further explanation from 12 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:32,680 Randy if he could do that for us uh all those in favor of approving the consent 13 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:38,920 agenda except for 4 I I say I I all those 14 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,240 opposed so carried Randy could you expand upon for I the approval 15 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,079 resolution and amending resolution for the El Street East extension I think 16 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,880 we're at least in conert between Lori and I uh I believe this is in response 17 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:57,119 to feedback from the city's Bond Council uh typically when we're conducting 18 00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:01,439 improvements under the 429 process um there are Provisions with 19 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:07,159 that are somewhat that are time sensitive with respect to certain 20 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,479 actions from the council um after the public Improvement hearing after 21 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,800 presentation of the feasibility report and so considering that the Elm Street 22 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,160 improvements were delayed uh in this case due to to write ofo acquisition 23 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,560 concerns I think the Bond Council had recommended to to the council that or to 24 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,640 the city that they amend the resolution reflecting that it's taking longer than 25 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:35,000 a year uh from our original action and and so that's uh the purpose for that 26 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,720 that language modification or I summarize that accurately that's exactly 27 00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:46,120 the recommendation from Bond council is just to extend it that the bids will be 28 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,720 let no later than such a period of time and 29 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:55,879 we based on the information that we have best estimate would be June 30th of 30 00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:01,400 2025 for that project okay so the the statute does provide for 31 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:07,480 instance like this when it does take longer uh longer than a year but we want 32 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:13,200 it memorialized in in the resolution so that's why it's being brought 33 00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:18,280 back okay well thank you for the clarity Adam can I make a comment yeah 34 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,480 just for the audience and people watching on Zoom so what we're talking 35 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,439 about is that we thought earlier in the year that 36 00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:32,239 roundabout by Cashwise in the McDonald's we thought that would be 37 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:38,480 happening the construction and it's not going to happen because of right of way 38 00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:43,319 issues so that won't be constructed until 2025 correct is that accurate 39 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,840 that's accurate yeah because I don't think that's been reported in the news 40 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,680 leaders or anything it's just been in our own minutes and stuff it's my 41 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,319 understanding Stern County may have published it on their website right but 42 00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,920 but I don't know that it's been in print per se sh on our Facebook 43 00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:06,439 page okay I just reporting in progress clarify that 44 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:14,159 okay well with that I move to approve item 4 I from the consent agenda second 45 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:18,880 all those in favor signify by I I all those 46 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:23,240 opposed motion carries item number five from engineer reports public hearing the 47 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,919 special assessment hearing for the 2024 Street improvements in 2024 Elm Street 48 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:32,440 East improvements believe you got that cover 49 00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:37,120 Randy I I'll start and U my colleague Bryce will will will follow up so good 50 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:41,440 evening uh my name is Randy sabart I'm the city engineer with me this evening 51 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:48,440 is Bryce Johnson also on the engineering team uh as the uh as Adam had indicated 52 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,880 uh tonight we're starting the what we call the special assessment hearing uh 53 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,520 when the city proposes public improvements under the chapter 429 uh 54 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,479 statute we're required to conduct two public Improvement hearings the first 55 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,120 and or public hearings I should say the first hearing was conducted mid January 56 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,600 January 16th which is what's referred to as the public Improvement hearing at 57 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:16,080 that hearing the city presents uh the nature of its proposed public 58 00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:21,360 improvements provides an opportunity for the residents to um provide input or 59 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,800 questions on the nature of the project at that point we provide a preliminary 60 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:30,440 estimate of the costs uh the preliminary estimate of the impacts from a special 61 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,960 assessment perspective uh the second hearing which is tonight is what we 62 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:39,600 refer to as the special assessment hearing so at this at this hearing the 63 00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:44,680 city presents uh what are anticipated to be the final costs associated with that 64 00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:49,479 particular public Improvement and so we have a a brief slideshow this evening 65 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,120 that that Bryce will will get into and then there'll be a period for uh uh for 66 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,160 questions so with that I'll turn it over to my colleague here Bryce Johnson 67 00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:02,759 that'll work through the uh the slides if you didn't notice uh uh at the table 68 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,639 outside the door there's a CO a hard copy of these slides so that you could 69 00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:12,000 follow along all right thank you Randy again 70 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:17,639 I'm Bryce Johnson with SE I will be presenting the slides here for the 2024 71 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:24,639 Street improvements so the project locations we 72 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:30,759 have are Kiwi Court kale Court 295th Street from Kiwi Court to 91st Avenue 73 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:37,759 Pearl Drive and 30 Fourth Street from botser drive to Coler Court uh the 74 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:43,280 kleinfelter Park Trail and the Liberty Point Trail this is a map showing those 75 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:54,479 locations within the city these are the projected final total 76 00:06:51,199 --> 00:07:01,520 project costs so um the second column from the left is 77 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:07,199 the estimated cost at the public hearing now there after the public 78 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:13,280 hearing there was a change an amendment to the scope of the project so again the 79 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,639 that First Column with numbers is the the estimated cost at the public hearing 80 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:22,599 after that scope changed that middle column shows our estimated cost at the 81 00:07:20,599 --> 00:07:28,560 public hearing just of that amended scope which is smaller which will be uh 82 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:34,960 detailed later and then on the on the right we have 83 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:39,639 the projected final cost of the project as we sit tonight after the project has 84 00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:46,639 been bid so our con as we sit tonight our construction total is 85 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:51,520 $786,500 we then have $3,000 for the feasibility report 86 00:07:48,919 --> 00:07:58,159 $181,000 of design and construction engineering $115,000 of soil borings 87 00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:06,599 $63,000 of legal fiscal and administrative costs for a grand total 88 00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:06,599 of 1,75 th000 $75,900 89 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:15,520 so again this this is the project area based on the original scope so you can 90 00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:20,240 see the project 91 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:26,800 costs get my laser pointer here you can see the estimated costs here in this 92 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:31,879 column and then again our our proposed final cost here so this morning Side 93 00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:36,959 neighborhood leaf road and polar Circle are no longer part of the project 94 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:43,719 area for this year's project for this year's project yep they've simply been 95 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:49,680 delayed um so here this is the the same column just with these these uh delayed 96 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,880 areas deleted out so you can see the kind of the the Apples to Apples 97 00:08:51,120 --> 00:09:02,120 comparison so um originally we had an estimated cost of roughly $1.3 98 00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:02,120 million and here we sit at 1 Point 99 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:11,720 1.75 so Project funding again the original the original scope here we see 100 00:09:09,079 --> 00:09:17,240 the preliminary special assessment Revenue um we were projected to be at 101 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:24,839 $1.46 million with a city subsidy of 1.29 102 00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:24,839 million again for a total of 103 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:35,240 2.75 with these areas deleted those numbers drop to 530 roughly 104 00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:40,160 $535,000 of special assessment Revenue that's the estimate at the public 105 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,519 Hearing in January a preliminary City subsidy of 106 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:52,399 $782,000 for that same total of roughly 1.3 million and on the bottom we have 107 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:59,480 the the projected numbers as we sit tonight so 108 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:03,959 in the Forest Manor subdivision we we have roughly 109 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:10,320 $120,000 of special assessment revenue and in the industrial park east which 110 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:15,880 would be um um Pearl Drive sorry Pearl Drive we have 200 roughly 111 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:20,560 $210,000 so here you can see the city subsidies and the proposed totals uh the 112 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:26,320 Klein felter Park Trail and the Liberty Point Trail none of those costs are 113 00:10:23,079 --> 00:10:31,800 assessed so those that's a 100% City subsidy so we end up with roughly 31 % 114 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:37,040 of the cost being borne by the assessments and uh the balance being 115 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,040 borne by the 116 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:43,399 city some some information on the special assessments um so we are 117 00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:47,600 following the city's special assessment policy it has been and continues to be 118 00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:52,279 the policy of the city of St Joseph that when infrastructure improvements are 119 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:57,200 constructed provided benefit to a particular area those costs shall be 120 00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:01,440 