ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PETITIONS/LETTERS RECEIVED One petition, dated June ll, 1990, was received signed by six property owners, supporting the street repair of Tyler Street, 41st to 43rd Avenues, as or~iginally proposed. One letter was received from a resident on 43rd Avenue requesting the Council to delay any decision on the repair of 43rd Avenue between Central Avenue and Pierce Street. 4. PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION BY STAFF Ail of the projects under consideration at this continued public improvement hearing had been extensively discussed at the first public improvement hearing. The City Manager briefly reviewed each project and cited the new costs being proposed. a. Project 9018, PIR 868; Major maintenance and sealcoating of Tyler Street from 37th to 41st Avenue. Work ~ould include selective concrete curb and gutter re- placement, bituminous surface patching, and sealcoat application. This project includes !02 privately-owned parcels and two parcels owned by the City. There was limited discussion. Councilmember Clerkin advised that the Public Works Director has a plan for the entire City so residents can be informed approximately four or five years ahead of time as to what will be happening in the future. b. Project 9019; PIR 869; Major maintenance and seal¢oating of Tyler Street from 41st to 43rd Avenue. Work would include selective concrete curb and gutter re- placement, bituminous surface patching and seaicoat application. Councilmember Eawrocki explained the engineering and administrative charges for projects. The City Manager further explained the process necessary to prepare an improvement. The Public Works Director advised that a regular sealcoating schedule was not put into place until 1980. A resident whose property is located in the Project 9019 area stated she felt the letter she and her neighbors received from the City Manager was less than satisfactory. The letter suggested if the residents wished to have more done to their street than was being proposed they could circulate a petition for presentation to the Council for action. Public Hearing The City Manager stated he felt the letter reflected the wishes of the Council. Councilmember Nawrocki stated this letter had been sent after the last hearing at the request of the Council and it was accurate. The Public Works Director explained what is being proposed for this project. Councilmember Nawrocki felt a good maintenance program is preferred, particularly on this section of Tyler Street. He felt the street had been discussed for some time and that no conclusions had been drawn because of the history of watermain breaks and resident opposition to specific repair to it. He felt the history of the watermain doesn't support digging up the watermain and replacing it. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Carlson that projects 9018 and 9019 be approved for major maintenance and sealcoating of Tyler Street from 37th to 41st Avenues and Tyler Street from 41st to 43rd Avenues; work to include selective concrete curb and gutter replacement, bituminous surface patching and sealcoat application; and furthermore the assessment be the same amount to be levied for the sealcoat project for the Northeast Quadrant and the balance of the costs will come from General Unallocated Funds of the City. Cou~c!lmember Nawrocki stated he is aiming for a general maintenance program for streets and if property owners want more done on their streets they should petition. Councilmember Ruettimann observed that if the Council wishes the employees to do the job they should authorize the equipment needed. Councilmember Peterson felt if the policy to do maintenance and have a large part of the project charged to General Funds is adopted that this must be addressed in the budget. Mayor Carlson suggested the interest on the reserves could be used. Roll call: All ayes c. Project 9020, PIR 834; Major maintenance and sealcoating of 43rd Avenue from Central Avenue to Pierce Street and work would include selective concrete curb and gutter replacement, bituminous surface patching and sealcoat application. A resident of 43rd Avenue inquired what the condition of the sewers are in this area. The Public Works Director advised only patching and sealcoating are being considered at the present time. He stated that before any major reconstruction is considered the sewers would be viewed. Previously a resident of 43rd Avenue had indicated he intended to circulate a survey requesting major reconstruction for this street. Some of the residents in attendance indicated they were not suppOrtive of major reconstruction. Others stated they would support this but requested an estimate of the costs. Staff was not prepared to give estimates at this time and did not know if any sewer ~epidcemenc would be warranted. Councilmember Nawrocki felt this portion of the hearing should be continued. Motion by Clerkin, second by Peterson to continue the hearing.of Project 9020 until Monday, June 25, 1990 at 6:30 p.m. and that the project be first on the agenda. Roll call: All ayes d. Project 9022, PIR 822; Major maintenance and sealcoating of Royce Street from McLeod to 44th Avenue and work would include selective concrete curb and gutter replacement, bituminous surface patching and sealcoat application. Continued Public Improvement Hearing June 18, 1990 page 3 Some of the residents in attendance offered their opini.ons as to what they felt should be done with this street. Councilmember Nawrocki advised the assessment for a good patching job and sealcoating would be $2.13 if the project were treated the same as the project on Tyler Street and would include practically no curb work being done. Motion by Clerkin, second by Nawrocki to approve Project 9022 as stated in the agenda with the assessment rate of $2.13. Roll call: All ayes e. Project 9021, PIR 858; Major maintenance and sealcoating of Leander Lane from Royce Street to 44th Avenue with work including bitiminous surface patch- ing and sealcoat application. The resident at 4234 Reservoir Boulevard felt there was not enough traffic on Leander Lane to justify any work on the street. It was observed that some of the residents on Reservoir Boulevard use this street as their alley. Two residents of Leander Lane felt the street should be repaired and that it was in terrible condition. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Clerkin to approve Project 9021 as stated in the agenda with the understanding that the work be assessed at $2.13 per running foot for the property owners on both sides of Leander Lane and the balance of the costs come out of General Unallocated Funds. Roll call: All ayes 5. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING PROJECTS a.
