MINUTES <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />JULY 24, 1985 <br />PAGE 3 <br />Mayor Eggert commented on the informational meeting held in April regard- <br />ing extension of the Lindig storm sewer and that at the meeting those <br />in attendance indicated opposition to the project, however, later it <br />became evident that there were persons in favor of the storm sewer <br />including G. E. Behrens, 1816 Tatum, who was interested in building on <br />his lot on Lindig. Engineer Schunicht reviewed his letter dated July <br />12, 1985 answering questions raised by Mr. Behrens regarding the Lindig <br />sewer extension. Council then accepted a petition presented by Mr. <br />Behrens, a copy of which is on file in the Clerk's Office. Council <br />discussed at length the area to be benefitted, use of tax increment <br />funds, in view of the fact that there are fewer funds than anticipated. <br />Dick Winkel, 1825 Fairview, opposed the extension, and stated that he <br />has had a garden in that area for 10 years and has never had a drainage <br />problem. <br />Reva Kurtz, 1805 Fairview, inquired if the cost of the storm sewer <br />included the lift pump to which Engineer Schunicht replied the lift <br />station is for sanitary sewer not storm sewer and that the cost would be <br />approximately $40,000. Following the discussion, Councilmember <br />Chenoweth moved, seconded by Mayor Eggert, that Resolution R-85-39 <br />be adopted directing the Engineer to prepare a feasibility study on <br />the project, such study to be done in conjunction with the Fiscal Con- <br />sultant in order that available tax increment funds can be re-projected. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />RESOLUTION R-85-39 <br />A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE CITY ENGINEER TO PREPARE A <br />FEASIBILITY STUDY ON LINDIG STREET UTILITY EXTENSION <br />Irene Struck, 1805 Tatum, explained that she could not attend the public <br />hearing on the Tatum Street improvements and questioned why Tatum is <br />connected to the Coffman project, and if the assessment of $2,800 is <br />correct. She also stated that there were many on Tatum who were not <br />heard and that more input should be taken. Mayor Eggert replied that <br />the $2,800 amount is the projected assessment. He also explained <br />how the hearing was held according to law, and that was held open <br />for 48 hours after the hearing for written input from those who <br />did not speak at the hearing. <br />Following the discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmemer <br />Ciernia, that Resolution R-85-40 be adopted rescinding Resolution R-85-37, <br />and awarding the bid for the Coffman/Larpenteur/Tatum/Lindig/Ford Street <br />Right-of-Way deleting Item No. 3 of the Ford St. project.