levied against benefiting properties selected assessment basis or methodology 121 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:05,279 is meant to balance equity and distribution of special 122 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:10,000 assessment the city commissioned a special assessment benefit report by a 123 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:14,560 third party to identify a range of Market benefit by the project so that's 124 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:20,560 what gives as we'll see later that gives a a maximum assessment value a cap to 125 00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:23,880 each to each area or each lot um that's determined differently based on the type 126 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:29,760 of the type of property uh that we are looking at so 127 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:34,560 here we have those numbers uh Again by the third 128 00:11:31,079 --> 00:11:41,360 party third party uh special assessment benefit report so for Kiwi Court kale 129 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:48,680 court and 295th Street for all of these areas a single family residential home 130 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:54,680 the maximum Market benefit the cap as it were for the assessments is $10,000 per 131 00:11:51,720 --> 00:12:02,440 lot uh for areas AB budding those project areas with raw land that maximum 132 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:09,320 Market benefit was found to be $500 per acre in the industrial park Pearl Drive 133 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:16,199 304th Street Industrial Lots greater than five acres in lot size the maximum 134 00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:22,160 Market benefit is 5 cents per square foot for industrial Lots under five 135 00:12:19,079 --> 00:12:26,760 acres in lot size that that maximum Market benefit is 25 cents per square 136 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:31,440 foot and for vacant industrial properties the maximum Market Ben 137 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,760 benefit was found to be 15 cents per square 138 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,440 foot more information 139 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:46,199 here these specially assessed benefits are derived from 140 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:51,320 surface improvements the city's policy is that 141 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:56,480 up to 60% of Street overlay and reconstruct costs can be assessed 100% 142 00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:01,639 of the street costs are typically assessed to Annex properties with no pre 143 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:07,199 assessment unless Council determines otherwise and up to 100% of New Street 144 00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:12,079 curb and gutter costs could be assessed as well as 100% of new sanitary storm 145 00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:17,920 sewer water main costs so that leaves roughly 40% or more 146 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:23,399 of the cost to be subsidized by the city um as we saw in that previous slide that 147 00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:27,399 number is typic typically higher than 40% special assessments for the 148 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:33,839 subsurface improvements are calculated on a per per unit basis 149 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:38,000 we do not have any of those here special assessments for the surface 150 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:43,399 improvements are calculated on the basis of Frontage per lineal per lineal foot 151 00:13:40,839 --> 00:13:49,199 so that is the the Frontage that your property AB buts to the 152 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:55,040 street so for regular interior Lots 100% of your budding footage for the 153 00:13:51,680 --> 00:14:00,720 Improvement is assessed uh on a rectangular corner lot the sum of 100% 154 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:06,880 of the short side footage and 50% of the longside footage is assessed we'll see a 155 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:12,519 we'll see an example of that later and for irregular sized Lots 100% of the 156 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:16,120 average width of the lot AB buding the Improvement is 157 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:24,199 assessed these are the assessment rates again we have the estimated preliminary 158 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:28,120 assessment rates from our public Hearing in 159 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,880 January and then our proposed final special assessment rate here on the 160 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:39,800 right so you see the Forest Manor subdivision the original estimate was 161 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:46,839 $497 cents per linear linear foot we came to 162 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:53,079 4385 tonight for the industrial park the original estimate was 163 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:57,040 $852 per linear foot of Frontage and here tonight we sit at $863 164 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:08,920 these special assessments may be paid in annual installments over time the that 165 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:12,639 typically is a market rate uh for this for this year the term is 10 years and 166 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:17,320 the interest rate is 5% no interest will be charged if that 167 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,839 special assessment is paid in full within 30 days of the adoption of the 168 00:15:19,079 --> 00:15:26,120 assessment role so assuming that the assessment role be adopted tonight if 169 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,600 you pay that full amount within 30 days you won't be charged interest for this 170 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:37,240 first year so that date that deadline would be September 4th of 2024 of this 171 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:43,120 year the first installment is payable honor before the first Monday in January 172 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:47,120 of the following year so January 2025 would be when that first payment is 173 00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:57,920 due you must pay the pay city the entire remaining amount with acred interest or 174 00:15:55,959 --> 00:16:04,480 sorry you may pay you may pay off your assessment full at any time that in that 175 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:09,519 assessment that interest acrs up to December 176 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:15,000 31st so that needs to be paid before November 15th or the interest will be 177 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:19,880 charged through December 31st of the succeeding Year and that is based on the 178 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Minnesota 429 statute you may also partially prepay 179 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,199 the assessment with any balance being certified to the county auditor for the 180 00:16:26,199 --> 00:16:31,480 collection under the terms previously described in the other 181 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:40,839 slides there there is an opportunity for deferrals if uh certain criteria are met 182 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:46,360 if you are a senior disabled or on active duty military and the assessment 183 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:52,120 is over $3,000 you can request a deferral um this is this doesn't this 184 00:16:49,079 --> 00:16:59,240 doesn't um wi get rid of any of the assessment it's it simply defers it for 185 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,240 a set amount of time 186 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:09,079 uh this is just the process for those for that deferral one would need to 187 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:14,679 apply apply with the city fill out Financial disclosure form within 30 days 188 00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:20,600 of the assessment at which time the city 189 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,600 council would Grant or deny that 190 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:28,600 deferral all right assessment appeals no appeal may be taken as to the 191 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,720 amount of an assessment unless a written OB rection by the affected property 192 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:39,760 owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the 193 00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:45,200 presiding officer at the hearing so if if you do want to appeal your assessment 194 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:49,880 you need to do so in writing either at tonight's 195 00:17:46,679 --> 00:17:55,320 hearing or to the municipal clerk Council may consider the objection 196 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:59,679 at an adjourned meeting uh the owner May appeal an assessment to The District 197 00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:03,919 Court and they must serve notice upon the 198 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:08,000 mayor or city clerk within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and file 199 00:18:06,159 --> 00:18:14,320 such notice with the district court within 10 days after service upon the 200 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:18,960 mayor or the city clerk okay so here we have the special 201 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,520 assessment example if you remember the the example of the corner lot 100% of 202 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:30,799 the short side and 50% of the long side so say we on Kiwi Court if you have an 203 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:37,120 80 foot spot so our assessment rate of 4385 * 80 ft gets us to an assessment of 204 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:50,240 358 and here we have an example from the industrial park 863 times a 100t 205 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:53,960 lot gets us to an assessment of $863 now we don't have this situation 206 00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:00,120 here but if if we had a corner lot that was 207 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:05,880 that was on an intersecting street that had these two different assessment rates 208 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:11,440 on them we would assess 100% of the short side which is the 80 foot side and 209 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:19,400 then we would take half of the footage of the long side and multiply that out 210 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:22,400 so that total assessment would be $753 211 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:32,200 50 finally we have a schedule again we had our we 212 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,400 wrote our feasibility report in December and that was approved by 213 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:40,880 Council December 18th we conducted our public Improvement hearing on January 214 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,640 16th where Council ordered preparation of plans and 215 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:50,679 specifications the original the original bid the original scope of the project 216 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:56,280 bids were opened on May 13th after which bids were uh the project scope was 217 00:19:52,840 --> 00:20:01,039 amended so Count Council authorized the advertisement for bids for this scope 218 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:08,240 scope the amended scope on June 17th Council declared the cost to be 219 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:14,520 assessed on July 15th the public bid opening for this this project was on 220 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:18,880 July 11th here tonight we are conducting the special assessment 221 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:23,320 hearing uh Council May award the Construction contract and adopt the 222 00:20:20,679 --> 00:20:28,120 assessment role tonight if that happens construction will start September of 223 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:34,039 this year and be complete substantially complete and October of this year and 224 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:40,480 final construction will be complete in by May of 225 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:44,159 2025 with that I can take any questions uh from from anybody at this 226 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,000 time you live within the city and uh respect to anybody else that might be 227 00:20:54,280 --> 00:21:00,280 speaking tonight we want to try and keep it to around three minutes or less so 228 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:04,360 any anybody would like to speak or have questions for them you're welcome to 229 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:11,600 step up a separate issue question just step 230 