MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 14, 1991 Blesener recommended that the City fill the pot holes on a temporary basis and keep track of the cost. The City Administrator stated that given the amount of pot holes, he was not confident that $1,000 would be adequate to cover the cost. Blesener asked the cost of a feasibility study. The City Engineer estimated the cost at $2,000. Blesener felt that if the cost of the study could be kept under $2,000, he was willing to forego a developer deposit at this time. Past City policy has been to collect developer deposits to cover consultant costs. Collova pointed out that if the improvement does not proceed, the City would incur the cost of the feasibility study. Stanke again pointed out the amount of taxes the Ryan Industrial Park property owners are paying. Again, the City Administrator pointed out that these taxes pay for police and fire protection and not just road maintenance costs. The Engineer pointed out that the City did a lot of soil analysis work in the Park a couple of years ago, and this information would still be sufficient for purposes of the feasibility report. Collova asked if there was a lot of experience available to determine how the fabric works in soil as bad as those in Ryan Industrial park. The City Engineer replied that there is now 10 years experience with the fabric and it is working well. The Engineer again stated that in the feasibility report he would look at the options of patching, leveling and overlaying as well as total street reconstruction plus utilities. Stanke asked who paid for the milling of the road and overlay work that was done in the early 1980's. Blesener replied that it was his understanding that Art Ryan paid for this work. Scalze reported that Public Works has informed her that it would cost approximately $10,000 to fill the pot holes in the Park. Page 11
