Council Meeting January 10, 1983 287 recommendations of the Clerk to have a new system installed in the offices to include two additional extensions from Northwestern, Bell. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Motion carried with Mr. Marier abstaining. ATTORNEY's REPORT Mr. Hawkins reported that he had received a question as to the plowing of driveways for the elderly and in his opinion this would be an illegal expenditure of City funds. He asked if the Public Works Dept. had a policy on this matter. It was generally followed that the streets to i11 persons have a priority but not the private driveways. In the event of an emergency, this would be a judgement by the Police Department. CABLE TV - PUBLIC HEARING - CONTINUED This continued public hearing was called to order at 7:31 P.M. Mayor Benson asked for comments from the audience. There were none. Mayor Benson asked Mrs. Elsenpeter when work would start in the City and Mrs. Elsenpeter said, that if the franchise was approved this week, it would probably be two years before any work is done. Mayor Benson closed the Public Hearing at 7:37 P.M. ENGINEER's REPORT Mr. John Davidson reported on the sewer system for the Baldwin Lake Court. The owner had requested that this system be put in as a City system and assessed as such. Mr. Howard had also requested that the SAC be a part of the bond issue and assessed as part of the overall assessment. Mr. Davidson had completed a feasibility report on the installation of this system and reported to the Council that by installing the line 8 feet deeper at the lift station, this line could serve, by gravity lands to the North of the Home Court. This additional depth would cost approximately $6000.00 and would be the responsibility of the City. Or it could be assessed to the properties to the North that would be benefitted by this extra depth. This extra depth would also make it possible to serve some lands to the South in the future. The various aspects of this system were discussed to include the suggested areas of assessments or deferments. Mr. Reinert wondered if the advantage of having the City prepare a bond issue for this project would not outweigh the extra costs for the additional depth of the line. This is something that could be discussed. Mr. Reinert moved to hold a public hearing on this matter. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reinert moved to accept the feasibility report and set the Public Hearing for February 28, 1983 at 7:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. M.S.A. Requirements and Resolutions Mr. Davidson presented several Resolutions that must be adopted in connection with the State Aid Program. He explained these documents and the agreements. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to waive the reading of these Resolutions. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to adopt Resolution 483 -1. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Motion carried unanimously.
