�� / <br />'x� <br />Special City Council meeting of July 21, 1988 <br />Page 3 <br />considered this evening. Many individuals from the Goodview Avenue and <br />Oneka Lake Boulevard areas addressed the Council and expressed their <br />strong support for the project. There were those supporting the project <br />who indicated a concern that there would be a lot of speeding on the roads <br />and that improving the roads would become a safety hazard. There were <br />also those who felt that cars had a tendency to go out -of -control more <br />often on the gravel roads than on blacktop. They stated that by improving <br />the roads it would be minimizing the traffic hazards on these roads. <br />Several residents from the Falcon Avenue area, as well as the 177th Street <br />area, addressed the Council and indicated their support for the project. <br />Residents from Hyde Avenue inquired as to why Hyde Avenue was established <br />as a collector street and why they should have to pay additional <br />assessments for redoing their road when many paid for the existing roadway <br />when they purchased their lots. <br />After receiving input for approximately 1 1/2 hours, Mayor George Atkinson <br />closed the public hearing. Mayor Atkinson then spoke in favor of the <br />project as proposed and thanked all of the audience and staff for making <br />this a very successful public hearing, particularly considering the amount <br />of information that was disseminated, and the courtesy afforded to all <br />parties whether for or against the project. He stated that in his opinion <br />the project was needed and a great opportunity for the city, and that the <br />majority of the objections voiced this evening related to Homestead <br />Avenue. He then suggested that the Council consider approval of the <br />project as proposed with the deletion of Homestead Avenue from Phase 1. <br />Potts made motion, Olson seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 88-33, RESOLUTION <br />ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS <br />PROJECT PHASE 1 #5-2-88(B). <br />VOTING AYE: Olson, Potts, Vail, Atkinson <br />VOTING NAY: Peltier <br />Motion Carried. <br />AUTHORIZING FINANCING OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM <br />Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 88-34, <br />RESOLUTION DESIGNATING FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS FOR FINANCING CAPITAL <br />IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #5_2-88(B). <br />VOTING AYE: Olson, Peltier, Potts, Vail, Atkinson <br />VOTING NAY: None <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Peltier made motion, Olson seconded, to adjourn at 9:50 PM. <br />All aye.
