Ciernia moved, seconded by Chenoweth, adoption of Resolution R-86-38 RESOLUTION R-86-38 A RESOLUTION LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR DELINQUENT SANITARY SEWER CHARGES PROPOSED SNELLING AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION UPDATE Sehunicht presented the history of the proposed reconstruction of Snelling Avenue, and reviewed the plans. He commented on the fact that six lots on the west side of Snelling do not have city water, the owners were asked a few years ago if they were interested in extension of the service in conjunction with Snelling Avenue construction, but indicated they were not in favor of extension at that time. He recommended the property owners again be contacted and informed this will be the last opportunity for extension of the service. Schunicht explained MN/DOT is considering a storm water pumping station at Idaho/Snelling as was stipulated in an agreement with the City in 1960; however, since the drainage problem has been minimized, there is no compelling reason to install the pump. He felt it might be a good negotiating tool with MN/DOT, the city will not press for the pumping station if the city is not charged for storm sewer replacement. Council discussed at length the cost sharing for storm sewer replacement, recalled MN/DOT had formerly stated the cost to the city would be minimal and would not warrant an assessment, and now the cost is estimated at $10,000 to $50,000. Council also felt the storm sewer is in place and functioning and if MN/DOT desires replacement they should fund it . Council discussed the advantages of extending the water main at this time, the need for a hydrant on the west side of Snelling for fire protection, and having the service available if property owners might desire city water in the future. Chenoweth suggested the main at least be brought across Snelling and a hydrant installed during the street construction, after which Chenoweth moved, seconded by Wallin, authorizing the engineer to prepare a feasibility study on the water main extension, and requesting MN/DOT include the watermain in the Snelling project as an alternate which could be deleted. Motion carried unanimously. MN/DOT will be informed the city will compromise, will forego the pumping station if MN/DOT will finance all or a majority of the cost of storm sewer.
