LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 10 Bohrer explained that much of the maintenance the city will be doing this year will be under contract and paying for a lot of it with our state aid maintenance money. $2.5,000 have been budgeted as part of the maintenance budget for patch and overlay for this year. There was also a few thousand dollars carried over from last year. Bohrer suggested if the cost does exceed the estimate that was put together for the Public Hearing and would cause the assessment to go over, a few thousand dollars could be used from the patch and overlay fund. Councilman Williams would be in favor of covering the overage with the budgeted patch and overlay fund. Councilman Graves asked why the increase in the bid and did not want it viewed as a precedent that the city will take care of any money difference. Graves also had a concern with allocating funds from the general maintenance portion of the budget because he wants to make sure they can take care of the rest of the city out of that fund. Bohrer responded that 33rd St. is unique in where we have only one side with houses that can be assessed and every lot is a corner lot. It was difficult to come up with an assessment formula that was fair. Prior to the next meeting, the Maintenance Foreman and City Engineer will formulate all the road needs in the City. His intention is not to cut any portion short. D.
