The motion passed unanimously (5-0). Adopt Resolution #95-28. Establishing the Assessed Cost for the County Road F Reconstruction. Mr, Stonehouse indicated the City received bids for the project on March 30, 1995. He indicated he recommended acceptance of all four bids and to award the bid to Midwest Asphalt, Inc. upon approval of plans by MnDOT, completion of the assessment hearing, and final resolution of trail and street width issues. He also indicated all conditions and transactions as noted should be subject to review and input by the City Attorney. Mr. Fritsinger indicated staffhas been working with the neighborhood and presented a few changes. Mr. Stonehouse indicated, from what he had reviewed, the changes would reduce the cost of the project, but have no actual effect on the assessments. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the sidewalk would be removed. Mr. Fritsinger indicated it had not yet been agreed to. Councilmember Aplikowski was not in favor of sidewalks. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if parking on the street was a concern for neighbors. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the road would be wide enough, but there was concern regarding traffic if parking is allowed. Mayor Probst indicated based on comments from residents, the concern for the walkway was in regards to impact on their properties. Councilmember Malone indicated in the past, if there was a walkway people will use them, but he expressed mixed feelings regarding the walkway. He indicated perhaps an easement compromise would help. Councilmember Malone indicated a parking ban on the street would be okay. He indicated the speed limit would most likely remain the same. MOTION: Keirn moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #95-28, Determining Assessed Cost of Improvement and Ordering Preparation of Proposed Assessment Roll in the Matter of County Road F Street Improvements of 1995. Mr. Craig Wilson inquired as to why if the project costs were reduced, the assessment did not go down. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the assessment per foot did not change due to the amount being based upon a typical street improvement, not necessarily this specific project.
