Feasibility studies were received June 11, 2007 for both projects. Neighborhood meetings were held separately for the Shenandoah Area and West Shadow Lake Drive on June 28, 2007. On July 9, 2007 the City Council held public hearings for both projects. In accordance with City Charter requirements 60 days must elapse from the date of the public hearings, prior to further action by the City Council. The 60 day period ends on September 6, 2007. During the 60 day period the City received a petition against the proposed improvements from a majority of property owners from the Shenandoah Area (Council Agenda Item 6Aii). No petitions satisfying the Charter requirements were received for the West Shadow Lake Drive Area. In accordance with Charter requirements the next step in the process is to call for an election on the proposed improvements. Due to the petitioning process only the West Shadow Lake Drive Area project will be included on the ballot. The Charter requires that the election be held within 120 days of the date of the public hearing. To maintain communication regarding the 2009 Street Reconstruction Project ballot question with the affected residents and residents throughout the City the following communication plan will be implemented. — City staff will send out an informational brochure in mid October of 2007 (see attached example of the last Street Reconstruction brochure) — Two informational press releases published in the Quad, The Citizen and the Pioneer Press in the fall of 2007.
