City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 22, 2025 Page 4 1 Mr. Bill Wysocki, 2500 West Armour Terrace, asked about the quality of the pavement. Ten 2 years ago, the street was torn up and replaced and now we are going through this again. He 3 questioned if the lifespan of the pavement is ten years. 4 5 Ms. Roberta Groening, Armour Terrace West spoke from the audience, not at the podium, and 6 asked about her driveway. 7 8 Mr. Cody Johnson, Armour Terrace West, spoke from the audience, not at the podium, and asked 9 about vehicles parking on the street. 10 11 Ms. Koscielak stated all the roads identified for mill and overlay are at least 20 years old. Many 12 of the roads were either constructed in 1999 or 2001. The characteristics of the driveway that 13 need reconstruction are attempted to be matched. The standard is a 6-inch driveway with 6 14 inches of Class 5 under it. They try to repair curbs that may have been damaged by snowplows. 15 16 City Engineer Justin Messner stated West Armour Terrace was reconstructed in the early 2000s. 17 18 Another resident (name not recorde) spoke from the audience and said the City has been working 19 with US Internet about the turf damage that was created. There is a new permit for utility 20 companies coming into the City. 21 22 Councilmember Elnagdy stated she received comments from neighbors on 34th. Cracks have 23 already appeared, and they asked what could be done. She also asked if payment in full for 24 assessments can be paid now. Mr. Messner stated that the crack goes through the entire thickness 25 of the pavement. The crack is there because it is a flexible pavement, and it is called reflective 26 thermo-cracking. Public Works fills in the cracks with tar material. Payments for assessments 27 can be paid in full until November 14, 2025, which will remove it from the property taxes. 28 29 Councilmember Randle stated US Internet really wrecked our City. He hopes the escrow for 30 contractors coming into City will make them respond to the City’s needs. 31 32 Councilmember Doolan asked about assessments and if the option to defer for seniors is still 33 available. Mr. Messner stated that option is available to seniors or active military or disabled. 34 She asked about the crossing that will be created, and will it happen before school starts next 35 year. Mr. Messner stated it will be done before school starts but the contractor has not been 36 selected yet for that part of the project. Councilmember Doolan asked about Central Park and 37 hoped Staff is aware of scheduled activities in Central Park. Ms. Koscielak stated that work 38 cannot start until October after the sports seasons are finished. Councilmember Doolan asked if 39 park entrances will be closed while the construction is being done, and Ms. Koscielak stated the 40 rest of the park can be used and the facilities will remain open. 41 42 Councilmember Elnagdy asked if the basketball court at Central Park could be included in the 43 project. Ms. Koscielak stated that it could be put into the plan. The splash pad needs repair and 44 could be included in the plan. City Manager Yunker stated the other issue is the accessible 45 parking at the pavilion, which is up the hill and is not compliant. The parking should be moved 46 closer to the pavilion in the location of the basketball court. 6
