AGENDA ITEM 7J <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 28, 2002 <br />TOPIC: Resolution No. 02 -162, Receive Petition and Order Preparation of <br />a Feasibility Study for the Thomas Street Utility Improvements. <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City has received a petition from residents and property owners on Thomas <br />Street, west of 4th Avenue, for preparation of a report on sanitary sewer and <br />water service. A copy of the petition is attached. Sanitary sewer and water main <br />are close to the project area at the west side in the Behm's Century Farms <br />subdivision. <br />When the City has received utility petitions from neighborhoods in the past, the <br />first step has been to hold a neighborhood meeting before any formal study is <br />prepared. At the neighborhood meeting, we discuss the public improvement <br />process, the City Charter, the location of existing utilities, and an overview of the <br />construction process. The study would follow the neighborhood meeting. <br />The study will address, on a preliminary basis, design, cost, assessment, <br />schedule, and other issues as they relate to providing City utility service to this <br />area. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Return to staff for further review. <br />2. Adopt Resolution No. 01 -162, Receive Petition and Order Preparation of a <br />Feasibility Study for the Thomas Street Utility Improvements. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No. 2 - Staff recommends that Resolution No. 01 -162 be adopted. <br />• <br />
