<br />City Council 2007-09-12, 8:00 p.m. <br />Minutes of Work Session <br /> <br />Present were Mayor Capra, Council members Tom Lee, Linda Broussard-Vickers, Jeff <br />Paar, and Michelle Lakso. Also present were City Attorney Kurt Glaser, City Engineer <br />Mark Statz, and Public Works Director Paul Palzer. <br /> <br />Mark Statz reviewed the feasibility report for the 2009 street improvements. The total <br />cost of the project would exceed $8 million. It was estimated that assessments would be <br />around 30 percent of the project cost and be higher on streets where watermain was <br />included, since that cost is entirely assigned to the properties served. The council <br />discussed the costs and how the project might be assessed. Also considered was the <br />possibility of including the water service lines to the homes in the project. This increases <br />the costs and assessment amounts, but takes away the uncertainty for the property <br />owners. The city would not subsidize the service line work, but would provide the <br />financing. <br /> <br />The Council agreed that the open house meeting with property owners should take place <br />on October 4, at St. Genevieve Community Center. Council members may try to attend, <br />but that would not be necessary. The purpose of the meeting would be to present the <br />project to property owners and get feedback before any definite decisions are made on the <br />project. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Dallas Larson, Administrator <br />
