ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 10, 2010 16 8.A. Motion to Adopt Resolution 2010-023:Awarding Bid for the 2010 Pavement Management Program (continued) Finance Director Iverson stated the City did not have sewer backup insurance at this time. The City had lost this insurance due to a significant number of claims and not taking care of the sewer system. It is the intent of the City to get sewer backup insurance again. In order to get this insurance the City has to have a regular maintenance program again and fix all the problems. The motion was called to a vote. The motion carried unanimously(5-0). Mayor Harpstead asked what the next steps would be in this process. Civil Engineer Giga stated Staff would make the corrections to the resolution. The next steps would be to declare costs to be assessed, order preparations of the assessment roll, receive the assessment roll, order the assessment hearing, hold the assessment hearing, and adopt the assessment roll. The resolution declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering the preparations of the assessment roll could be prepared for the next Council meeting. If the ordering of the preparations of the assessment roll is approved on May 24, then potentially the Council could also receive the assessment roll and order the assessment hearing on May 24. If this is done then the assessment hearing would be a month later to allow for notification to residents and publication. The earliest the assessment hearing could occur is the second meeting in June. Councilmember Holden asked what streets are scheduled for mill and overlay and reconstruction for next year. Civil Engineer Giga stated she would look up this information and put it in the admin update. Mayor Harpstead stated this information is also available on the City's website. 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Councilmember McClung stated he would be out of town from May 21 to June 6 and would not be attending those meetings scheduled during this time frame. Councilmember Holden stated on the conference call with the GSA on the TCAAP issue last Monday, the GSA is still talking to the Army about the lease/licensing. GSA had said that the Army had not bought off on it. She stated the main concern she has with the lease/licensing is County Road 96 by the entrance to the TCAAP property there is 20-30 acres in this agreement. One thing the City needs to hit the GSA with is that this would be an opportunity to develop right at the entrance that would not be on the tax rolls for many years. The City needs to watch and monitor this to see if they can make this part a little smaller. Mayor Harpstead asked Finance Director Iverson if the Federal Government leases this land, would it be collecting property taxes as undeveloped land.
