October 15 and November 6
Council Meeting respectively.