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,600 up to the podium to State your 231 00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:24,480 question my name is Dan rat here and I represent our Family Trust uh which 232 00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:32,720 involves eight children and we own the farm uh with land along 295 233 00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:38,480 and I guess just I I wanted to keep this really short so I just had one question 234 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:44,600 we going through the uh how you figure the assessment 235 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:51,440 so 49 Acres along a road times 500 that's what it how it 236 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:57,279 comes to what it is then or yeah yes sir so if the field was going the other way 237 00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:06,240 and it was 100 acres it would be done the same way well I should back 238 00:22:00,919 --> 00:22:11,840 up the the the $500 per acre is the maximum Market benefit so what we do 239 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:17,240 initially is we'll take the Frontage the Frontage that you have that abuts the 240 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:22,760 road and multiply that by by that rate that 40 40 241 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:27,039 49485 4385 so then from there if I remember 242 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:34,600 correctly your lot in particular did did breach that maximum 243 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:40,559 Market benefit it was over you know 49 Acres multiplied by $500 so you you pay 244 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:46,520 that max amount that's that's the assessment value the rest of it 245 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:50,880 is covered by the city subsidy okay so yes if you had if if what you're asking 246 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:55,840 is if you had a a a longer skinnier lot where you had more front edge your your 247 00:22:53,480 --> 00:23:01,480 original assessment rate would be higher if the field 248 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:06,520 I don't want I my question is more like if the field went away from the road 249 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,400 didn't butt up to the road anymore would it' be a bigger 250 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:15,799 assessment if you had less footage along 295 then then potentially your 251 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:20,200 assessment would be less right so we're we're comparing two things the 252 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:25,520 assessment rate is looking at the the abing footage along 253 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:29,440 295 and then the subsidy or the the the maximum cap to the assessment is based 254 00:23:27,919 --> 00:23:38,360 on the times uh the $500 per 255 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:46,039 acre okay uh so anyway um The Family Trust would like to 256 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:50,039 politely ask for um what you would call a 257 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:55,159 deferment um they did this for us when they put the water man along our land 258 00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:02,159 for the apartment building and we had it was 15 years or if we sell any land we'd 259 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:07,120 have to pay the assessment and it was interest 260 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:12,039 free um and we'd like to be considered for that I it sounds like what you were 261 00:24:10,159 --> 00:24:17,320 we'd have to put that all in writing the request or you'd need to have Chang 262 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:22,880 since last time we did this you need to have that in writing written out and 263 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:26,200 signed this evening and either deliver to the mayor the mayor is not here I'm 264 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,720 the acting mayor so either deliver to myself or David the city administrator 265 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:37,679 so tonight you need something in writing that asking for the 266 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:44,960 deferral what and okay and then I have another 267 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:52,000 question do the microphones in here only record or they supposed to amplify 268 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:59,440 voices they're supposed to do both okay thank you but I guess um as far as um my 269 00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:02,880 experience in with with taking appeals um it can be something that you can you 270 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:08,640 can handr write it's just you need to appear uh ask for the ask for what you 271 00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:12,320 want and then um you can just put it in a piece of paper you know it doesn't 272 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:16,919 have to be overly complete or formal it can be fairly informal last time we did 273 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:24,640 this we just did it at a meeting like this may SCH took a okay it's possible 274 00:25:22,679 --> 00:25:28,880 the 429 rules might have changed I because the process we're following is 275 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,919 through the 429 process but well I'm understanding there's maybe two 276 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:38,159 questions here uh the deferral versus appeal two different things so the 277 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:44,120 deferral would be we not we know over the bar yeah so then the deferral can 278 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:47,840 occur after Council action tonight so the there isn't a Time sensitivity if 279 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,159 you're not appealing if you're seeking a deferral there's a separate form that 280 00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:58,760 that staff can provide you after after the close of business here for you to 281 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:04,000 submit your deferral request okay So yeah thank you if I may sure So Randy 282 00:26:01,399 --> 00:26:08,360 thanks for that clarification so on the deferral um Bryce you had that slide up 283 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:13,960 on deferral parameters and it said a senior a senior 284 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:20,120 citizen or person that's considered a senior can request a deferral what's 285 00:26:17,399 --> 00:26:26,320 senior is that age 65 I think it's age 655 it's that's defined in statute as 286 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:32,399 well but yeah and then Bryce you said deferral is you said something like time 287 00:26:29,399 --> 00:26:37,399 to be determined or I mean how long can a deferral 288 00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:42,279 last so the the statute would Define the maximum deferral of 30 years okay and so 289 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,559 there are conditions for which then the deferral would have to be paid often 290 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:50,440 times it's sale of the property so that that'll be something that the council 291 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,640 considers but the statute by itself defines certain conditions for how long 292 00:26:53,159 --> 00:27:00,279 uh the deferral would last a person requesting a deferral would go to City 293 00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:04,120 administ minator or city clerk correct but then the council has to approve it 294 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,679 correct so they'll make application uh you know build their case 295 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,080 as to why there's a hardship and why a deferral is being requested and then the 296 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:20,080 council makes the determination of whether a hardship exists or or not but 297 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:25,320 under 429 it sounds like the state says if you're a senior why wouldn't you be 298 00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:32,159 granted a deferral you well there's still and even and on Bryce's slide for 299 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:36,720 example the principle has to be rise to a certain level uh in terms of how much 300 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:42,159 of the assessment is owed so for example it has to be over $3,000 I believe is 301 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:49,519 what the ordinance describes is is is a hardship so depending on the conditions 302 00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:53,600 um for some that that there may not be an actual 303 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:59,720 hardship well if it's only the 3,000 but if if the person's a senior are other 304 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:03,640 factors enter in like net worth or income exactly so I mean just because 305 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,840 they're a senior doesn't necessarily mean that the assessment represents a 306 00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:12,320 hardship some some seniors may have the resources to to to pay the assessment 307 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:17,760 what if they're a veteran Sim similarly though the the 308 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:22,200 veterans case or or active duty case if they a way on active duty uh that's 309 00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:26,279 typically where the hardship might might come into play I think there's some 310 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:30,120 discretion on the council's part for for this and I believe and I believe this 311 00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:36,880 statute references active duty versus veteran okay all right that's all I 312 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:41,480 had my name is Jacob frame I'm at 29436 scale 313 00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:47,760 courtt you plan on repaving our road uh we we have no Services we were 314 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:54,919 annexed in 18 at some point services will be brought out will the road be 315 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,399 substantially destroyed through that process will we have to go through 316 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:04,640 another system like this and P more money for a road that is perfectly fine 317 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:10,399 as it sits today so that that is one of the challenges that the city has to to 318 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:15,000 to reconcile or you know with respect to a road that has deteriorated to the 319 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,880 degree that we we're seeing in in kale court or 320 00:29:16,399 --> 00:29:25,360 295th um so the answer to your first question is potentially and potentially 321 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:30,279 I say because it depends on the timing ideally um the city wouldn't have to 322 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:35,720 entertain extending Municipal Utilities for for some time into the future and 323 00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:40,919 and the road is aged uh if we're presented with petitions to install 324 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:45,840 sewer and water because well and septics have have failed or or some 325 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:49,200 environmental issue like that we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it 326 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,480 but that is certainly one of the challenges that the council had to 327 00:29:50,679 --> 00:29:58,279 consider with the nature of this Improvement is how do we continue to 328 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:02,760 maintain a street in in the condition that we're seeing in kale court or 295 329 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:07,559 you keep I'm sorry to interrupt but you keep saying kale and Q as they're the 330 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:13,200 same condition there's they're in similar conditions but I beg to 331 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:19,720 differ it's not even close so but that that's the the nature 332 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:23,720 of it is is we have to consider whether or not the road in its present condition 333 00:30:22,679 --> 00:30:28,480 is still serviceable and the council's we've made 334 00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:32,080 the conclusion that that it was time to make that Improvement at the same time 335 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:38,559 as 295th so to be clear City Council 336 00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:44,799 Members you agree and approve that qwi and kale are at the same deterioration 337 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:49,080 level