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