Mr. Cody Johnson, Armour Terrace West, spoke from the audience, not at the podium, and asked about vehicles parking on the street. Ms. Koscielak stated all the roads identified for mill and overlay are at least 20 years old. Many of the roads were either constructed in 1999 or 2001. The characteristics of the driveway that need reconstruction are attempted to be matched. The standard is a 6-inch driveway with 6 inches of Class 5 under it. They try to repair curbs that may have been damaged by snowplows. City Engineer Justin Messner stated West Armour Terrace was reconstructed in the early 2000s. Another resident (name not recorde) spoke from the audience and said the City has been working with US Internet about the turf damage that was created. There is a new permit for utility companies coming into the City. Councilmember Elnagdy stated she received comments from neighbors on 34. Cracks have already appeared, and they asked what could be done. She also asked if payment in full for assessments can be paid now. Mr. Messner stated that the crack goes through the entire thickness of the pavement. The crack is there because it is a flexible pavement, and it is called reflective thermo-cracking. Public Works fills in the cracks with tar material. Payments for assessments can be paid in full until November 14, 2025, which will remove it from the property taxes. Councilmember Randle stated US Internet really wrecked our City. He hopes the escrow for contractors coming into City will make them respond to the City's needs. Councilmember Doolan asked about assessments and if the option to defer for seniors is still available. Mr. Messner stated that option is available to seniors or active military or disabled. She asked about the crossing that will be created, and will it happen before school starts next year. Mr. Messner stated it will be done before school starts but the contractor has not been selected yet for that part of the project. Councilmember Doolan asked about Central Park and hoped Staff is aware of scheduled activities in Central Park. Ms. Koscielak stated that work cannot start until October after the sports seasons are finished. Councilmember Doolan asked if park entrances will be closed while the construction is being done, and Ms. Koscielak stated the rest of the park can be used and the facilities will remain open. Councilmember Elnagdy asked if the basketball court at Central Park could be included in the project. Ms. Koscielak stated that it could be put into the plan. The splash pad needs repair and could be included in the plan. City Manager Yunker stated the other issue is the accessible parking at the pavilion, which is up the hill and is not compliant. The parking should be moved closer to the pavilion in the location of the basketball court.
