HomeMy WebLinkAboutJun 21, 1971OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS Special Meeting June 21 , 1971 The meeting was called to order at 8~01 p.m. Roll Call: · Logacz, Nawrocki - present. Jeska arrived at 8:05 p.m. Land, Heintz, Mayor Nawrocki reported this special meeting was called for the purpose of considering two proposed improvements, both based on the recommendation of the Engineering Department. Hearing on Blacktop Overlay - 45th Avenue N.E. from University to Central. The City Engineer said the surface on 45th Avenue is boney, there are signs of deterioration. The street is due for a seal coat ~X~but this is not the type of treatment that will hold the street together. Overlay would probably last 1½ to 2 times longer than a seal coat. In addition, drainage would have to be improved on intersections at 7th Street, 6th Street and 5th Street to get the water into a storm drain and keep the volume of water off the street. The estimated cost of the ~erlay is approximately $9,000. Storm sewer work is proposed in conjunction with the overlay, estimated at $21,0OO of which $1,800 is already part of an alley surfacing project leaving $19,200 estimated cost to the storm sewer work. It is proposed that $10,O00 of the cost of storm sewer would be paid for out of general funds in the City leaving about $9,200 worth of storm sewer work to be assessed. The total estimated cost to be assessed for overlay and storm sewer is approximately $1.03 per foot ½ way up the block both sides of 45th, and property fronting on 45th Avenue would be assessed Residents present questioned the need for storm drains at the intersections. The Engineers said storm sewer design is not just for low spots. You try and intercept some of the water before it gets to the low spots. We need continual pick-up ~ water all along. Questions were raised on how the Village of Hilltop would be assessed for their portion north of 45th Avenue from Central to Monroe. Mayor Nawrocki reported the City has no authority to assess another municipality but we can enter into an agreement with them for their share. How the Village collects money for their share is their own affair. Motion by Land, seconded by Logacz that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with the construction of overlay and storm sewer v~o~k on 45th Avenue from Central to University. Roll Call - All Ayes. Motion by Heintz, seconded by Jeska, to amend the motion to approve the project contingent upon participation by the Village of Hilltop. Roll Call - All Ayes. Mayor Nawrocki said the resolution authorizing the project will not be read or approved until an agreement is negotiated with the Village of Hilltop. Hearing on Curb, Gutter and Accessory Utility Work with Bituminous Surfacing On Jefferson Street, 39th to 40th Avenue, and 39th Avenue, 5th to Jefferson. The City Engineer reported this is actually two projects. One is for curb, gutter, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and bituminous surfacing on Jefferson Street from 39th to 40th Avenue. The other project involves curb, gutter and surfacing on 39th Avenue from 5th Street to Jefferson. He said curb and gutter will be installed and assessed only where there is none at the present time. The heavy bituminous surfacing on the streets will come under the State Aid Program and no assessments will be made. The assessment for curb and gutter is largely to the Park Department of the City. A discussion was held on the possibility of installing sidewalks on the east and west side of Jefferson Street going south of 40th Avenue to the park properties. Motion by Land, seconded by Jeska that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with these two projects and that the City Engineer be requested to check on the cost of the feasibility of sidewalks.
