Mayor Nilsen opened the Public Hearing for the Proposed Assessment for the Improvement of Larpenteur and 66 la Albert by„the construction of a storm sewer... drainage area described as Improvement 66-1), Clerk Strandquist read the notice of Public Hearing, -.Attorney Kyle explained assessment procedures. v f The first thing I do not understand is why it should be erts assessed to the property owners, It seems like it is a . repair job just as an ordinary repair job in the streets, How about if in two or five years it needs further repair who pays than? Will it go back to the property owners again? I think it never should have been brought up here. I donut , think we shotald be charged for it. Lembergs Under normal procedure, this is how it is handled. The original drainage was put in by the county and went to the edge of the county right-»of-gray. We have gone back now and tried to correct this somewhat and we feel that our design is going to work. Tam optimistic. Bertossis Why not go back to the county and make them pay for it? Lemberg: The water isn~t coming from the county road. We have to remember as more homes are being built, problems are created. -. Probably 20 years ago there were ditches that adequately handled water. 2? ~1~1~ Bertossi: I question whether the coun-~y cannot take care of this. Nilsens The county provided the storm sewer on Larpenteur Avenue, but this project they will not handle. .. .
