WARREN ARCAND - 130TH STREET Warren Arcand addressed the Council, and after a lengthy discussion, requested that the City Council amend the C.I.P. as it relates to the 130th Street improvement. He requested that the Council acquire right-of-way and relocate a portion of the road through a swamp to straigthen the road along the section line. He cited increased traffic in front of his mother's house and the high assessments he will have to pay for the improvement as proposed. The City Council questioned the need to straighten the road, and it was the consensus that there seems to be no benefit in straightening the road when considering the costs of Mr. Arcand's request. Mr' Arcand stated he was not willing to pay the cost of relocating the road as suggested by the city. After a lengthy discussion, the Council unanimously agreed that the C.I.P., Phase 1, should continue as proposed as it relates to 130th Street in light of the discussions with Mr. Arcand. Councilman McAllister was also concerned about acting on this request since no formal petition or application was submitted by Mr. Arcand. Mr. Arcand thanked the Council for their consideration, and stated that he would have to consider whether he wanted to pursue this matter in some other way. Olson made motion, Vail seconded, to adjourn at 9:27 PM. All aye. Motion Carried' Ma Creager, Cit.Clerk Cit Hugo L~�
