J. NEW BUSINESS
2. Board of Adjustments and Appeals
a. Manager Evans stated in reviewing the State planninglaw, it appears that
it is not necessary for the Council to convene as the Board of Appeals and Adjust -
ments to consider variances. Council can act on them as the City Council. Section
462.354, sub. 2 of State law states that "the governing body may provide alternatively
that there be a separate board of appeals and adjustments or that the governing
body or the planning commission or a committee of the planning commission serve
as the board of appeals and adjustments..."
The cities of White Bear Lake, Maple Grove, Eagen, and Woodbury are examples of
cities where variances are handled by their city councils, rather than a board
of adjustments and appeals. Eliminating the board would have the following advan-
tages:
1. Less confusion for the audience
2. Separate minutes would not have to be done
3. Simpler agenda.
If the Council would like to make this change, they should direct staff to revise
the appropriate ordinances.
b. Councilmember Maida moved to direct staff to revise the appropriate ordinances.
Seconded by Councilmember Bastian. Ayes - all.

13. Mortgage Revenue Note Criteria
a. Manager Evans stated during 1981 the City collected only 71% of the current
special assessment installments that were due. At the end of 1981, outstanding
.delinquent special assessment were $1,282,007. To cope with this problem the
payment of delinquent special assessments will be required prior to the issuance
of building permits, special use permits, plat approvals and lot divisions.
The criteria for mortgage revenue note financing should also be revised to require
that proceeds from the note be used as follows:-
1. To pay all delinquent taxes and special assessments.
2. To pay all deferred and special or deferred assessemnts.
3. To provide a cash escrow for payment of all pending special assessments.
Items two and three would virtually eliminate the possibility of future delinquent
special assessments on projects financed by mortgage revenue notes.
It is recommended that the Council adopt the above additional requirements for
mortgage revenue note financing.
b. Acting Mayor Juker moved to adopt the amendment to the Mortgage Revenue Note
Criteria to include the following: _ --
1. To pay all delinquent taxes and special assessments.
2. To pay all deferred and special or deferred assessments.
3. To provide a cash escrow for payment of all pending special assessments.
