City Council meeting of February 3, 1997 Page 2 PELOOUIN INDUSTRIAL PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City Council had expressed an interest in extending utilities to the Peloquin Industrial Park in 1997, if possible. Previously, the Council considered a feasibility report by the City Engineer and determined that the most cost-effective means of serving the Park with sanitary sewer is through a trunk main along the NSP easement north of the Park, and west of T.H. 61. Water service would be brought to the Park from the south along T.H. 61 and looped through the trailer park. The Engineer's estimated cost of the project is $1,068,384. Staff reviewed the plans and cost estimates prepared by the City Engineer, and a draft assessment roll was prepared for the project. This assessment roll is only tentative, and would be subject to change as the Council proceeds through the project. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to accept staff recommendation as follows: 1. The City Council establish a public hearing on the proposed project under Chapter 429 on March 3, 1997. 2. Prior to the hearing, staff is to meet with property owners in the area to explain the project, how it is to be assessed, and to receive comments from the property owners. 3. Given the Council determines to proceed with the project following the public hearing, that the assessments be levied prior to letting a contract for the project in order to allow the appeal for the assessments to elapse prior to the City committing substantial dollars to the project. All aye. Motion Carried. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The Hoisington Koegler Group completed the City's draft Downtown Redevelopment Plan and was to present it to the Planning Commission at their meeting of January 22, 1997. Such presentation did not occur due to the weather. In order to speed review of the Plan, staff recommended that the Council establish a date for a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission to review the proposed Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to schedule a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission for February 19, 1997, at 7:30PM, Hugo City Hall, to discuss the draft Downtown Redevelopment Plan. All aye. Motion Carried.
