PUBLIC INPUT Brian Amundsen, 3048 Woodale Drive, referenced the proposed 2005 Street Projects stating that the project plans were flawed and the communication regarding the projects was poor. He expressed concerns that the broken processes and communications has now broken the community's trust because they did not comply with the City's Charter. He referenced Ordinance 723 stating that the ordinance is a result of policies adopted by City Council, which in turn provided Staff with the approval to prepare the Ordinances 654 and 723 from the Street Committee Policy. He stated that the intent of the ordinances was supposed to foster community involvement and protect the wetlands throughout the City. He called for the streets to meet current design standards stating that the 2003 and 2005 Street Projects did not follow the first step of the ordinance by presenting the cost of design and current costs prior to being approved. He stated that for the sake of both staff direction and fiduciary responsibility, the City Council should have directed Staff to present costs of the design prior to approving the project. He stated that the Council did not ask for any input from the Community nor was any direction given to Staff. He stated that the feasibility report exceeded the costs noting that the maximum allocation • allowed is $14.50 per foot. He stated that the cost total should have been $869.00 not $3,000.00.
