MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 26, 2011 <br />indicated that in reviewing the cost estimates with Xcel, it was his sense <br />that there was not much depreciation credit factored in for the City. The <br />Administrator indicated that the City is not precluded from undertaking <br />this project in the future. Montour and Boss agreed that this project was <br />too expensive to undertake at this time. Blesener suggested that the City <br />Administrator confirm in writing with Xcel that the City would not be <br />precluded from moving forward with the project in the future. <br />The City Administrator reported that City staff will continue to work with <br />the County on other amenities that will be a part of the Little Canada Road <br />upgrade. <br />2012 The City Administrator reviewed the City Engineer's report dated October <br />IMPROVEMENTS 21, 2011 relative to 2012 street and utility improvements. The <br />Administrator noted that the list of potential projects could change (Spruce <br />Street) depending on what happens with the 694 bridge project. The <br />Administrator pointed out that staff would like the flexibility of <br />considering a number of potential projects, which would then be fine - <br />tuned depending on the feedback received at the neighborhood meetings, <br />the 694 bridge project, and the available funding for this work. The <br />Administrator noted that the City has earmarked approximately $1 million <br />per year for street improvements. This amount of money would not be <br />adequate to do all the projects proposed. <br />Blesener asked about authorizing the City Engineer to do feasibility <br />studies on all the projects. The Administrator reported that the Engineer <br />would have to have most of this work done in preparation for the <br />neighborhood meetings. If the City did not proceed with a project, the <br />feasibility study would remain valid into the future except for needing <br />updated numbers. <br />Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -10 -214 — AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO <br />HOLD NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS ON POTENTIAL 2012 <br />IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY <br />ENGINEER TO PREPARE FEASIBILITY REPORTS ON THESE <br />POTENTIAL PROJECTS <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Boss. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />4 <br />
