The following were present at roll call : O'Connor, Springer, Emond, Crouse Absent: Dougherty Motion by Councilman Emond and seconded by Councilman Crouse that the minutes of the regular meeting of April 9, 1968, be approved as submitted. Motion Carried. The Mayor declared that this was the time and the place, as advertised in the official Village Newspaper, for the holding of a public hearing on the improvement of 33rd Avenue M.E. from Stinson Boulevard to the west St. Anthony High School property line. The Village Manager, in the absence of the Village Engineer, reviewed the project costs and the construction procedures that had been set forth. Mr. Gottwalt, 2920 - 33rd Avenue, asked if the St. Anthony School District was liable for assessment and was informed that they were. Mrs. Paquay, Edwards St., asked why the side streets were included in the assessment. It was explained that the Village policy provided for a 1/3 assessment on those streets adjacent to a collector street such as 33rd Avenue N.E. Mr. James McNulty inquired as to the curb cut for his driveway. It was explained that the crown of the road had been warped so that the North side was 8" higher than the south side to accomodate for driveways. Mr. Clarence Albrecht asked if his property would be assessed on a 1/3 basis and he was informed that because his property faced Roosevelt Court, that he would only be liable for a 1/3 assessment. Mr. McNulty suggested that the Council not proceed with the entire project if the bids were considerably higher than the estimates. Mr. Arnold Carlson inquired as to where the East and West portion of the improvement divided. He was informed that the West portion was 1350' East of Stinson Boulevard. Mr. McNulty asked what the County participation in storm sewer construction would include and was informed that they would participate in the cost of 6% of the Belden Drive portion of the storm sewer. Mr. Gottwalt also expressed concern on bids being accepted that reflected higher costs than the estimates. There being no further questions the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
