-9- drainage was needed because past efforts to correct the problem had not been successful . Mrs. Bochnak was told staff was certainly hoping the project could be undertaken sooner than eight years but were uncertain just how a project of that size could be financed since all the property owners up to 36th Avenue N.E. had already been assessed for the first project. Mayor Sundland explained the procedure which would be followed if the project were approved that evening. He said bids would be sought and presented to the property owners during an assessment hearing similar to the one held March 25th with the same notification process followed. Mr. Childs added that since the City's Assessment Policy dictates that the St. Anthony Boulevard property owners would only have to pay the same assessment homeowners on all City residential streets, whether they are MSA funded or not, have to pay, there would be no change in the $10.50 per linear foot the abutting property owners on the Boulevard would have to pay no matter what the total project cost might be. A further clarification of the 10% discount which the City would be offering for prepayment of the assessments followed, after which the meeting was recessed for a 15 minute informal discussion with the residents at 9:15 P.M. When Mayor Sundland reconvened the meeting at 9:30 P.M. , he indicated he perceived the time had come to take the first steps towards getting the project started, Motion by Councilmember Makowske and seconded by Councilmember Marks to adopt Resolution 86,-018 which would authorize the preparation of final plans and specifi- cations for the reconstruction of St. Anthony Boulevard to a 32 foot width (with MSA funding). RESOLUTION 86-018 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ST. ANTHONY BOULEVARD FROM SILVER LAKE ROAD TO STINSON AND ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE STREET TO A THTRTY-TWO C32). FOOT WIDTH Motion carried unanimously. The Mayor commented that he perceived the two meetings on this project had been the most productive he had been involved in for a good many years. and he foresaw: that-the final decision reached that evening would allow the Council to initiate a program to maintain the infrastructure in that part of the City. He reiterated that all pro- perty owners would be notified when the assessment hearing is to be held. The Manager estimated it would take the engineers about six weeks to prepare the plans and another six weeks to clear them with the Department of Transportation which would mean the project could be started about the middle of June or first part of July. Mr. Childs estimated it would take about' 45 days to construct the project which would mean completion about the first of September. Motion by Councilmeniber Ranallo and seconded by Councilmember Marks to adjourn the meeting at 9:48 P.M. Motion carried unanimously.
