He asked if this would potentially cause higher <br />3 bidding due to contractors needing to move equipment. <br />4 <br />5 Mr. Hubmer replied contractors are asked to bid projects in stages and to come in with the utility <br />6 crew to construct. one part of the job. He usually anticipates and tells the contractor to keep it in <br />7 control. <br />8 <br />9 Commissioner Gray referred to the map and pointed out it looks like through 39 oes h to <br />g g <br />10 Chandler. <br />11 <br />12 Mr. Hubmer indicated the yellow line follows the sanitary sewer and does not represent the <br />13 street. <br />14 <br />15 Mayor Faust stated this portion of the community could not get to a park without crossing an <br />16 impediment. He asked how buildings on the south side of the City are serviced by utilities. <br />17 <br />18 Mr. Hubmer pointed out on the site map where utilities are located and what areas are serviced. <br />19 <br />20 Mayor Faust asked about the project on Pahl and 27t`. <br />21 <br />22 Mr. Hubmer stated 27th and Pahl west of Silver Lake Road are back on the schedule for 2007. <br />23 <br />24 Councilmember Horst asked if, as part of feasibility report, it is feasible to do this project next <br />25 year. <br />26 <br />27 Mayor Faust clarified if the City did not do Silver Lake Road in 20071 27th and Pahl would have <br />28 been done, but now that Silver Lake Road is pushed to 2008, it can be completed next year. <br />29 <br />30 Councilmember Stille remarked when the City Council talked about funding Silver Lake Road <br />tY g <br />31 the Council stated it would take on the debt of typical street projects. He explained this is a wash, <br />32 as the City would replace different streets. <br />33 <br />34 Mr. Hubmer pointed out they are basically re -phasing theJ ro'ect to et the most for the City's <br />p g tY <br />35 dollars. He stated the City would get all the utilities and the street upgraded for about the same <br />36 cost of just one utility. <br />37 <br />38 Mayor Faust clarified, even though it may be a little more expensive, it makes more sense to do <br />39 it all at one time. <br />40 <br />r <br />41 Councilmember Thuesen stated he feels the right thing to do is to invest in the infrastructure. He <br />42 asked if the City is ahead of curve by taking on chunks at a time and reinvesting in the <br />43 infrastructure.
