1 1 1 0193 COUNCIL MEETING November 25, 1985 Page Three Mayor Benson asked when the road will be completed. Mr. Bruggeman said it will be done the first thing in the spring. Mr. Reinert asked what Mr. Bruggeman's understanding of a letter of credit is. Mr. Bruggeman said it was to assure that the money will be there when the improvement is completed. Mr. Reinert said it is the concern of the residents that the street will be constructed before the letter of credit expires. Mr. Bruggeman said that when the road was rough graded not one lot had been sold and did not anticipate the need to complete it. He felt a large number of the lots should be developed prior to the road being blacktopped. Mr. Reinert told Mr. Bruggeman the City did not know what his inten- tions were and the City was expecting the road to be completed prior to the expiration of the letter of credit. Mr. Bruggeman said he had contacted Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Schumacher regarding extending the let- ter of credit and did not feel it would be a problem. He said he wanted to cooperate with the City. Mr. Bruggeman said he would have the street completed by June 30, 1985 including drainage and other City requirements. The City Engineer and Public Works Director had asked Mr. Bruggeman to complete his drainage construction this fall. Mr. Bruggeman said that it has been started and will continue as long as the weather allows. It may not be fin- ished until next spring. Mr. Volk said the major problems with the new road occurred in the spring of 1985. His concern is that the road is kept passable this coming spring. Mr. Bruggeman said that he feels it will be a good road because it has been allowed to sit and the trouble spots have been replaced. Mayor Benson asked about the gas situation. Mr. Bruggeman said North Central will be placing the gas services and in the interim North Central will supply propane gas and charge natural gas rates. North Central has not said when the lines will be installed and have not requested a deposit from him. Mr. Quigley from North Central said no deposit has been requested from Mr. Bruggeman and since there is not a good route to the area it will be from two to three years before the lines will be constructed. Mayor Benson noted that North Central has not made application for installation of these lines. Mr. Quigley said this would be done prior to installation. Mr. Bruggeman stated the road would be com- pleted in the spring even if the gas lines are not in place. Mr. Marier noted that the Council has not decided which gas company will service this area. Mr. Quigley said this would be up to the Council, each gas company has equal access.
