• • July 12, 2000 To: Twilight Acres lst and 2nd Addition Area Residents Re: Project Update and Resident Poll Dear Resident: On June 26, 2000, the City Council held a public hearing for this project. After receiving public comment, consideration of the resolution adopting the assessment was postponed. An update was presented to the City Council on July 10, 2000 that included the following information: • After discussing this matter with the contractor submitting the lowest bid, C. W. Houle, they have agreed to honor their bid even if the City delays the contract award until August 28, 2000. C.W. Houle would need to begin construction by September 8, 2000, in order to complete the improvements, through the bituminous paving, this year. The restoration of the boulevard areas and driveways would likely carry over until spring of 2001. • The City Attorney indicated that he has had further discussions with an appraiser. The appraiser indicated they would have appraisals for two or three lots completed in time for the July 24, 2000, City Council meeting. He also indicated the appraiser will only have time to prepare an abbreviated report but will give the City Council and residents an estimate of the property value change due to the proposed project. The City Council has also directed City staff to send out a survey to poll the affected property owners regarding the project proceeding. Please complete the attached poll form and return it to the City at your earliest convenience. We would appreciate receiving your response no later than Tuesday, July 18, 2000. The City Council will again consider action on the proposed assessments at their July 24, 2000, meeting. City staff will present the results of the poll and the appraisal information at that meeting. If you have any questions before the meeting, please call me at 651- 982 -2430.