we weren't in agreement that they're at the same deterioration level 338 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,760 but in previous meetings we've looked at the Integrity of them the quality of 339 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:59,919 them and we agreed that they both need replacing we we didn't agree that like 340 00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:59,919 they were equal and Det 341 00:31:00,639 --> 00:31:07,120 do you take into account the fact that we're at a dead end street we have very 342 00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,120 little 343 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:17,519 traffic was that taken into account I can't hear you was it taken into account 344 00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:23,120 that we're on a dead end street we have no 345 00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:28,080 traffic no that wasn't considered was a good uh I believe I'm going off to the 346 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:33,799 engineer's recommendation on the conditions of the 347 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:37,200 court I I think we'd accept that if if if your point is there's not through 348 00:31:35,399 --> 00:31:42,039 traffic or other traffic from other parts of the community coming through 349 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:47,320 yes we we we recognize that kale and kiwi in the end of 16th Avenue serves 350 00:31:45,399 --> 00:31:50,600 your neighborhood P predominantly that we don't have other traffic coming 351 00:31:48,639 --> 00:31:55,639 through your neighborhood solely we would AC predominantly solely pardon me 352 00:31:53,200 --> 00:32:00,919 solely so solely yes unless someone's lost or you've got deliveries 353 00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:04,799 uh yes the traffic in your neighborhood is limited to the people that live back 354 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,360 there thank 355 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:26,039 you my name is Sher langth I live at 29457 kale Court 356 00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:31,120 uh my neighbors and I most of us um we have brand new neighbors three homes in 357 00:32:27,919 --> 00:32:35,720 tale Court have just sold since January 1st we have someone who just put over 358 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:41,000 $30,000 into a brand new septic system our septic system is very new majority 359 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:45,840 of the septic systems there are very new uh the neighbors that I have spoken with 360 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:52,159 we're all very against this project because we feel that our court uh the 361 00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:56,480 pavement there is fine especially for the small amount of traffic that we get 362 00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:03,559 uh against what we're being levied and assessed uh there's there's also here my 363 00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:07,760 question uh is as far as kale Court uh for a maximum Market benefit what is 364 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:12,799 that based on for $10,000 per lot because that's saying I believe if I'm 365 00:33:10,639 --> 00:33:20,080 not mistaken having been in real estate for quite some time that that's the the 366 00:33:17,159 --> 00:33:25,320 benefit that each lot could see but what is that based on and what is I mean 367 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:30,080 that's the very maximum and yet many of us are seeing well Corner Lo are going 368 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:36,399 to be considerably more ours is almost $7,000 in assessments uh we do not have 369 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:42,200 we've gotten bills recently they've been talking about we don't we don't have 370 00:33:38,919 --> 00:33:48,080 street lights we don't have city sewer or water people have spent a lot of 371 00:33:44,919 --> 00:33:54,039 money to keep themselves on septic to keep themselves uh I think and the 372 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:59,600 majority of people who have now recently bought in uh were unaware that lot of 373 00:33:58,039 --> 00:34:05,480 these things were even in the works are coming we bought our house just a few 374 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:11,599 years ago and you know we had a newer septic system we weren't even aware that 375 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:14,679 there had been some sort of annexation uh that we would 376 00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:20,800 be uh possibly uh facing uh we don't have city 377 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:25,119 garbage service um these are the things that they want to try talk to us about 378 00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:28,320 we don't have city garbage we don't have sewer we don't have water we don't have 379 00:34:26,839 --> 00:34:32,639 street lights uh I believe the majority of the people 380 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:36,480 that live there find it very unfair that we should have to bear any of that 381 00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:43,000 burden when we don't have any of those services and to come in and do a Paving 382 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:46,879 project and then talk about if you're if it's not being down that time then again 383 00:34:44,879 --> 00:34:53,919 later on coming in to do these things will rip things up again um this just 384 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:58,280 puts kind of an unfair burden on us uh for I mean if we were to show I mean if 385 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:03,880 we were to bring in pictures um and take a look at our road is in 386 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:08,720 relatively good condition in kale Court I don't spend a lot of time in Kiwi 387 00:35:05,359 --> 00:35:14,839 Court uh but I know as far as kale court and even most of the road on 388 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:20,599 295th there's one corner that looks uh somewhat worn but the rest of 389 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,480 it is in relatively good condition especially when we don't have any of 390 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:30,960 these services and but I guess back to my question is what is this Mar maximum 391 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:36,119 Market benefit um because some of the people that are having Corner lots are 392 00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:39,599 going to be well over their assessment is going to be well over what the 393 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:44,480 maximum Market benefit that they're looking at could be so to address that 394 00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:50,000 question so the the third party that the city engages that that provides the 395 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:56,119 opinion takes a look at similar types of property as as yours in Ko and kiwi 396 00:35:53,119 --> 00:36:00,520 court so rural rural properties with similar condition stream Street and they 397 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:05,760 look at before and after and so they offer an opinion as what is the increase 398 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:11,480 in market value that a parcel like yours would see before or after such an 399 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,359 improvement and so the $10,000 is their opinion of what that increase in market 400 00:36:13,359 --> 00:36:21,000 value if you were to sell your property tomorrow after the Improvement by 401 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:25,800 comparison to what it was worth prior to the Improvement but that's a maximum 402 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:30,760 what is the actual I mean is there an like more of an actual Market value 403 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:35,680 versus um like what it would be versus what the maximum is because most of us 404 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:40,760 are going to be looking at being close to the very maximum when that's the 405 00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:44,599 maximum so so the maximum is saying the city or what the city would be able to 406 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,400 Levy would be an assess a special assessment up to $110,000 in your case I 407 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:53,880 think in your example you said the assessment was close to 7,000 7,000 so 408 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:58,960 there in their opinion that parcel could bear an assessment even higher based on 409 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:04,640 the Improvement that's proposed by the city so that's why in the case of when 410 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:10,119 we talk about a a city subsidy or the difference if your assessment was 411 00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:15,000 $113,000 for example for a corner lot then it would have been capped at 412 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:19,920 10,000 in this case you're you're under the $10,000 cap so but for somebody who 413 00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:24,839 is on a on a corner lot then their cap is 414 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:29,240 $10,000 yes corre so correct and there there are three um there are three 415 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:35,000 thoughts out there that the proposed assessment was higher than the than the 416 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,000 cap and so then they were limited at the 417 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:43,520 $10,000 okay yeah I just I don't the other aspect that you asked that that 418 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:48,960 doesn't come into the appraisers analysis is whether or not uh there was 419 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,760 a street light or city refuge service or those types of things those are 420 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:58,160 independent of of the Assessor's evaluation of the property so they're 421 00:37:54,280 --> 00:38:02,000 looking at before and after conditions yeah we don't I mean we can't even get 422 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:10,000 decent internet out there because nobody will come out there so we 423 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:10,000 are I mean that's it's 424 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:20,280 it's it's difficult because the amount that you're asking from everybody you 425 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:26,800 know is is you know for most of them are going to be fairly close to that cap and 426 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:30,000 I don't know that everyone's just going to see 427 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:35,640 in real estate we can just tack on $10,000 because that road that's like 428 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:40,079 everyone's going to have an expectation when you go in and you buy a house that 429 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:46,240 there's going to be toilets there it's not that versus a working one versus a 430 00:38:42,839 --> 00:38:50,960 non-working one the the pavement is in as not a bad a shape 431 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:56,880 that the amount that we're getting back out of it I just it it doesn't make 432 00:38:53,079 --> 00:39:00,839 sense uh especially seeing as how it's not 433 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:05,040 it's it's really you know it's in pretty decent shape and there's no way we're 434 00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:12,680 going to realize a $10,000 um Market benefit on having um 435 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,680 new Pavement in 436 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:25,280 there can't we need you to come to the podium so it can be recorded 437 00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:36,800 three three of our neighbors sold in the last year and they ended up giving the 438 00:39:32,319 --> 00:39:45,040 new buyers money so this is not a positive improvement from a from 439 00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:49,720 a property value it's a reduction so it's difficult for us to 440 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:54,200 address that we have no idea where they listed their property whether it was 441 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,680 above or below market conditions and admittedly they're selling with the 442 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:02,119 street in the condition that it's that it's in so the market was it sounds like 443 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:08,200 in those instances determined that they were asking for too 444 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:13,200 much no there was discussion within the agreement knowing that there was going 445 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:17,640 to be a special assessment and the buyer said that's nice but you're going to 446 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:22,599 take a certain amount of