<br />Council Member Nelson commented that she likes to hear from residents to bring other <br />perspectives to the table for consideration. She then indicated Council needed to decide <br />if all residents of the City should pay for water coming down the street or just those <br />properties that benefit from it. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that there are residents that are in the affected area that <br />have said they want water. She then noted Council would take all of the information into <br />consideration and make the best decision possible for the City as a whole. <br /> <br />Mr. Lattu indicated that the developer is able to pass on the costs of the watermain to the <br />people who buy the lots but an individual property owner is not able to pass on the costs. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated the value would be passed on when the house is sold. <br />She also commented that property owners have the value of fire protection. <br /> <br />Mr. Lattu indicated that there would not be a big difference in insurance rates so that is <br />not a benefit to him. <br /> <br />Mr. Zimley asked if the City intended to extend the watermain down Mound Trail in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated the City is not planning on extending the watermain <br />down Mound Trail but noted residents could petition the City for water. <br /> <br />Mr. Zimleyasked if the watermain was sized to handle extending the watermain down <br />Mound Trail. City Engineer Peterson indicated it would be possible to. extend the <br />watermain down Mound Trail but noted it is a long run and that would affect water <br />pressure. <br /> <br />Mr. Lattu commented that there is potential that the City could loop at Peltier or Mound <br />Trail. He then asked what portion the City paid in the Eagle Pass development. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the City paid the costs to oversize the line. <br /> <br />Motion was made bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. and seconded bv Council <br />Member Travis to close the public hearine:. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg closed the public hearing at 7:25 p.m <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that it was her opinion that the developer <br />needs to pay 50% of the costs because the developer is the driving force behind the <br />watermain extension and previous developers have been required to pay 50%. She then <br />noted that City Engineer Peterson had said there is money leftover from the Lakeland <br />Hills project that could be used. <br /> <br />Page 6 of28 <br />
