Motion Carried. <br />120TH STREET P.I. PROJECT (IMPROVEMENT HEARING) <br />As per Council resolution 1987-66 (see enclosure), we have proceeded word-. <br />with White Bear Township and Ramsey County for the improvement of 120th <br />Street east of Highway 61. The project in question involves the <br />construction of a 9 ton roadway (rural section) from Highway 61 to a point <br />approximately 1.06 to the east. The total estimated cost of the project <br />is $530,300.00. The proposed plan involves Ramsey County paying for 75% <br />of the project cost while 25% would be borne by White Bear Township and <br />the City of Hugo. The total estimated cost of the city's share of this <br />project is $75,000.00. Although direction has already been given to <br />proceed with participation in this project, the method of financing is <br />still in question. White Bear Township has agreed to assist with the <br />financing, but we feel that it may be clot simpler to finance the project <br />in conjunction with other city projects (Homestead Drive and equipment <br />purchases). To proceed with the financing of this project through a local <br />bond issue, the city is required to hold a public improvement hearing and <br />identify the cost of the city's share of the project and allow for the <br />assessment of all or a portion of these costs some time in the future. In <br />that the City Council has indicated a concern that we keep the door open <br />to possibly assess a portion of these costs to benefiting property owners, <br />it makes a lot of sense for us to hold this improvement hearing, order <br />
