MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 1994 Morelan felt that even thouqh shoulder paving assessments have not been contested, the City should do what is right. The City Administrator reported that a neighborhood meeting will be held later this month on the Keller Parkway improvement. If the Council is considering a policy change, this should be decided before the City gets into the improvement process. Morelan felt that an improved shoulder on Keller Parkway was more of a community trail than other shoulder improvements which the City has assessed. The Administrator asked if the consensus was to prioritize the Keller Parkway shoulder improvement as part of the General Capital Improvement Listing. Morelan felt it should be part of the General Capital Improvement Budget. Scalze stated that if Keller Parkway shoulder paving is not assessed and if she were a property owner who had been assessed for shoulder paving, she would want a refund. The City Administrator stated that the City will have a decision on the Becker assessment appeal soon, and given the outcome of that decision, it may be necessary to review the street assessment policy. The Administrator asked if the Jackson Street trail improvement should be included in the 400 Fund. The Administrator noted that that improvement has been ordered and is shown in the Closed Bond Fund #500. Morelan felt it should be prioritized out of the General Capital Improvement Fund as a Park & Recreation General request. Scalze pointed out that it is a part of the street project. Morelan felt the trail improvement was no different than the Westwind trail improvement. Morelan noted that the Jackson 5treet trail was ordered as part of the street improvement only because of the timing issue in that Jackson/old County Road C/Lakeshore will be reconstructed. 5
