Although the lots are large, there is not sufficient upland area to build a mound system on one of the lots. The residents have asked the City Council to consider extending sanitary sewer service across the lot of one property owner from Apollo Drive.

CONSIDER CHARTER COMMISSION SUB -COMMITTEE REPORT ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION, DON DUNN Mr. Dunn and Mr. Alvin DeMotts, another Charter Committee member, have held four (4) meetings with their sub -committee to research methods of developing a road reconstruction fund. The League of Cities legal consul has reviewed the City Charter and PAGE 4 • COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 4, 1997 • finds that there is nothing in the Charter that prohibits reconstruction of City roads. However, the Charter does not provide a funding mechanism for these projects. • The Charter Commission sub -committee is recommending that the City Engineer prepare a list of streets that need reconstruction and prioritize the list. The City Council will order the improvement of the first street on the project list to be funded by a combination of assessments to the benefited property owners and funding by the City. Once the project is ordered, the project will be placed on the November municipal election ballot for consideration by the voters of the City. If the voters approve the road improvement, the project will be constructed in 1998. If the voters reject the project, the Charter Commission will consider other methods of funding road reconstruction projects. Council expressed support of this proposal.
