COUNCIL MINUTES June 12, 2017 DRAFT 4 He introduced bond counsel from Kennedy and Graven available to answer questions. 136 137 Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing. 138 139 Charles Puskas, 6994 West Shadow Lake Drive, noted that he has read the feasibility study. He 140 noted language in that study that suggests sewer connection could be considered. Community 141 Development Director Grochala remarked that the city has explored the possibility of extending sewer 142 services, there is a trunk main in place on the north end of the project, and he would suggest it would 143 be a wise decision, however, consideration tonight is only for a street and storm water project. Going 144 forward, there will be a review of other improvements and evaluation of sewer and water extension. 145 146 Mayor Reinert recalled past street improvement discussions with neighborhoods where the residents 147 were found to be happy with their well water. It’s been more successful to split the type of projects 148 and let people decide on the improvements that best fit their situation. West Shadow Lake Drive has 149 been the subject of discussion for many years and the roadway is in very poor shape and he feels it is 150 irresponsible for the city to not fix the roadway. Having the roadway dug up could create a great 151 opportunity for residents on the street to get their sewer and water improvements done; that is a 152 decision that will be considered by the residents. 153 154 There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:07 p.m. 155 156 Community Development Director Grochala explained the process going forward, if a valid petition 157 is not received, including further development of a project study and development of plans and 158 specifications. This would be a design engineering process but also ongoing discussion process with 159 the neighborhood and impacted property such as the golf course. The first actions that residents will 160 see will be surveyors collecting data, well and septic locating, and establishment of neighborhood 161 meetings to keep people up to date in late August or early September. 162 163 Staff discussed with Council Member Rafferty the process foreseen on consideration of sewer 164 improvements – there will be additional data gathered and presented to the residents and decisions 165 made at that level. The neighborhood will have much opportunity for input to the process. 166 167 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve Resolution No. 17-54 as presented. Council Member 168 Manthey seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 169 170 6B) Lino Lakes Elementary School Renovation 171 i.

It is a city standard that a project 178 of this type include the agreements being presented to the council.
