ES TY COUNCIL JUNE 7, 1994 will be assessed. There has been no discussion about assessing the cost of the Jackson Street trail improvement or sidewalk improvement along Jackson /Old County Road C /Lakeshore. Therefore, the City Council is under no obligation to hold a public hearing if the cost of the project will not be assessed. The Council held the public review this evening in order to get the reaction of the residents to the overall project. Council discussed the width of the trail proposed along Jackson Street. Wehrle pointed out that maintenance is easier on an 8 foot width than 6 foot. Also, construction equipment is geared to lay an 8 foot width. Therefore, the cost of 6 feet versus 8 feet will likely be the same. The City Engineer reported that an 8 foot width provides a multi- purpose trail and allows two people to pass one another on the trail. Morelan pointed out that an 8 foot width allows easy access for cars unless the entrances are gated. Wehrle pointed out that a post system could be installed at the entrances to prevent vehicular access. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 94 -6 -158 - ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT OF AN 8 -FOOT WIDE BITUMINOUS TRAIL ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF JACKSON STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY FROM DEMONT AVENUE TO OLD COUNTY ROAD C AND FROM OLD COUNTY ROAD C TO AUSTRALIAN AVENUE AS PART OF THE UPCOMING ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN THE AREA WITH THE INDICATION THAT THERE WILL BE NO ASSESSMENT FOR THIS TRAIL IMPROVEMENT TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE AREA The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Pedersen.
