Resolution 6786 Approving the Preliminary Feasibility Report, Waiving Public Improvement Hearing, Holding a Public Informational Meeting, Ordering the Project, and Authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Hidden Hollow South Street and Utility Installation Project. Director of Public Works Lee explained this is for utility extensions for six lots on Hidden Hollow South Street. He stated the estimated cost of the improvement is $150,000, and all costs will be borne by the developer except for the trail extension, which is $4,200 that will be assigned to the City's water and sanitary sewer budget. Mayor Marty asked what the purpose is of having a public information hearing after the project has already been ordered. Director of Public Works Lee stated public input is usually received on the same night that the City Council takes action on an item. Councilmember Thomas stated lots of input has already been received from the neighborhood, and the sooner the problems are fixed, the better. She stated the City should go ahead with this, as the neighbors are well aware of the issue and they want to see it happen. • MOTION/SECOND: STIGNEY/THOMAS.
