• -7- which would. - be encountered with a street that wide in that particular , area. Mr .. Childs reported staff . had met with. the Minneapolis Park Board and had gotten them to agree to give the City- a permanent five foot easement and a temporary 10 foot easement during . construction period.-. He said the Board representatives. understood fully that. they could no longer use any . of the Boulevard for parking and that any of the golfers who did would . be tagged by City police. The Manager said the Park Board staff had been. amazingiy cooperative about get.ting. ..the road done, .but., of course,. their enthusiasm did not include any monetary aid. . Mr . Childs said although the previous Sunset Memorial Cemetery . owners - had indicated they would not oppose their . .assessments for. the project, .the ownership. had changed and the new . out-of-state owners would have to be contacted to see if they felt the same way. Because of the time .invo.lved in making this contact, holding assessment hearings if they oppose the assessments , and getting a variance from the state, the Manager said he doubted the project could be completed within this year ' s construction season. However, if the City is able to proceed with a less expensive, 32 foot street next year when there would be another MSA allotment available for the project, Mr. Childs said he expected the City would probably have enough MSA monies to.. accomplish the proj.ect without borrowing. And, he said, because he perceived this would be a comparative*ly. .easy project, .it should be able to be completed within the 1988 construction season.: Council Action Motion by Marks, seconded- by Sundland to adopt Resolution 87-011 .
