MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 24, 2014 the project is not ordered this evening and is delayed, the assessment as proposed may or may not be the same in future considerations of the improvement. Montour stated that he felt the assessment proposed at this time is an equitable offer on the part of the City. He also noted that at the most recent neighborhood meeting, there was support for moving forward with the project. One property owner clarified the City's position that watermain would be installed along Schletty Drive if there is any major work done to the road. Montour replied that that was the policy of the current Council, and he saw no reason why a future Council would deviate from that policy. Keis indicated that he would not change his mind on that issue if the project were delayed for a few years. There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment further on this matter. Upon motion by Keis, seconded by Boss, the public hearing was closed. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -3 -54 — ORDERING IMPROVEMENT NO. 2014 -12, SCHLETTY DRIVE (SOUTH OF LITTLE CANADA ROAD) CONSISTING OF FULL RECONSTRUCTION INCLUDING CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER AND AN UPGRADED STORM SEWER SYSTEM AND THE ADDITION OF WATERMAINAND STREET LIGHTING AS WELL AS ORDERING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Montour noted that the next step will be to go out for bids. When the bids come back, the Council will reviewed whether or not they are substantially different than the estimate, and based on that either award or reject the bids. The Administrator noted that due to the timing to get to bid with this project, the plans and specifications are complete. He recommended that the council authorize advertisement for bids at this time. 4
