To Approve Resolution 6042, a Resolution Approving the 1 <br />Preliminary County Road H Sidewalk Feasibility Report and Ordering the Improvement Project 2 <br />with a Six and a Half Foot Wide Concrete Path and Utilizing TIF Funds. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Mayor Linke apologized for getting worked up about the sidewalk safety issue but said he 5 <br />predicted the Highway 10 tragedy and he does not want to see it happen again. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Quick indicated he would prefer concrete unless blacktop works better in other 8 <br />areas. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Council Member Stigney asked how wide the sidewalk on Long Lake Road is. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated it is seven feet wide. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Council Member Stigney asked how wide the County path would be. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated it has been the County’s procedure to require an eight-foot 17 <br />wide path. 18 <br /> 19 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Amend the Motion on the Floor to Bituminous and 20 <br />Limit the Sidewalk to from Silver Lake Road West to the City Limits with it Being Six and a 21 <br />Half Feet Wide. 22 <br /> 23 <br /> Ayes – 2(Marty/Stigney) Nays – 3 Motion failed. 24 <br /> 25 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Amend the Motion on the Floor to Bituminous Rather 26 <br />than Concrete and That the Width be Six and a Half Feet. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Council Member Marty asked how long the bituminous would last. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicate the life expectancy for bituminous is 15 to 25 years and with 31 <br />concrete it is 40 to 50 years. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council Member Marty commented that the money spent now is more but it would require less 34 <br />upkeep and last longer than the bituminous. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Council Member Stigney commented that it is much more expensive to put in concrete and, as 37 <br />long as we are discussing money, he sees no reason that the City could not use TIF funds in the 38 <br />future to pay for the sidewalk rather than telling residents if it is not done now they will have to 39 <br />pay for it. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Mayor Linke commented that, if the County puts the sidewalk in, then the residents would be 42 <br />assessed. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Council Member Quick indicated the amount is assessed to the property owners by the County. 45