money off of the cost of the house because of the 447 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:28,560 assessment and that's typical in in real estate or transactions that the the real 448 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:31,920 estate agent for the buyers will usually approach the city to find out if there 449 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:35,119 are what's called pending special assessments so there's a process to 450 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,880 understand if there's a public Improvement that's pending and so I 451 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:43,319 think the question that you asked or someone had asked new buyers how do they 452 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:48,560 become aware of a project if they weren't weren't there there's a process 453 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,920 built in for which they can find out whether or not pending special 454 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:58,119 assessments would apply then how can it be considered a positive 455 00:40:55,119 --> 00:41:01,520 Improvement I'm maybe not following your the the nature so they've they've 456 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:05,920 accounted in the they would pay more money for the property so what it sounds 457 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:10,720 like they did the property would have increased they have accounted for the 458 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:16,400 Assessments in the transaction is what it what it sounded 459 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,400 like 460 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:37,680 okay my name is Kevin afin and I also live on Kel Court I have a corner 461 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:43,880 lot and uh when the area got an i or when we got into the city they were 462 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:51,280 mentioning you guys were mentioning that there was not going to be any 463 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:57,560 Improvement in that area for seven years well it hasn't been seven years 464 00:41:53,680 --> 00:42:05,560 yet so I'm under trying to understand if Mr M Mr ass here sold those lands and 465 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:10,720 he's going to develop it all if it's or you going to wait until this development 466 00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:17,040 comes in first before before they would start to uh s 467 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:23,480 uh sell land or whatever and build h Homes out there that's what I can't 468 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:29,839 figure out why you would want all this uh maintenance done now when down 469 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:36,520 the road that's going to happen and it could be 10 years down the 470 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:44,760 road could be 15 by that then we'll have to redo everything again and I don't 471 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:50,640 understand your your ideas of uh why you want to get everything done now that's 472 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:59,720 totally insane it's going to take cost us like all these people that are on 473 00:42:54,359 --> 00:43:05,200 this that are on this for our um paying for this we Improvement it's over almost 474 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:11,240 a half a million dollars you think we got half a million dollars just to throw 475 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:17,800 and do this for our roads no we have other things that we need to 476 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:25,440 use for kids families this is too hard to do that 477 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,440 thank you for listening 478 00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:41,040 good evening I'm Kyle R I'm at 29410 kale Court uh I am one of the the new 479 00:43:37,359 --> 00:43:45,000 folks to the neighborhood and um I guess I'm kind of getting up to speed on this 480 00:43:42,839 --> 00:43:48,040 when you say uh these improvements can you just explain is this just repaving 481 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:52,359 are you tearing up the road are you resurfacing can you just explain what 482 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:56,000 you are doing yes we they they'll it's a reclaim and repave so what they'll do is 483 00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:01,359 bring in a machine and grind the existing bis bituminous surfacing with 484 00:43:58,319 --> 00:44:07,440 the underlying aggregate base so they'll blend those materials and then they'll 485 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:12,599 grade that and and PVE pave new pinus on top of that so it's not a widening 486 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:17,800 project it's not uh we're not improving kale or kiwi or 295th to City standards 487 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:23,720 which would typically be an urban section uh so we're we're attempting to 488 00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:28,760 rebuild what what is essentially there and and the nature or the width of those 489 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:32,440 streets do not meet standards uh they're they're much more narrow but we're 490 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:37,680 looking to put back as close as we can the conditions that that are in kale and 491 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:43,839 Kiwi Court in 295th today so the approach was to be mindful of the fact 492 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:49,440 that Municipal Utilities are are are not present uh city is quite honestly Trying 493 00:44:46,839 --> 00:44:53,119 to minimize its investment in in Rec reconstructing the street those that are 494 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:58,119 in the neighborhood you know we've likely observed we've had a patch uh a 495 00:44:55,559 --> 00:45:01,559 couple of areas already on on the street we have concerns about the longevity of 496 00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:06,559 being able to continue winter maintenance and plowing without peeling 497 00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:11,280 up much more of the road so that's the Genesis behind what the council was 498 00:45:08,359 --> 00:45:16,160 considering in terms of improving it now uh because of we've already had to 499 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:20,040 invest in patching uh to try to hold it together so you said it's deteriorated 500 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:24,800 to the point you can't provide the city's 501 00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:29,319 Services those city services as we said are not storm water management 502 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:33,800 they're not garbage pickup it's snow removal is that the only city service 503 00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:38,079 that you're considering that needs to improv that's been maintained or that's 504 00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:42,680 been provided so the neighborhood hasn't petitioned the city to the best of my 505 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:47,280 knowledge for Municipal Utilities uh certainly their Municipal Utilities are 506 00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:52,160 nearby but but not what we would consider at the doorstep of of the 507 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:57,920 subdivision so I think the question was asked about other property that that may 508 00:45:54,240 --> 00:46:02,800 or may not develop that that wasn't uh the council's consideration in terms of 509 00:45:59,839 --> 00:46:07,119 whether to proceed with um the street improvements um I ideally those two 510 00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:10,880 things can time together that the availability of sewer and water and the 511 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,280 deterioration of the street or the Improvement in the street could time 512 00:46:12,319 --> 00:46:19,599 together um oftentimes we're faced with just this very condition that the road 513 00:46:17,319 --> 00:46:23,359 is something needs to be done with the road before we're ready it sounds like 514 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:28,839 the Improvement needs to happen for City Services not necessarily for the 515 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:33,559 residents living there uh as as I'm hearing some of my neighbors say and I 516 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:39,319 in the two short months I've been there would agree it's fine for the low amount 517 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:43,559 of traffic so if it's deteriorated to a point uh is that the are you comparing 518 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:49,119 that is the is it just a Citywide standard you're trying to meet 519 00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:53,400 there and if so you know the traffic is so much lower out there should we be 520 00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:58,319 holding that at the same standard as city streets that may much higher 521 00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:02,079 traffic right the standard has been can can we maintain can we can the city 522 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:07,559 conduct winter maintenance activities without causing further damage and and 523 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:12,720 so we've already seen where uh winter maintenance activities are picking up uh 524 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:17,680 pieces of of of the street because it's it's deteriorated to a point and so when 525 00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:24,559 the city now has to invest additional funds to patch or or pay P or pay for 526 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:28,599 binus patching multiple times and we're Beyond just pothole patching there's 527 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:32,520 cost Effectiveness question that the cities have to address is is it 528 00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:38,240 continuous is it continuing to be cost effective for them to patch areas of 529 00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:42,720 Street as it gets peeled up by by winter maintenance 530 00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:48,160 activities okay uh thinking more long term is it sounds like we may have to re 531 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:53,040 think about this again or or come to this um this idea again down the road if 532 00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:58,000 other services is there long-term planning for the Forest Manor what what 533 00:47:56,599 --> 00:48:03,599 things are we thinking about there is this so there there certainly has been 534 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:08,079 long-term planning since well even 2008 uh when we look at our our Municipal 535 00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:12,599 utility service areas the the the annexation that occurred in 536 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:17,240 2018 all those things are are are considered but typically when we're 537 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:21,480 looking at extending utilities it can be for as I mentioned earlier failing of 538 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:26,200 well and septics so there's a health and safety issue that that has to be 539 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:30,400 addressed that could be one development activity nearby where utilities are even 540 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:35,079 closer to the subdivision that that's another consideration um but certainly 541 00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:40,280 that area has been planned for the eventual uh extension of utilities but 542 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:44,640 uh just because it's been planned doesn't mean that it that the extension 543 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:48,319 of those utilities are imminent so there's a lot of factors that would go 544 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:54,359 into play as to whether or not the city makes the decision to to invest in 545 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:59,280 extending the utilities sure so it seems that the only really imminent thing is 546 00:48:56,240 --> 00:49:03,160 the potential damage to a snow plow that's not even so much the snow plow 547 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:07,880 it's the damage to the road okay it seems yeah I guess just 548 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:13,680 hearing all this it seems that there's longer term planning that needs to occur 549 00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:22,319 before a short-term project like this that may be uh may be moot or obsolete 550 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:22,319 in in a not very distant 551 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:34,480 future may I so in my thank you for your comments thanks for your comments and to 552 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,480 the other 553 00:49:34,559 --> 00:49:41,799 residents in my four years on the council as I've wrapped my brain around 554 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:46,119 these hearings and Street improvements the city has a standard 555 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:53,319 Street Improvement program 556 00:49:48,920 --> 00:50:01,040 which I embrace it it's it's not a short term it's building a road 557 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:06,920 that is planned to last or or improving a street that's planned to last for is 558 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:12,760 it up to 20 years P you know with maintenance we get past 20 so we our 559 00:50:08,799 --> 00:50:19,079 goal is to get to at least 30 so we've had in my experience 560 00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:24,359 other hearings where residents and I totally understand it they're looking at 561 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:28,680 the road saying my Road's fine why in the heck are you GNA redo it charge me 562 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,200 an assessment it's because 5 years down the 563 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:39,280 road pun intended that street if it wasn't 564 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:47,240 improved then could get worse and then you have to do do it then and it's going 565 00:50:43,319 --> 00:50:54,160 to cost more money so we just have a standard in St Joseph to keep our 566 00:50:50,760 --> 00:51:01,720 roads um up to date and I know for people on Kale you 567 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:06,960 compare it to 295th or kiwi uh no one here I don't think 568 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:13,799 there's anyone here from kiwi if for good reason because their road is turned 569 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:18,880 into a asphalt Beach um so it's it's not 570 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:24,640 easy it's hard to look at these assessments but it it's not a short-term 571 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:31,040 fix this is for the longterm and we don't know when develop m is going to 572 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:36,400 occur out there uh that's an unknown is it 5 years 10 years 20 years that that 573 00:51:34,319 --> 00:51:42,559 area where Field Street terminates and going Beyond is just you 574 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:48,640 know it's it's not nothing's happening in that area as far as we know so that's 575 00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:55,920 my comment Street Improvement program am I right yes so the city is 576 00:51:53,280 --> 00:52:01,440 we're actually on our third third update to uh a street maintenance program uh 577 00:51:59,119 --> 00:52:06,240 which is intended to improve the longevity of of St Joseph streets and so 578 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,920 what what council member cluser is referring to particularly when we're 579 00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:15,440 dealing with overs I mentioned the original design of 580 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:21,359 binous streets typically accounts for a 20-year life cycle and we stretch that 581 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:26,760 to 30 years or more with maintenance that is involving crack sealing what we 582 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:29,520 call aggregate ship seals and overlays and so what councelor cluser is 583 00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:37,000 referring to is when we have an assessment for an overlay that overlay 584 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:40,319 may occur at year 15 of that street age uh and people look at their street and 585 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:45,640 they say gez I don't see potholes I don't see it all cracked up the reason 586 00:52:42,599 --> 00:52:49,240 for the overlay at that point is that we have to time these so that we stretch 587 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:54,559 the life of that street to get to 30 years if we try to do it at year 25 once 588 00:52:52,400 --> 00:53:00,520 the potholes and the cracking show up it's too late and so the city has its 589 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:04,799 third generation of Street Maintenance improvements with the intention that we 590 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:08,920 stretch the life out of our streets hopefully to 30 35 years with properly 591 00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:17,319 timed improvements and D kiwi uh um did kale 592 00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:23,160 and K Court just have it resurfaced about five seven years ago I've been 593 00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:26,960 working with the city since 2007 in in kiwi and K Court in 295th certainly 594 00:53:25,839 --> 00:53:31,880 weren't part of the city as that early but there hasn't been 595 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:36,240 an investment from an overlay perspective unless the township did 596 00:53:34,119 --> 00:53:42,559 something prior to the annexation I'm almost positive I've been there 42 years 597 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:49,280 and it has been done I'm almost positive has been done a couple times and then it 598 00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:53,119 was also where the cracks were filled in with that tape and that yep I've seen 599 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:57,079 that so that's that's to prevent the moisture from getting in but with the 600 00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:00,920 degree of cracking and Det deterioration that we see out there now if if if 601 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:06,720 anybody told you that that could be overlaid and you'd see the life out of 602 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:10,920 an overlay uh you were misled uh the conditions have deteriorated to the 603 00:54:08,359 --> 00:54:15,799 point that we can no longer do a inexpensive overlay and what we're 604 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:21,440 proposing with the reclaim and pave is the next next most economical thing that 605 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:27,160 could be done to improve that road okay so then we improve this road now and 606 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:33,200 then you're saying we pay everybody pays whatever their 607 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:39,160 amount of money it is and then nothing gets done out there no building gets 608 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:44,680 done out there no sewer lines or anything getting done out there either 609 00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:50,520 just the road in terms of what's proposed this evening correct it's it's 610 00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:56,720 just the pavement and similar with $10,000 just for my little stretch Road 611 00:54:54,079 --> 00:55:02,079 there so now you now you're also appreciating the point if if we were 612 00:54:58,799 --> 00:55:06,040 talking sewer water storm sewers carbon gutter Street reconstruction we'd be 613 00:55:03,839 --> 00:55:10,079 talking cost much more significant than what we're talking about this evening 614 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:15,440 it's all the more reason why it's a challenge for the city that's that's 615 00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:20,119 totally insane to do it that way put the road down and then come back and do 616 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:25,119 sewer and water later and all that and you got to tear up the road again no 617 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:30,920 come on we're not say but we're not saying that sir even if the property 618 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:35,520 adjacent develops that isn't a precursor to extending sewer and water into 295th 619 00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:40,280 or kiwi or kale they're mutually exclusive so the rasier property could 620 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:45,400 develop if if that happens in the next 10 years that doesn't doesn't it isn't a 621 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:50,160 precursor to utilities having to come into kiwi or kale Court 622 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,160 too far 623 00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:10,280 out I'm not sure I'm I'm following could you please go to the podium again I'm 624 00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:10,280 sorry we need to have it 625 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:25,440 recorded if the question is what what's the minimum amount of time before the 626 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:28,240 city would reconsider uh sewer and water I I 627 00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:34,599 I'm sorry Kevin we need to have you at the podium so it can be 628 00:56:32,039 --> 00:56:39,680 recorded I apologize Kevin I'm 629 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:44,920 sorry no I'm not talk I'm not talking about the sore and water I'm talking 630 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:50,240 about just the actual Road that's going in for us that's going to go in 631 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:59,160 there and say five years from the sewer and water comes in all that money that 632 00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:04,839 we put into that road that's all going to get destroyed 633 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:10,400 on uh because of sewer and water coming in there so in your example if the 634 00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:14,039 determination that sewer and water would be extended into your neighborhood and 635 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:18,760 the streets needed to be reconstructed at only five years old the city would 636 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:24,440 not be able to likely Levy assessments for Street improvements again because it 637 00:57:21,319 --> 00:57:28,480 is so such a short period of time they wouldn't do it 638 00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:32,920 they they wouldn't be able to Levy special assessments for the street 639 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:36,559 improvements again if it occurred with years correct we wouldn't be able to 640 00:57:34,799 --> 00:57:40,720 prove the benefit we wouldn't be able to yeah you'd still have a a newlook street 641 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:46,200 we wouldn't be able to do the same kind of analysis and demonstrate that there 642 00:57:43,039 --> 00:57:50,079 was an increase in benefit in in your example now I hope I'm not around to 643 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:58,119 have to entertain extending sewer and water in in five years if that question 644 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,119 came up but right but that's legal 645 00:58:03,799 --> 00:58:11,160 would that number would drop say it's $10,000 now if the road was in better 646 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:15,640 condition that Max benefit would be maybe it would be$ 1,000 or or you 647 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:22,359 wouldn't even be able to assign a Max benefit to it but that number would be 648 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:25,520 lower if if at all right yes yes if if at all 649 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:37,000 hi I'm Ryan Parsons I have a parcel on Elm Street and um I don't know if Elm 650 00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:41,000 Street was struck from the agenda at the beginning of the meeting or or what the 651 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,960 future of that looks like for um for hearings and assessment and all that but 652 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:47,319 the numbers are starting to roll in and thank you so much you know you guys for 653 00:58:45,559 --> 00:58:51,960 meeting me out there um I really appreciate your responsiveness on all 654 00:58:48,799 --> 00:58:56,200 these questions that I have um am I able to ask them tonight now that that's been 655 00:58:53,839 --> 00:59:01,920 struck or yeah I would say you did received the notice um the for that uh 656 00:58:59,319 --> 00:59:06,359 the yeah your portion of that project was we talked about earlier was to is 657 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:10,920 being delayed until next year due to the because we don't have the the access for 658 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:14,680 the right away there yet so um it is still the public hearing you did receive 659 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:19,559 a notice for it so I would think we would be able to um hear your questions 660 00:59:17,039 --> 00:59:23,280 and and answer what we can so I I don't think that that would be 661 00:59:20,799 --> 00:59:27,920 inappropriate um yeah I will uh I just want to reserve my right to appeal the 662 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:31,119 assessment I just know that that was due tonight and so I have it written on the 663 00:59:29,559 --> 00:59:34,760 back of the uh the letter for this meeting give us to 664 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:47,280 