86 April 28, 1980 Mayor Gourley noted, that since the road lies entirely within the right -of- way, why is it the City's responsibilty to move it. He felt this should be reconized by this City and if and when improvements are made, they should be on the South side of the road. There was discussion on the number of lots in the new plat that faces onto 77th street. It was determined there are only 9 lots facing onto this street. It was the general opinion of the Council that the Street will need some up- grading, the costs to be shared. Mr. McLean suggested that Mr. Volk discuss this matter with Mr. Locher when he plans the upgrading in order to bring this into a more proper alignment. This will have to be put in the capital improvement program for future con- sideration. Mr. Locher pointed out that this Council is not bound by previous Council's actions. Mr. McLean moved that 77th street be a priority item to be considered in the road improvement planning and the road within the right -of -way be looked at with the possibility of centering as previous Councils had attempted to do. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mr. Marier asked, that rather than considering this matter, he would request that some action be taken on this matter within a specific time. Mr. McLean told him this would be decided at budget time. Mayor Gourley called for the vote and the motion carried unanimously. The next item on Mr. Locher report was the matter of Mr. Jeffrey Kirschbaum. Mr. Kirschbaum has accepted the check for $500.00 as severance pay and has signed an agreement to tht effect. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the resignation of Mr. Jeffrey Kirschbaum. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Gourley asked for authorization to sign the agreement document. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to authorize Mayor Gourley's signature. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimous *. Mayor Gourley asked fot- the Engineer's Report on the status of the Black Duck project. Mr. Meisner reported that the project is on schedule. He also reported that Rice Creek Watershed Board is requesting a permit for the existing well and a permit for the culvert going under the street. Also, a permit application for the amoung of fill that has been put into some of the areas. Mayor Gourley asked if the Rice Creek Watershed Board can come in and make this sort of request after the fact and Mr. Locher said they feel they can. Mayor Gourley said the City has entered into a contract and issued bonds for the construction of this project- if some of the lots are not allowed fill, is the Rice Creek Watershed Board picking up the assessments on those lots? Mayor Gourley requested Mr. Schumacher to contact these people and open some negoiations to solve this matter.
