Sunset Road Six Northerly Lots - Mr. Stallberg noted that there has not been a decision as to what services will be installed in this area and the costs.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS Mr. Hawkins did not have a report. CONSIDERATION OF 4TH AVENUE EMINENT DOMAIN APPRAISAL PAYMENTS Mr. Hawkins explained the City will be taking possession of the par- cels taken by eminent domain on September 25, 1986. However, the state law mandates that the City pay for these parcels according to the appraisal prepared by the City appraiser prior to that date. He is requesting authorization to make the payments to the landowners. There is a possibility that some landowners will not accept the amounts set by the appraiser and further court hearings will be neces- sary to complete the litigations. Mr. Marier moved to authorize the payments as requested by Mr. Haw- kins. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier told the Council he had received questions regarding the method used by the appriaser to determine payment and also questions about the ability of each individual parcel to be divided after further easements are taken. CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING SEAL COATING BIDS FOR 1986 ROAD PAVING Mr. Volk advertised for bids for the 1986 seal coat program and had received one bid.

Mr. Volk was asked why the bid was advertised so late in the year. Mr. Volk explained that the flooding problems and the bad weather during the overlay program has delayed all other projects. 015