meet question would be just on um just in general you know do Property Owners 665 00:59:44,079 --> 00:59:52,799 get to see the breakdown of the special assessment benefit report um for their 666 00:59:50,599 --> 00:59:55,559 property it's got to be some algebraic equation with a bunch of different 667 00:59:54,280 --> 01:00:00,760 factors do we get to know what those factors are are and then who is the 668 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:05,520 third party that does that um and can we contact them um I'm just wondering 669 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:09,880 because I have an agricultural parcel and I want to know how the different 670 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:14,119 zoning applies to my parcel which is pie-shaped 671 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:20,599 crazy as we talked about before um but I'd love to know exactly why I'm 672 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,599 assessed exactly what I'm 673 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:29,039 assessed we we contract with a third party appraiser uh certif residential 674 01:00:26,559 --> 01:00:34,480 appraiser that that does this and takes a look at what the proposed benefit is 675 01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:39,520 the name of of thatan Nel Nel appraisals Nel was escaping me at the moment um and 676 01:00:37,319 --> 01:00:44,079 they do issue a report that report is public um public 677 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:49,680 data actually it's presented to the attorney so I I believe it's it is 678 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:53,440 privileged what is okay sorry this is I apologize this is a new process here for 679 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:57,079 me where we we do the appraisals beforehand in the all the cities have 680 01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:03,200 worked at before we if there was an objection we did it afterwards so so my 681 01:00:59,839 --> 01:01:08,039 mistake but um but yes we do and we get that report and then we from there we we 682 01:01:05,559 --> 01:01:15,200 determine what that overall benefit is okay and do I ever get a copy of that 683 01:01:12,039 --> 01:01:21,079 report I I don't know if I don't know the I I I was making assumption it was I 684 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:26,880 I guess if this goes to a district a district proceeding uh I I anticipate 685 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:30,839 that that will be available right now the City attorney commissions that 686 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:36,160 report so that it in the event that there are appeals it's treated as 687 01:01:32,799 --> 01:01:41,520 privileged privileged information okay so just for 688 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:46,520 my everybody else here uh so am I wrong when I say that we don't get unless we 689 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:50,079 hand a letter to you like I just did we never get a chance to see the breakdown 690 01:01:48,319 --> 01:01:55,520 of how we're assessed on our special assessments for these projects is that 691 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:59,279 correct that that's correct okay you well no that that's not entirely correct 692 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:03,160 you're not the breakdown of the assessments is available the assessment 693 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:07,200 role is available at in in David's office so that breakdown of how the 694 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:10,599 assessments are computed is is a public document and that's available but not 695 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:16,839 how they're computed just the fact that even how we compute it is available the 696 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:19,480 the thirdparty Appraiser's opinion is the part that's 697 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:26,440 privileged can you give me an example what that might so I can what do you 698 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:31,440 mean like we can show you exact how we calculate your assessment okay that's 699 01:02:28,839 --> 01:02:36,359 based on the cost of the the cost of construction but not the factors that go 700 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:40,599 into that and the and the factors that go into the into the cost so all of that 701 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:46,200 information the cost information is is publicly available the Appraiser's 702 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:51,480 opinion of how he determined the maximum benefit is the part that is privileged 703 01:02:48,279 --> 01:02:56,760 or the document is is obtained by the attorney in the event that there are 704 01:02:54,359 --> 01:03:02,400 appeals that that can be treated as privileged 705 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:06,079 information okay can I get the okay the screen 706 01:03:03,319 --> 01:03:09,599 again that answer your question it it not well I'm just trying to 707 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:13,920 differentiate between what is the public and what is the private so what does 708 01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:18,200 what do so is privileged on the slide where they say maximum 709 01:03:16,319 --> 01:03:24,400 benefit that's the appraiser so this number this 710 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:27,079 4385 and 8063 we can show you exactly where that that's that's the 711 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:32,359 construction cost we can show you exactly where that comes from each each 712 01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:35,640 bid item you know black top gravel all the 713 01:03:33,119 --> 01:03:45,400 things this that's what it costs to do the project yes yep the the 714 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:48,880 maximum benefit number this you know yours is different right yours is I 715 01:03:47,079 --> 01:03:54,559 believe is on a square footage basis but this $10,000 per lot that maximum 716 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:58,240 benefit number that's what Randy is is talking about when he says that's 717 01:03:56,359 --> 01:04:05,319 contracted through the lawyer yeah and that's we don't get to see how they 718 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:05,319 calculated that yes yes sir okay right 719 01:04:10,599 --> 01:04:13,599 thanks 720 01:04:14,119 --> 01:04:19,839 yes yes yes you will it's correct yeah 721 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:39,760 Scott Bine live at 29457 kale Court um couple issues um first of all can you 722 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:46,559 tell me how old this road is 2 95th out to kale we cannot uh who knows 723 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:51,400 this hopefully well maybe at best someone from the township so when there 724 01:04:48,799 --> 01:04:55,839 is no record drawing so any improvements that the city builds or constructs over 725 01:04:53,599 --> 01:05:01,440 time there's a record of the plan if it's even 20 years old yet we we don't 726 01:04:58,799 --> 01:05:05,520 we suspect it's it's older than that but we don't know if it's more than 20 years 727 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:12,240 old or under 20 years old we know what it looks like so do we yep and being on 728 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:18,359 Kale Court you know we got a lot of kids in the neighborhood ride bike skateboard 729 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:22,680 roller blade out there there ain't nothing wrong with that 730 01:05:19,559 --> 01:05:27,720 road June 95th does have some issues biggest one being on the corner 731 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:31,760 which a big chunk was torn out and that was because of one of the city snow 732 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:37,559 plows and I watched them he just kicked it off into the ditch did the city come 733 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:42,480 back out to fix that nope so now you're going to assess us for the 734 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:47,799 damage but I don't need to know how old this road 735 01:05:44,599 --> 01:05:52,319 is if if someone can produce a record of of the original construction uh 736 01:05:50,319 --> 01:05:58,599 unfortunately there isn't one available U I'd love to know that too I'd love to 737 01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:03,400 know what what's underlying it um what the original construction was but there 738 01:06:00,839 --> 01:06:07,640 was no documentation that the city had available to 739 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:12,200 it so when you do this Overland say three five years down the 740 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:16,799 road then you want want to run out the utilities and stuff are they going to 741 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:20,880 widen the road out then and put curbs and gutters in that's a decision that 742 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:24,079 the city will make it that time I I guess I can't answer that question for 743 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:29,200 you sir so we're just going to go ahead and repave this without any future 744 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:32,520 plans we don't know what's going to happen yet 745 01:06:30,359 --> 01:06:37,920 right I mean it could be next year two years 10 years nobody knows right the 746 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:42,880 council could commission or or order an improvement if if it deemed necessary uh 747 01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:47,920 so improvements can be conducted two ways one by petion of the neighborhood 748 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:55,039 or two by the council's own action so certainly a c a seated council could 749 01:06:50,119 --> 01:07:00,200 make the decision to improve or widen um none of us seing here can 750 01:06:57,839 --> 01:07:03,839 can say with certainty whether that would happen five years from now or two 751 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:08,359 years from now so nobody really knows them so you're telling me that that's 752 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:12,680 fair I I don't know how I I could answer that question for 753 01:07:10,039 --> 01:07:17,839 you so down the road are we going to have a chance to vote on if we want 754 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:22,640 these water out there because we've had the water tested compared to the city 755 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:28,359 and our water out there is much better with the whales well I guess I 756 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:32,520 me and it it we you can't bind a future Council to what they can or can't do but 757 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:36,039 typ with the the council at least in the short time I've been here with the city 758 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:40,400 has taken the the approach or the opinion that um as far as the the sewer 759 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:45,480 and water out there that that would be a by a petition purpose is because it's 760 01:07:43,319 --> 01:07:51,279 not right up to it right now so you'd have to extend it to go out there so um 761 01:07:48,319 --> 01:07:55,480 at this point then there's been no um there's been no push to to I guess for 762 01:07:54,119 --> 01:08:02,640 to extend it out there and force the residents to do that um you know what a 763 01:07:59,799 --> 01:08:06,839 future Council might do um it's it's hard you can't predict that um but all I 764 01:08:05,319 --> 01:08:11,039 say is in my experience with working City C with City councils on a situation 765 01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:15,559 like that it would be either a comparing a compelling reason meaning something's 766 01:08:13,039 --> 01:08:18,880 out there's really failing like it's contaminating a water system or 767 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:23,480 something along those lines or the residents out there have had um issues 768 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:28,159 with it and they petition to have sewer and water extended to them 769 01:08:26,279 --> 01:08:33,759 on a personal note I know I'm sitting as a council 770 01:08:30,480 --> 01:08:39,560 member but I live on 17th Aven of Southeast and I was Township when we 771 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:46,120 moved in and now we are City and actually what's happening to you guys it 772 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:52,080 happened with my husband and I um all I can say in concur with is you have to go 773 01:08:49,719 --> 01:08:56,759 with every situation as it's coming and take care of how you want to approach it 774 01:08:54,799 --> 01:09:00,839 as it's happening happening because we can't we can't my husband and I didn't 775 01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:05,880 know I mean compared to what we were dealing with with the council at the 776 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:11,520 time and then we had a situation you know approximately 15 years after that 777 01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:17,920 completely different Council completely different mayor um and so I I would