• • CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala MEETING DATE: June 25, 2012 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 12 -58, Ordering Improvement, Otter Lake Road Extension VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority INTRODUCTION The public hearing for the Otter Lake Road improvement project was held on February 13, 2012. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, requires that a resolution ordering the improvement be adopted by the City Council within 6 months of the date of the public hearing. Alternatively, the Council would need to restart the public improvement process including repetition of the notice and hearing requirements. Staff is requesting council action to order the improvement for procedural purposes. BACKGROUND On May 23, 2011 the City Council authorized preparation of a feasibility study for the proposed improvements. The study was received by the Council on January 9, 2012. A public hearing on the proposed improvements was held on February 13, 2012. The Council took action at the February 27, 2012 meeting to authorize the preparation of a special benefit study and land acquisition appraisals. On March 12, 2012 the Council approved Resolution No. 12 -27 authorizing preparation of plans and specifications. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 12 -58 Ordering the Improvement. Approval of the resolution does not commit the City to constructing the project. The Council will still need to take action to approve plans and specifications, order advertisement for bids, award a contract and acquire property before the project could commence. At any point in this process the Council may determine to terminate the project. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 12 -58
