'. . MR. PIERRE LIPPERT: I guess if we're done here, I'd just like to express my gratitude to Mr. Leonard for being so cooperative. I'm sure the majority of the neighbors who spoke to him would like to thank him tonight. I guess we're all a little suspicious at how cooperative Ramsey County was. We would just like to thank him for making himself available and coming out and physically marking our properties in such a manner that we knew exactly where everything was. I'd just like to say thank you very much. It was very nice of you to come out and help us out. MAYOR WOODBURN: I'm sure that the Council feels the same way. Ramsey County does a very good job. I've come to trust them in the last couple of years - almost. Anything new? If there's nothing new, I'll close the public hearing at this time and just ask if there's anyone here for the other public hearing on the federal revenue sharing? Seeing that we're not holding anyone up, we'll continue with this project - continue, rather, with a resolution on this matter perhaps. Back to the Council. Does the Council have any pros and cons or any questions about the project? We really have two items here - several items that go together. A resolution ordering construction of the improvement - if the Council so deems - and the resolution which you have in front of you (inaudible) cost sharing (inaudible) and restricted parking. The construction and cost sharing - I think we've read that as it has been outlined and I see no surprises in it. COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: While we're pausing, would Mr. Popovich go over that breakdown of that $66,000? MR. POPOVICH: It was $34,500 for the concrete curb and gutter, $7,700 for the walkway, $10,000 for right-of~way and easements, $5,000 for drainage facilities. That totals $57,200. Then the engineer put 15% contingency, legal, engineering and miscellaneous of $8,800. That totals $66,000. MAYOR WOODBURN: I'd like to ask Mr. Leonard a question - will it be possible to hold off the construction - would it be feasible - what would it do to the neighbors - and would it be feasible to hold off construction of the bituminous pathway until 1984? . MR. LEONARD: Yes. It could be a condition of special provisions to the specifications that the pathway and the disruption of the private property be delayed until 1984 - no problem. I would make one exception to that and that is - in the event that we elected to put a catch basin or storm sewer facility on private property. None are proposed yet in the plan. One could be added if it became a desire of someone. We could follow that policy. -26-
