Item No. 3A Meeting Date: August 6, 2007 Type of Business: WK WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Street and Utility Project for 2008 – Consider Authorizing Preparation of an Updated Feasibility Report Background: Prior to the City Council Work Session on August 6, 2007, the Streets and Utilities Task Force will be asked if they would want to consider recommending that the City Council initiate the Street and Utility Improvement Program in 2008 by scheduling a reconstruction project for a selected portion of the City. Discussion: Staff recognizes that this recommendation may be somewhat beyond the scope and purpose of the Streets and Utilities Task Force and more in line with the authority of the City Council. However, it is a necessary issue that would need to be addressed before the Streets and Utilities Task Force can develop a recommended overall Street and Utility Program. Given this, the City Council may want discuss this issue. Should the City Council wish to implement a project in 2008, Staff will present a resolution on August 13, 2007 to update the feasibility report of the portion of the City that is selected by the City Council. To implement a construction project for 2008 authorizations to proceed must be made shortly. A schedule for the development of a Street and Utility Program and a schedule for a 2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project have been drafted (see attachments). It should be pointed out that the Public Hearing for the Street and Utility Program is scheduled for October 22, 2007 and the Public Hearing and ordering of a 2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project would occur later, on November 13, 2007.
