Mayor Miron, along with Council members Weidt, Klein, and <br />Petryk were in attendance at the meeting along with City Engineer Jay Kennedy and Senior <br />Engineer Technician Steve Duff. City Engineer Jay Kennedy explained that the project was <br />included in the City's CIP and would include roadway reconstruction and installation of City <br />water. At the meeting, Jay stated that the residents generally agreed the roads were in poor <br />condition and needed repair. Residents also requested staff send out a questionnaire to residents <br />in the project area regarding the project. <br />Dan Peka, 5076 124th Street North, stated that he was one -hundred percent against it because he <br />could not afford an assessment. <br />Don Dumer, 4950 126th Street North, questioned whether it was possible to not assess for water <br />until the property owner connected to municipal water. City Engineer Jay Kennedy responded <br />that the City would then have to carry the expense of the improvements. <br />(Councilmember Weidt returned at 8:16 p.m.) <br />Miron made motion, Haas seconded, to direct staff to mail a questionnaire to the residents in the <br />Lake Air and Bald Eagle Townhome area to determine interest on a future road and water <br />improvement project. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />
