OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
Special Meeting
March 16, 1972
The meeting was called to order in the Field House at 7:07 p.m.
Roll Call: Land, Norberg, ~leska, Heintz, Nawrocki - present.
Mayor Nawrocki reported this special meeting was called for the
purpose of considering some improvement projects. Basically,
seal coating projects and alley paving projects, as recommended by
the Engineering Department.
Seal Coating.
The City M~nager read the list of proposed streets due for seal
coating. He said seal coating is a necessary street surface
protection that is put on normally every five or six years.
He explained the street is first patched and repaired and any
large cracks that exist would be filled with patching material.
Then the whole surface of the street is cleaned and a seal of
liquid asphalt is spread over the surface and a fine rock layer
is spread over the surface and rolled into place. He said
this will protect the street from weathering and traffic.
The cost is estimated at 54¢ per front ~sessable foot and
18¢ per avenue assessable foot. On 50th, from University to 7th, more
work was needed so the estimate was $1 for street and 33¢ for the avenue.
A number of residents from the affected areas were present and
lengthy discussions were held on the amount of traffic on
certain resi~lential streets, water problems, and the procedure
in taking bids.
A Resolution Ordering the Improvements was offered by Land,
seconded by Heintz.
