City Council Minutes February 8, 1995 Page 3 i.8 ~/ had stated that in 1973 the city required that he build his garages in such a way that cars accessing them did not use the alley. Given this, Mr. Flodin questions why he would be paying assessments on alley improvements. Mr. Lloyd Jacobson, 1436 W. Idaho Avenue, asked about the accuracy of the project cost estimates; were they up-to-date? Engineer Maurer responded that the cost estimates included an inflation factor for 1995. Mr. Jacobson stated that he was very pleased with the total cost of the project, that the cost seemed very reasonable, and that he was "all for the project". He also complimented the city council on undertaking these types of improvement projects. There being no one else wishing to be heard, Mayor Baldwin closed the public hearing at 7:44 p. m. POLICY AGENDA CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 95-05, ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS FOR THE 1995 ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Engineer Maurer explained that the next step in the reconstruction process is to pass a resolution ordering the improvement and the preparation of plans. This does not commit the council to any particular assessment formula. After bids are received on the project, assessment calculations for individual properties will be computed and the affected property owners notified prior to the next public hearing. Motion was made by Councilmember Jacobs to approve Resolution 95-05. Motion carried unanimously. CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilmember Hustad reported excellent attendance at the Indoor Playroom Open House. Administrator Hoyt made the following announcements: • Staff is working with the St. Anthony Police Department on a 1995 kick-off event for neighborhood watch. This will probably occur in late March. • The annual Dead-of-Winter Inspirational event was held the previous Sunday with Katie McLoon finding the "prize" (Mayor's toupee) in the treasure hunt. • The audit of 1994 finances is going well. Roland Olson, the temporary accountant that the city hired in August to ease the transition until a permanent replacement was hired, has proven invaluable during the past six months. His last day will be Friday and his work has been appreciated!
