<br />Ms. Lee asked if residents could be assured that everything will be done to take the <br />lowest bid. Mayor Sweeney explained that the City is required to take the lowest <br />responsible bid. <br /> <br />Mr. Tim Schweppe, 7249 Centerville Road, asked Council to consider a complete' <br />reconstruction of Peltier Lake Road all the way to CSAH 14 and do the project as an <br />open cut if it would be less costly over all. <br /> <br />Ms. Mary Moran, 1743 Peltier Lake Drive, indicated she is concerned with <br />reconstructing the road as the previous two reconstructions did not work. She then said <br />she has lived there for 22 years and does not think any road, no matter how it is built, will <br />hold on that type of soil. She further commented that the last time the road was <br />reconstructed, it began to degrade within the :first year or two and she does not feel it is <br />fair to ask residents to pay for a third road. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked if residents preferred to have the road patched seasonally. <br /> <br />Ms. Moran said that residents would prefer the seasonal patching, as well as, seasonal <br />sea1-coating seasonally. . <br /> <br />Council Member Lee indicated there has been a problem with funding those types of <br />maintenance issues. He then said that Council has been discussing a better schedule for <br />repairing roads, proactively, rather than reactively. <br /> <br />Ms. Moran said she was very opposed to redoing the roads. She then said that residents <br />were told that there was $50,000 available to offset the costs of looping the water and' <br />they would like that amount used to lower their assessments. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney asked where residents received that information. Ms.- Moran indi~ted <br />that previous Council had told them that. Council Member Capra indicated the' City <br />would look into that matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Roger Shimon, 1751 Peltier Lake Drive, indicated the $50,000 if it was earmarked <br />for looping would be contained in the minutes and requested that the City research the <br />item. He then said that the residents should be entitled to that amount plus the 5 or 6 <br />years of interest on the amount. <br /> <br />Mr. Shimon asked whether the City considered open cutting in. the boulevard and <br />directionally drilliD.g under driveways. Mayor Sweeney indicated the City could ask for a <br />price for that type of installation to determine what would be more cost effective. <br /> <br />Mr. Shimon indicated that everyone has said there is plenty of water, but there are <br />watering bans every year because there is not enough water. Mayor Sweeney indicated <br />the City is looking at a new water tower and has the funds to construct it once a location <br />is determined. He then said that the interconnect with Lino Lakes is to. open up and give <br />the City water from Lino Lakes if needed, but it has worked in the other direction with <br /> <br />Page 8 of17 <br />
