PUBLIC HEARING 6 <br /> 7 <br />2020 Street and Utility Improvement Project. 8 <br /> 9 <br />A. Resolution 20-036; a Resolution Ordering Improvements for the 2020 Street and Utility 10 <br />Improvements. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mayor Stille opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. 13 <br /> 14 <br />City Engineer Messner reviewed the resolution with the Council and asked that the resolution be 15 <br />approved. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Councilmember Randle stated speaking to the residents as a whole this is a surprisingly good 18 <br />deal and encouraged the residents to take advantage of it. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Councilmember Webster thanked Mr. Messner for a clear presentation, the scope and cost of the 21 <br />project, and outlining it for them and the public. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Mayor Stille indicated for clarification on the November 25, 2020 deadline to pay the 24 <br />assessments off.

Her main concern was with the 42 <br />range of price the residents were given increased substantially and she wondered why that 43 <br />change was made and how that impacted the overall cost. She also understood that if a resident 44 <br />wanted to pay this over time it would not start until May 2022, but she wondered if a resident 45 <br />wanted to pay the cost upfront why that payment date is not delayed by a year as well.
