MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING (IMPROVEMENT HEARING SPRUCE, SUNRISE DRIVE & SUNSET COURT) DECEMBER 14, 2022 street plans. He explained that some cities pay for the entire cost of the street projects and then charge higher taxes to pay for it. Beth Watrud, 2460 Sunrise Drive, stated that she is concerned also. She stated that her taxes have continued to go up and will go up again next year. She stated that she does not think her road is that bad, and does not understand what would deteriorate and cause that much damage over the next few years. She stated it is drivable and it looks just like the other part of their street that was redone in 2010. She asked how their partial street cost compares to doing the whole Sunset Court street. Leif Masrud, 2439 Sunrise Drive, stated that Sunrise Drive is a weird situation in that it is was built in two phases, and is wondering if it would save some money to wait and do the whole street at the same time. Upon motion by McGraw, seconded by Fischer, the public hearing was closed. The City Engineer explained that as pavement cracks, it lets in water, which is a road's worst enemy. He stated the water freezes and thaws and continues to make the cracks worse. He explained that the per -foot costs between the Sunset Court and Sunrise Drive projects are almost the same, but the individual assessments depend on how many homes there are to split it between. He reported that there is a mill and overlay project proposed for the other half of Sunrise Drive in order to make both sections look the same and get them on the same schedule in the future. The City Administrator stated that the other part of Sunrise Drive is planned for a mill and overlay next year since a neighborhood survey did not have any opposition to the project. He noted they would also be. assessed for that project. Torkelson asked if the Engineer would recommend that the Sunrise Drive project move forward next year.
