. . .e . . . . . . .e . . . . . . . .e . Arden Hills Council 8 May 23, 1994 Mayor Sather said that he agreed with the comments previously made by Councilmembers. Sather indicated that he would support keeping these streets, (including the Dunlap Street project), in the Pavement Management Project for 1994. He believed that this has a positive effect on a neighborhood. The Mayor gave as an example work previously done on another section of Dunlap. The neighbors at this location improved their landscaping after the street project was completed. The result was a neighborhood that has an upgraded and positive look. According to the assessment policy, if residents want to do street improvements in the future, they can bring to the Council a petition of 100% of the residents. That action would insure that they pay all of the costs of any improvement, instead of the 50% assessment charged currently. MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Hicks, to include Dunlap Street in the 1994 Pavement Management Project. Council asked if Dunlap Street was removed from the project, would there be an increase in charges and cost. Engineer Maurer indicated that there are overhead costs to take into account, no matter how big or small a project. It would not be expected to be drastically different if Dunlap Street alone is taken out. Attorney Filla indicated that the contractor has the right to change these overhead costs and charges if it is rebid. Councilmember Probst indicated that there would have to be additional time allowed to hold a project hearing and assessment hearing in order to follow through the procedure, if Dunlap was removed. The Mayor called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried unanimously (5-0).
