Update on October 11, 2010 Neighborhood Meeting for Lake Air Estates/Bald Eagle Estates Street & Utility Improvements At its September 7, 2010 meeting, the City Council scheduled a neighborhood meeting with residents in the Lake Air Estates/Bald Eagle Estates neighborhood to discuss a potential street and utility improvement project. Mayor Miron, along with Council members Weidt, Klein, and Petryk were in attendance at the meeting along with City Engineer Jay Kennedy and Senior Engineer Technician Steve Duff. City Engineer Jay Kennedy explained that the project was included in the City's CIP and would include roadway reconstruction and installation of City water. At the meeting, Jay stated that the residents generally agreed the roads were in poor condition and needed repair. Residents also requested staff send out a questionnaire to residents in the project area regarding the project. Dan Peka, 5076 124th Street North, stated that he was one -hundred percent against it because he could not afford an assessment. Don Dumer, 4950 126th Street North, questioned whether it was possible to not assess for water until the property owner connected to municipal water. City Engineer Jay Kennedy responded that the City would then have to carry the expense of the improvements.
