Charter Commission October 14, 1999 Page 2 2002 $1,550,000 2003 $2,500,000 2004 $2,370,000 Mr. Powell referred to a map showing the next phases of road reconstruction projects. He advised that before initiating a Feasibility Study for the next reconstruction project, several issues should be considered, including but not limited to, the following: 1. Results of the Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction project. 2. A detailed update of the 1996 cost information should be prepared and projected to the year 2010. 3. Whether we should have a ballot question for multiple projects in a single year or have a separate ballot question each year. 4. Any alterations to the public information process. Commissioner Dunn stated the Lakes Addition project was very positive. Traffic was well controlled and clean up was good. There were, however, some elevation problems. The overlay portion of the project could have been handled better. Traffic control and adherence to speed limits was difficult to enforce. He suggested the boundary be larger for informing residents of the work and danger. Commissioner Bening stated that the way the project was done water should not be a problem. There used to be lower elevation spots where water came in from the lake. Acting Chair Sullivan asked if the Phase III residents want a road reconstruction project. Mr. Powell advised he has received many calls from those residents regarding City sewer and water. The challenge in that area is there are larger lots and a lot of front footage to get to the lots. The best chance of getting City sewer and water in this area is a road reconstruction project. It is planned for 2001. Commissioner Bening asked about the water flow from the lake relating to West Shadow Lake Drive. Mr. Powell advised a heavier culvert may be used. Commissioner Bening asked if there have been any discussions with the County regarding an emergency road connection on Aqua Lane. Mr. Powell advised the City will discuss that with the County. He indicated he is not optimistic about those discussions and the City cannot rely on the County for funding. Commissioner Trehus asked if there was dialog with the County when they took that road out. Mr. Powell stated the City did not have a lot of input on that issue. It was the County's decision 2
