I will get your request placed on the City Council agenda for their December 7th meeting. After that date, the City Attorney will draft an assessment agreement and waiver of assessment appeal that you will have to sign in order for the City to pay the contractor. The contractor can begin work as soon as you have agreed to it with them, but please follow up with the invoice from the contractor as soon as the work has been completed. úÔÉÄÎ×õÜÊÉÔÏÖÊÁ íËÎÖËØÊÊùËÔÇØÁõÜÊÉÔÏÖÊðï ÁíÕ     Á÷ÜÅ   ÁÏÔÚÒØÖÖØËýÚÔÕÜÊÉÔÏÖÊÐÏÈÊ From: Sue Bohlken [mailto:sue@hastingsbeautyschool.com] Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 9:53 AM To: Nick Egger Subject: Need help Hello Nick, My name is Sue Bohlken and you were referred to me by John Zgoda. I'm writing to you because I have a water line that is leaking in my front yard and is forming a little pond. I have called different contractors and Tom Otto is the cheapest. Tom said it would cost $1500.00 to $2500.00 to repair and I do not have the money at this time to pay him and I was wondering if the City could pay this and access the cost to my taxes. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you, Sue Bohlken 469 Tiffany Drive Hastings, MN 55033 651-245-8496 (cell) 651-437-1225 (work) 11/23/2009
