Kevin Hansen., Public Works Director, listed the areas involved that had not received prior treatment. The work is complete. This is a joint cooperative project with multiple Anoka County cities. This is done with a chip seal, giving a better project for wear and aesthetics. The recommendation is consistent with the costs indicated at the initial hearing. The interest rate is set by the Council this evening. Peterson asked if a six percent interest rate is sufficient. Hansen stated that we used six percent last year, using .5 percent plus to cover the bond payments. Nawrocki indicated that five percent is closer to the needed cost. Hansen stated that there is no added cost to the seal coat project. b. Questions/Comments from City Council and the Public. Marlin Kirchsbam, 1619 41St Street, asked if the seal coating is done. Hansen stated there will be only one more street sweeping of the project area. Kirchbam asked a trash question, which staff answered. Nawrocki pointed out that if someone does not pay this, it is a delinquent assessment and we charge an additional 15 percent. Peterson indicated the assessment was advertised at seven percent, but the recommendation is for a six percent interest rate. c.
