• MEMO March 6, 1998 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: March 9, 1998 City Council Meeting We have some real business to take care of Monday evening, so it should be a good meeting. Here is a summary: Item 5D and E-Setting Hearings for Noise Ordinance and Animal Ordinance: The settings of these two hearings pertain to the ordinance revisions the Chief of Police discussed with the Council at last Monday's work session. These hearings will be considered the first reading of these ordinance changes. Item 7A-Silverview Estates PUD Final Plat Resolution: Rick Jopke's report will reviews this item. Item 7B-Donatelles' Hearings and Actions: For those maybe not aware, Donatelles is selling to another restaurant. The actions under this item are meant to facilitate that sale. Bruce will review • the particulars Monday evening. Item 7C - 7:30 p.m. Public Hearing on Streets, Construction and Assessment Policies: Mike, Bruce and I will be working Monday in preparation for the hearing in the evening. Mike has enclosed the returned surveys from Council members on the options for our policies. Also,through my instruction, Barry Peters of SEH was asked to put some figures to different options stemming from the Spring Lake Road project. Mike,Bruce,Barry, Steve Campbell and myself of course will be present for discussion during the hearing. Since it is not entirely clear as to the purpose for this meeting, it may be best to state at the opening that the hearing is intended to engage residents of the community in a discussion as to their feelings on streets, assessments and affordability of a street replacement program. It may also be beneficial to state that no conclusion will occur because of the meeting, and none is intended until further deliberation on options occurs. This, it appears to me, will take us into the summer at best and probably should be cleared up before the 1999 budget gets set. As for the Council surveys,just to reiterate staff intentions behind doing this, it is thought that the survey questions may make it easier to sort out options which policies are based on, and then move towards looking at the possible impacts of changes those answers would suggest if policies were changes. It is complicated,but perhaps in this fashion a movement away from current policies could be pieced together. • Item D-Consideration of Signalization at Xylite and County Road J: Mike will report on this Monday evening.
