Mayor Carlson had prepared a report on a financial policy for village improvements for dis- cussion with the Council. He stated a policy had to be adopted by the village regarding street maintenance and improvements, sanitary sewer, street lighting, and a water system. LaValle thought street lighting was one thing that shouldn't be paid by special assess- ment, but storm and sanitary sewer systems and water systems could be. LaValle said in his estimation improving a road meant blacktopping, and he didn't feel you could have a special assessment for this. He ,said the village should start blacktopping some of the gravel roads, and continue with a certain amount each year, as costs to maintain the gravel roads are extremely high. Pam Bjorum stated she felt there were two different typeset road improvements; people on a particular road might petition for blacktop and would be willing to pay special assessment for it, and other roads would have to be improved because of their increased general usage, which should not be paid through a special assessment. Motion made by Carlson and seconded that Council adopt as policy that storm and sanitary sewer and water system costs over and above those of general benefit be paid by special assess- ment, and street lighting costs in the urban service area be paid by general funds. Carlson, LaValle, Lease for, Bjorum abstained. Motion carried. Carlson also had prepared a six year budget which he explained to the Council and asked them to review.
