City Council meeting of October 16, 2000 Page 5 building, which the developer, Jim Kellison, removed from the Council agenda for further discussion. The Council had tabled action on this issue until the October 2, 2000 regularly scheduled Council meeting for further discussion and the opportunity to negotiate for the sale of the earth. Staff estimates that 10,000 to 15,000 cubic yards of excess material exists on the site. Staff recommended that the Council consider an agreement with Eagle Enterprises to grade Lot 1, Block 1, BEIP 3rd Addition. Chris Taylor of Eagle Enterprises is interested in the earth if he does not have to pay for it, as the grading work performed for the City is worth approximately $2 per cubic yard. The Council thanked Mr. Taylor, but took no action on this request in the event earth was needed for a future City project. EXTENSION REQUEST TO JACKSON'S FOR STORM WATER PONDING AND TRUNK FEES At the direction of the City Attorney, City staff requested an extension from the Jackson's for final determination of storm water ponding and trunk fees.

One proposal would be to improve the road and install up to 12" of gravel on 140'' Street with a regrading of the gravel and the installation of "steep grade" signs on the edges. City staff recommended the Council consider the installation and regrading of 140' Street with gravel and installation of "steep grade" signs, which the LMCIT representatives encourage as a way to limit any City liability. Council member Barnes felt that this situation was "an accident waiting to happen", and was concerned with City liability. Public Work Supervisor Petree stated that the only calls he had taken were positive relative to the road being closed. Leroux made motion, Petryk seconded, to defer action on this matter until the spring of 2001 to determine the water level of Lake Plaisted. All aye. Motion Carried.
