He proposed holding the assessment hearing and then going to item l OD, which is to look at awarding the contract for the 2003 Street Improvement Project, and then coming back to adopting the assessment levy. He stated whether some of the items are awarded or not will affect the assessment amounts, and so they need to award the contract before they approve the adoption of the assessment levy. Public Works Director Lee stated the 2003 Street Improvement Project calls for upgrade of the streets that lie generally south of County Road 10 and north of County Road H2, and west of Long Lake Road. He stated Lake Court Drive & Circle was originally part of the project, but they were deleted since they had some issues with those private streets being converted over to public streets. Public Works Director Lee stated that the project as proposed calls for total reconstruction of the streets west of Silver Lake Road, and the streets will be adjusted to 28 feet in width. He stated the streets east of Silver Lake Road, since they already have concrete curb and gutter, would have upgraded bituminous surface, some minor replacement of the curb and gutter, and replacement and upgrade of the infrastructure. He stated sanitary sewer improvements that were necessary would be part of the 2003 Street Improvement Project. • Public Works Director Lee stated bids were received for a proposed sidewalk on the west side of Groveland from County Road I to County Road 10, and bids were also open for the parking lot at the Lakeside Lions Park. He stated the estimated total cost for the project is $2,178,000, of which $557,000 would be assessed. He stated Spring Lake Park would pay for their portion of the project, and also Municipal State Aid would be paying for a portion of it. He stated Mounds View Special Project funds would be used depending on whether or not the City Council awards the contract for Lakeside Lions Park. Public Works Director Lee stated on Apri122 the City received five bids for the project, and that the low bidder was Hard Drives, Inc. at $1,574,000. He stated Alternate No. 1 for the Groveland sidewalk was $40,234, and Alternate No. 2 for Lakeside Lions parking lot is a little under $100,000. He stated the base bid came in 8.8 percent less than the engineer's estimate for this project. He stated assuming the City adopts the assessment levy for this project, payments would be due with interest up until October 31St of this year. He stated the assessments period would be certified to the county, and residents would have a period often years to pay those assessments at an interest rate of 5 percent. Public Works Director Lee stated there was a neighborhood reconstruction meeting on June 3ra He stated the meeting is on tape and it's also being re-broadcasted on cable. He stated there is also a preconstruction meeting on June 21St. He stated that at that time they'll be meeting with • the contractor and getting a lot more information on the project in terms of start dates and the general plan from Hard Drives.

He stated they anticipate a June 22"d construction start date. He stated he didn't anticipate them starting to rip up the streets until after July 4~'.

Mayor Linke opened the public hearing. Lisa Sunde, 7850 Groveland Road, stated she didn't want a sidewalk and couldn't afford a sidewalk, and stated a petition had been signed by all the residents on Groveland stating they were against the sidewalk. Mayor Linke stated the sidewalk would be part of the City's trail system. Council Member Marty stated the city streets are falling apart because the homeowners had previously voted not to do anything, and unless some action is taken, the whole city is going to look run down. He stated they had to make some hard decisions for the betterment of the entire city. • Heidi Neumann, 7770 Groveland Road, stated she disagreed with building the sidewalk on Groveland because of safety issues with children potentially crossing the highway at the end of the sidewalk and because the City has not defined how the additional maintenance costs for the sidewalk would be budgeted. Public Works Director Lee stated it would cost approximately $320 annually for maintenance of the sidewalk. He stated they would take every step available to try to prevent pedestrians from crossing the highway. Council Member Marty stated he was concerned that children would cross Highway 10 at the end of Groveland if a sidewalk were put in, and he stated that it would be better to continue the Silver Lake Road sidewalk/trailway at this time to get people to a controlled intersection. Council Member Quick stated you can't stop people from walking where they want to walk, and he didn't feel putting the sidewalk in would really affect the amount of traffic crossing Highway 10 at that point. There was a general discussion about the Groveland sidewalk, and Mayor Linke stated it would be cheaper to put the sidewalk in while the construction people are in the area already. Ms. Neumann again stated the safety concerns. • Mounds View City Council June 14, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 8 • Rick Wyatt, 7515 Knollwood Drive, stated his opinion that the sidewalk is not necessary.

He stated the Council is being asked whether to move ahead and do these items at this time or wait, and staff is recommending moving forward to get bids, and then bringing it back for Council action. Council Member Many asked whether Public Works could refinish the dance floor. City Clerk/Administrator Ulrich stated he would have to check on that. Mayor Linke stated it takes a lot of expertise to refinish a wood floor because it could be easily destroyed. Cindy Weingardner, from the Mermaid, stated the gymnasium floor is being resurfaced this summer, so perhaps the dance floor could be done at the same time for perhaps less money. She commented on the poor condition of the carpet. Mayor Linke stated the carpet needed to be replaced about four years ago. MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Many.
