MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 23, 2007 <br />City pays for the cost of storm sewer. He also noted that storm sewer <br />improvements vary from project to project based on need of the specific <br />area. <br />One property owner indicated that water from the pond along the freeway <br />fence is crossing the road and flowing onto the townhome property. The <br />City Engineer reported that run-off from the interstate is being piped into <br />that pond. He indicated that Viking Drive was crowned and a new Swale <br />constructed to control the water and keep it on the freeway side. <br />However, he indicated that he will look at the situation to see of additional <br />improvements are needed. <br />The Mayor acknowledged that the City has received a written objection to <br />the Viking Drive assessment from the Canadian Pacific Railway as well as <br />from Rick Thul, 165 Viking Drive. The City Administrator reported that <br />the Council should act on each of these objections. Options include <br />lowering the assessment or denying the objection. He noted that if the <br />objections are denied, the property owners rights are still preserved should <br />they chose to pursue the matter in District Corot. <br />There were no additional objections received <br />There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matter. <br />Upon motion by Keis, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed. <br />Ms. Allan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTIONNO. 2007-10-261-DENYING THE CANADIAN <br />PACIFIC RAILWAY OBJECTION TO THEIR ASSESSMENT FOR <br />IMPROVEMENT NO.2007-01 BASED ON THE CITY'S POSITION <br />THAT THE ASSESSMENT IS APPROPRIATE AND REFLECTIVE <br />OF BENEFITS RECEIVED FOR THIS PROPERTY <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Ayes (4). <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />With regard to the Rick Thul objection, the City Administrator pointed out <br />that the increase in the assessment was due to the County's <br />underestimation of the cost of the cold-in-place recycle. The <br />Administrator noted that the cost of this portion of the improvement is <br />being assessed at 50% with the City paying the other half. The <br />Administrator felt that the assessment was fair and reflective of the <br />benefits received for this property. He recommended that the Council <br />
