39 Hankee explained the bid process, results and funding plans. She added that the cost of
40 looping the pipe system has been determined and that would exceed the assessment
41 amount currently allowed. Further council consideration (i.e. provision of city funding)
42 would be appropriate. Staff is proposing with this action to declare a public hearing that
43 would be held on September 24, 2018. The council will have the opportunity to discuss
44 this in detail at the September work session.
