Consideration of Resolution No. 5592, Setting a Public Hearing for County Road H2 Reconstruction Project Public Works Director Ulrich stated there have been concerns regarding street parking during reconstruction of County Road H2. At a recent meeting, people were asked to take a response card, fil l it out and return it to the City. There was no deadline on the card so it is difficult to determine when the responses will come back. Mr. Ulrich said he expected some cards will be returned at the public hearing. There has been mostly positive response so far of the comments made. Council Member Marty brought up the assessment policy. Director Ulrich stated the residents are assessed by the foot. Mayor Sonterre stated some residents felt that because apartments had a higher population, they shoul d be charged more per foot. Director Ulrich responded there is a section in the assessment policy that specifically addresses that situation. Council Member Marty questioned whether this will this include a sidewalk or pathway. Director Ulrich responded there is an eight -foot bituminous trail proposed. Preliminary plans will be presented at the September 4 work session. The public hearing will take into account public comments. He further explained there is a 60-day waiting period in which any resident can solicit signatures. Mayor Sonterre commented this is a resolution that would set a public hearing for September 10 at 7:05 at City Hall. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Approve Resolution 5592 and Waive the Reading.

Consideration of Resolution No. 5595, Approving a Public Hearing for Mounds View Drive Resurfacing Project Public Works Director Michael Ulrich stated mailings would be sent to all affected property owners in the resurfacing project of Mounds Vi ew Drive. A public hearing will be set August 27 and this item will go to the City Council the second week in November. Director Ulrich stated that paving cannot be done past the first part of November and therefore, it may be beneficial to extend the guidelines and not pave until the first part of Spring. However, one consideration to paving in the spring is the freeze and thaw cycle and how that affects the roads. Also, the cost could rise two to three times higher in the spring.
