<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> APRIL 14, 2010 <br /> WITH THE DESIGN RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ENGINEER, <br /> BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE CITY WILL BE PAYING <br /> APPROXIMATELY 70% OF IMPROVEMENT COSTS, BASED ON <br /> THE FACT THAT IMPROVEMENT OF THE ROAD AT 24 FEET <br /> WOULD SET A PRECEDENT IN THE CITY <br /> "'The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br /> Ayes (1) Blesener. <br /> Nays (3) Keis, McGraw, Montour. <br /> Abstains (1) Boss. Resolution failed. <br /> Montour asked if Mr. Boss was in the position to negotiate for the Bryan <br /> Street neighborhood. He replied that he was representing the <br /> neighborhood solely on their petition fora 24 foot wide street. Boss felt <br /> that common sense should apply, and pointed out that 100% of the Bryan <br /> Street property owners are in support of a 24 foot wide street. <br /> Keis suggested awarding the bid this evening, but working with the Bryan <br /> Street property owners over the next two weeks to determine if there was <br /> an acceptable alternative. Keis again indicated that without an alternative <br /> acceptable to the City Council, based on other streets in the City and <br /> potential precedent, he supported the City Bngineer's option. <br /> The City Administrator clarified that during the two weeks until the April <br /> 28°i meeting City staff will review other streets, provide some analysis on <br /> application of the policy including alternatives to the policy, as well as <br /> potential precedents. City staff will then meet with the Bryan Street <br /> neighborhood to discuss their findings. A report will be presented to the <br /> Council on Apri128°i, at which time either the City );ngineer's <br /> recommendation or an alternative project recommendation will be <br /> finalized. The Administrator noted that the City Engineer has indicated <br /> that this two week timeline will be workable. <br /> McGraw asked if the Council should provide any guidelines on a potential <br /> compromise. Keis felt that City staff's research of other streets would be <br /> the guide. Keis felt that at the April 28°i meeting the Council would <br /> receive that report as well as take neighborhood input, and then make a <br /> decision. <br /> Mr. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOL UTION NO. 2010-4-86 -AWARDING THE LOW BID OF <br /> TOWER ASPHALT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF BRYAN STREET <br /> WITH THE DESIGN RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ENGINEER <br /> TO BE EFFECTIVE WITHIN TWO WEEKS (AFTER THE APRIL 28, <br /> 2010 CITY COUNCIL MEETING) WITH DIRECTION TO CITY <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
