PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED 1998 LARPENTEUR AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
Engineer Maurer explained that this public hearing is an opportunity to hear comment
from persons who would be impacted by Ramsey County's 1998 improvements to
Larpenteur Avenue. Although the hearing is part of the assessment process, this
hearing is meant to address the improvement itself and not proposed assessment
amounts to specific properties. There will be a separate hearing in the spring regarding
assessment amounts. Notices were mailed to all affected property owners and was
published in the city's official newspaper.
Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. Since there was no one in the
audience wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
POLICY AGENDA
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 97-34, ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
1998 LARPENTEUR AVENUE PROJECT
Engineer Maurer stated that the next step in the improvement process is for the city
council to formally order the improvement.
Motion was made by Councilmember Hustad to approve Resolution 97-34, ordering the
improvement of the 1998 Larpenteur Avenue improvement project. Motion passed
unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:29 p.m. Following adjournment, the council conducted a
