He briefly reviewed how utitily consideration is being viewed at this point. The 139 feasibility report would be prepared by the city’s consultant WSB Associates.

He 141 reviewed the possible schedule allowing construction as early as 2018. 142 143 Mayor Reinert asked if utility inclusion could be requested by petition and Mr. Grochala indicated 144 that is possible. The costs related to utilities will be included as an option in the feasibility study. 145 Mayor Reinert noted that the West Shadow Lake Drive streets are actually to the point of being 146 dangerous after a long history of considering but not moving forward with improvements; he sees the 147 path here should be more attractive to the residents and he is hopeful. 148 149 Council Member Kusterman noted that the city approved a five year plan that included these projects 150 but now additional approval is needed.
