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

Her main concern was with the <br />43 range of price the residents were given increased substantially and she wondered why that <br />44 change was made and how that impacted the overall cost. She also understood that if a resident <br />45 wanted to pay this over time it would not start until May 2022, but she wondered if a resident <br />46 wanted to pay the cost upfront why that payment date is not delayed by a year as well.
