MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas S . Reeder
SUBJECT: Revornri on of Li qunnr Li CPnse - Sunset Lounge
DATE: August 8, 1978
Attached are two letters we have sent to the liquor license
holder of the Sunset Lounge .
Problem:
It appears that the liquor license holders are not in control
of the operation. We have not been notified of any change in the
corporation officers and we have not issued a license to a new
applicant .
Recommended Action:
Set a Public Hearing for 7 : 30 PM, September 7 , 1978 (Thursday
night) . If they do not show us the needed documentation,
then staff will recommend revocation of the license at the hearing.
If they do, we will recommend canceling the hearing.

Dear Councilpersons,
I am submitting this statement in lieu of a verbal protest at
the public hearing this evening, because of a severe cold that has
limited my ability to speak.
This statement will also serve to notify you that I intend
to contest any assessment levied for the West Side Storm Sewer
Project, more popularly known as the "Big Fraud" . I will not hesi-
tate to carry the matter all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court,
should that be necessary.
Your assessment against Lot 10, Block 36 in the amount of $467 . 02
supposedly for a Special Benefit from aforementioned project cannot
stand for the following reason;
1 . prior to the installation of the 76-2 project it took about a
5 11rain before the runoff water from the streets would begin to en-
ter my property. Now, a 1" rain results in problems for me to keep
the water from the streets from entering my property.
2. The perimeter of my property is higher than the center, and is
also higher than the street, so there never has been ,any runoff
from my property entering the street. All rainfall on my property
has been seepage on my property, and my problem has consisted solely
of water from the streets entering my property.
3 . If the likes of Goriesky, your former "Expensive education type"
engineer who would claim a special benefit from stopping the street
water from entering my property, then you blew it again as you have
with the entire area east of Harrison.
It is difficult for me to understand why you would attempt to
defraud your friends and neighbors that elected you to office, but
then it must be a total lack of common sense, reason and logic
brought about by the gratuities served up by the likes of Price .
At this time this afternoon, I don' t know what the majority
of citizens will say about this fraud, but then with a good amount
of cowardice and apathy, they may stand still for a $2 million fraud.
You can be sure that there are those that will not let this
go by without seeing that justice is done .
cerely,
Au ust B. Dellwo,

Dear Mayor Harbeck:
Please accept this letter as my letter of resignation as
City Treasurer/Assistant City Administrator for the City of Shakopee
effective September 15 , 1978 . I have acceptect the position of
Finance Director for the City of Maple Grove, Minnesota .
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to
the present council and also past councilmen for the support and
encouragement I have received during the past 52 years. I have
enjoyed working with the other city employees and feel that I have
benefited greatly from my work in Shakopee .
Sincerely,
Fredric E. Christiansen

PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Payment Schedule : A property owner has thirty days after the
Council adopts the special assessments to pay the full amount of
the assessment without any interest being charged. If full payment
is made after the thirty day period, interest will be charged from
the date of the resolution adopting the special assessments . The
City Council will adopt the special assessments at a meeting some-
time after the public hearing. This will probably be done prior to
September 5th so the thirty day period will probably be the month of
September. A property owner may make a partial payment on his assess-
ment . This partial payment must be at least $100.00 and must be made
prior to October 10, 1978 .
A property owner may choose to pay the special assessment over
a period of ten years. The City certifies one year' s principal
(1/10 of the assessment) plus interest to the County Auditor on
October 1Cth of each year. That amount will then be on the tax
statement for the coming year. The first year' s certification will
include interest from the date of the resolution to December 31 , 1979 .
A property owner can pay the remaining balance at any time to
the City of Shakopee . If payment is not made prior to October 10th
of any year, there will be one year' s payment on the tax statement
even if the balance is paid in full .
Interest Rate: The interest rate on the special assessments will
be 62%. The City of Shakopee has adopted a policy of setting the
interest rate at 2% over the net interest rate of the bonds sold
to finance the project . The net interest rate of the bonds is 4. 59%.
The additional 2% is used to offset any delinquent payments of special
assessments . State law authorizes a maximum interest rate of 8% which
the City has used for previous special assessments .
