B. Update on Hill Trail Open House The City En�ineer reported that on April 29 2003, the Council and the residents of Hill Trail and 50 Street met to review the status of this project. Design options and financing scenarios were discussed. The consensus was to reconstruct the street rather than perform a mill and overlay. Prew estimated that reconstruction of the road would take between to and a three months to finish. The Council and residents felt there was a need to revise the current assessment policy to include a policy for streets which received a total reconstruction rather than just an overlay. M/S/P Johnston/Dunn - to adopt 2003-042 to direct the staff to prepare a Feasibility Report for the Hill Trail and 501h Street Reconstruction Project. (Motion passed 5-0). Pat Dean said he appreciated the open house and suggested the City Engineer look into tying this project with unit pricing with Washington County. He referred to the history of the road drafted by Budd Talcott as to what is exactly is under Hill Trail. Dean felt residents should not be asked to pay for a full new road. If it was done properly in the 1960s, they would only need to overlay a 9 ton road and be assessed $1200. He asked the Council to think about this when they discuss the assessment plan. Mark Hubenette 8160 Hill Trail N, stated the road does need some work, but not a total reconstruction. He thought an assessment of $2500 was too much money. The Council asked staff to research how other cities assess for reconstruction projects so they would have a base for comparison. C.
