30 City Council meeting of .-/1/88 the project, and proceed with local financing. The issue before the Council is really one of financing and we feel the adoption of this resolution gives us the fle;cibility to get the best possible interest rates available. The amended feasibility report itemizing the scope of the project and the total estimated cost was referenced. The decision on assessing property owners would be decided at the time of an assessment hearing, and said assessments would be based on the actual costs of the improvement once the project is complete. Notices of the improvement hearing have been sent to the property owners of record abutting on this improvement. Dennis Schreifels commented that the money would be better spent by improvements to Goodvieaa Avenue and 130th Street which are more heavily traveled than 120th Street. Cheryl Istvanovich asked who would pay for the improvement and was informed that if the project is ordered, assessments would be determined in the future. Mrs. Istvanovich also stated that she is part owner in 30 acres of swamp abutting 120th Street, and questioned how the improvement would benefit her property. City Administrator, Ken Huber, stated that these situations would be taken into account if it is decided to assess abutting property owners. Scott Erhardt did not feel the improvement would benefit his property, and stated that the city should consider closing the road and let White Bear Township pay the entire cost. The public hearing was closed at 7:15 PM.
