MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 25, 1992 the way to County Road D. Mr. Ehrnreiter, property owner in the area, reported that a number of property owners are having trouble with their wells. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 92-3-105 - ACCEPTING THE PETITION FOR WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENT ON EDGERTON STREET BETWEEN LITTLE CANADA ROAD AND LABORE ROAD SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE PETITION AND ORDERING A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE IMPROVEMENT IF THE PETITION MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Blesener, LaValle, Hanson, Collova, Scalze. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Scalze pointed out to property owners that if they are having trouble with their wells, an watermain improvement, even if approved, may not move very fast especially if this project were to be tied to another project. Mr. Ehrnreiter stated that if more signatures are needed to meet adequacy requirements, he will get additional signatures. Hanson pointed out that a project that was petitioned for only needs 3 votes of the Council to pass, but a project initiated by the Council requires 4 votes. Scalze pointed out that the last time a hearing was held for watermain improvement for this area, the majority of the property owners did not want the watermain. Scalze pointed out that including this project with others would bring the cost down. Scalze reported that there is no watermain in the Vanderbie and LaBore Road area. The Administrator suggested that if a feasibility study is ordered, the Council may want to include Edgerton Street to County Road D, as well as the Vanderbie, Allen Avenue and LaBore Road area. Collova asked the timing of the process. The Administrator replied that it would take about one month for the feasibility report to be prepared. Once received, the Council could call a public hearing, and Page 12
