Mounds View City Council February 10, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 10 Council Member Stigney indicated he thought it was redundant to send them out for disposal if they will be destroyed in house. Ayes - 4 Nays -1(Stigney) Motion carried. 8. COUNCIL BUSINESS A. 2003 Street Improvement Project Issues Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff recommends an assessment policy to assign a portion of the project costs to the benefited properties based on the total project costs and not a fixed dollar amount. He then indicated this could be included in the feasibility report to make comparisons. Council Member Marty indicated he thought it was a good idea as there have been issues in the past and the less people are directly assessed the less of an issue they have with what goes out in front of their house. Public Works Director Lee indicated the feasibility study would include a mock assessment roll with a list of the properties and the proposed assessment. Council Member Quick asked when the information would be provided to Council. Public Works Director Lee indicated he hopes to provide the information to Council in March. Public Works Director Lee indicated Staff is looking for direction on the street standard and recommends a 28-foot wide street. There was Council consensus to use a 28-foot street standard. Public Works Director Lee indicated the issue of whether to use concrete curb and gutter or bituminous would be addressed. Public Works Director Lee indicated the final issue is the introduction of storm water into the City's sewer system and Staff is recommending an amendment to the Ordinance to ensure there are no unlawful discharges. Mayor Linke indicated the report stated that in 2002 the City experienced a 30 % increase. He then asked if there was a 30% increase in precipitation from 2001 to 2002. Public Works Director Lee indicated he was not sure but said it was a very wet year. Council Member Marty suggested that the language allowing residents to funiish a certificate of compliance should be removed to avoid a potential loop hole.