just 778 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:23,120 say you know make sure you have all your information and if you need to move 779 01:09:20,440 --> 01:09:28,600 forward then take the appropriate steps that the city and following letters and 780 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:33,839 making sure that the communication is between uh the residents and the city 781 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:38,520 and hopefully following the ordinances and that we have that we can support we 782 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:42,560 don't want to have this happen to you but we have to be able to look at both 783 01:09:40,480 --> 01:09:50,199 sides of the fence and be able to make sure that we are watching out for 784 01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:54,480 everyone concerned and I I hear you I understand 785 01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:58,640 exactly what you're going through um and so moving forward we're trying to the 786 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:01,679 best of our ability to be able to support you as we 787 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,560 can all right thank 788 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:19,520 you is there anybody else that like to address the council this 789 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:29,560 evening with that we'll close the P sorry go ahead goe Kevin I 790 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:36,719 just I just want to know how do we find out if this passes or not passes or or 791 01:10:32,679 --> 01:10:40,480 is it in the works or it's what you are you going to 792 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:47,239 just let us know or what so the council has two 793 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:52,080 actions uh this evening after the public hearing closes uh first action would be 794 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:56,000 whether to adopt the assessment role as has been presented or proposed this 795 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:59,880 evening the second decision that they would make is whether or not to award 796 01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:03,800 the Construction contract and proceed with the work so that is the next step 797 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:07,840 that they could take okay soon as this evening you would have another meeting 798 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:12,199 after that there there wouldn't be another meeting after after 799 01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:23,480 this okay 800 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:36,120 I'll just ask one last time is there anybody else who would like to address 801 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,120 the council before we close the public 802 01:11:36,679 --> 01:11:43,560 hearing if not then we will close the public 803 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:47,280 hearing mror mayor if I may and just um so now that the public hearing is closed 804 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:54,800 um we Al Just for information we did receive a written petition uh appeal in 805 01:11:51,360 --> 01:12:00,480 the uh objection in the mail um it is for the Elm Street portion that was so I 806 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:03,800 mean it's not really applicable at this point but we do need to make aware that 807 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:07,600 we did receive it and we will keep it for when that comes forward 808 01:12:09,239 --> 01:12:14,840 okay Randy can you reiterate the two actions that we have before the council 809 01:12:13,480 --> 01:12:19,719 this evening now that the public hearing is closed so first action would be to 810 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:25,880 consider adopting the assessment role that that has been presented so that 811 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:31,080 would in essence um um adopt the costs that you're anticipating 812 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:36,400 uh the revenue that you're anticipating to be generated through the 813 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:40,040 assessments um and then parallel to that you have the ability if if you wanted to 814 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:44,480 to proceed with awarding the Construction contract that would in 815 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:49,159 essence start uh the construction activity or initiate the construction 816 01:12:46,480 --> 01:12:54,400 activity but there wouldn't be a a another or third public Improvement 817 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:58,760 hearing or public hearing um after tonight's proceeding 818 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:03,719 and that' be two separate votes they would be two separate votes uh and yes 819 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:09,080 two separate votes and And to clarify on the 820 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:14,159 resolution for the adopting the final assessment that to clarify that does 821 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:18,679 exclude the Elm Street Extension because that was 822 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:23,679 postponed pending you know those RightWay Acquisitions and being able to 823 01:13:20,679 --> 01:13:27,840 move forward on that project so because the um 824 01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:32,040 notification in the publication included the Elm 825 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:37,440 Street um assessment I just wanted to clarify that the resolution does exclude 826 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:44,040 that so when we get into bonding that's critical that we understand that the 827 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:52,199 cost is less because of that piece of it okay with that being heard I'll make a 828 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:52,199 motion to move to approve uh resolution 829 01:13:55,360 --> 01:14:03,880 excluding the Elm Street Extension properties 830 01:14:00,679 --> 01:14:09,600 second any other discussion if not we have a motion in a second all those in 831 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:17,239 favor signify by I I I all those opposed motion carries I

of um 860 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:53,760 per our agreement we had some very specific things that we kinetic is your 861 01:16:51,639 --> 01:16:58,080 uh partner in fundraising for the community center 862 01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:02,199 uh that we needed to do as part of our agreement with you it's Our 863 01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:08,600 obligation those some of those things are in the last memorandum of 864 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:14,440 understanding that that we agreed to one of the things that we had to do was was 865 01:17:11,639 --> 01:17:20,080 conduct additional training for the members of the Capitol Campaign 866 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:23,000 Committee those volunteers serving on The Campaign Committee that would be 867 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:30,679 going out and participating in solicitations and in explain in the um 868 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:35,080 the project to interested participants and interested 869 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:41,880 donors on July 18th uh we did that session at Gan um we 870 01:17:39,679 --> 01:17:47,320 had good attendance from the committee had it over lunch and had about two and 871 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:52,600 a half hours worth of training um for all the members and we also had it uh 872 01:17:49,679 --> 01:17:58,760 available online via zoom and we did have members attend via Zoom as well 873 01:17:54,920 --> 01:18:02,560 well so that that obligation that we uh took on for additional training we did 874 01:18:01,239 --> 01:18:10,639 that on July 18th um one of the other things that we 875 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:15,320 said that we would do is is in our agreement uh our agreement between 876 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:20,560 connetic and the city council is that we would provide up to 80 hours worth of 877 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:27,040 consulting services on any given month understanding that the holiday 878 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:33,040 seasons in around Thanksgiving and Christmas New Year's inside our our 879 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:37,719 current contract that those holiday seasons are not uh time periods excuse 880 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:44,600 me are not are not prime fundraising time with 881 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:52,679 people gone in the holidays so what we've done is rather than dividing 882 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:58,600 those 80 hours per month evenly over each of the months we've taken hours 883 01:18:55,120 --> 01:19:02,760 from December and hours from November that are not going to be as productive 884 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:08,960 in November December because of the holidays and we're moving those hours 885 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:15,000 into July August and September where we do have an opportunity to be more 886 01:19:11,239 --> 01:19:22,120 productive and provide more services um but but we're maintaining the same 887 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:26,440 contract terms and billing spread evenly so that way the city is not paying extra 888 01:19:24,239 --> 01:19:31,760 for us to to do extra work in July August September you're paying the same 889 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:36,320 period throughout the the terms of the contract it's just this gives us an 890 01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:41,000 opportunity to give you more value without you spending more money for that 891 01:19:38,639 --> 01:19:47,960 additional value and that's that's already started and it's and it started 892 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:55,520 in uh in July August and September um I personally am coming in um two days per 893 01:19:53,440 --> 01:20:00,239 week typically as what it ends up happening and then the rest of the team 894 01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:04,880 is coming in in addition to the two days on a weekly basis I'm coming in to meet 895 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:11,000 with donors and to meet with the committee the committee itself um 896 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:14,600 decided that providing leadership the volunteer leadership for 897 01:20:13,480 --> 01:20:21,840 the campaign was too much work to 898 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:28,960 expect a an individual in a volunteer capacity to do so the committee creat 899 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:35,040 ated what they are calling the St Joseph YMCA campaign 900 01:20:31,679 --> 01:20:43,199 chair committee and it's a leadership group made up of five individuals with 901 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:47,520 one additional um advisor and

01:21:35,040 of the leadership committee members so that we could actually start calling on 910 01:21:31,679 --> 01:21:38,880 donors and fulfilling the the asks that are necessary to move forward with 911 01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:46,600 fundraising on the campaign so those assignments have been made this today 912 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:51,920 tomorrow and Wednesday are my followups to work on

committee will meet in the afternoon at 3:30 in the afternoon the 3:30 time 921 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:36,400 period is so that the committee will those committee members that have 922 01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:39,920 obligations during the day that keep them from meeting during the daytime 923 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:45,120 would have a better opportunity to meet at 3:30 in the afternoon so so we're 924 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:49,760 moving forward with that um I will be present at each of those meetings as 925 01:22:47,480 --> 01:22:53,239 well to make sure that that we keep that moving 926 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:59,920 forward the rest of my team that are working alongside me 927 01:22:55,320 --> 01:23:05,719 Janelle Johnson has been taking Point um with doing our foundations requests 928 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:12,679 we've identified three foundations that we believe that kinetic 929 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:18,080 believes uh would be good partners to help fund this 930 01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:22,639 request um we're not in a position right now to to to share who those are but I 931 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:28,239 can assure you that we're going through the application process we're starting 932 01:23:25,199 --> 01:23:34,679 to to meet with the funders themselves each of those three foundations will be 933 01:23:31,199 --> 01:23:39,480 specific requests for the St Joe Community Center 934 01:23:36,440 --> 01:23:45,679 YMCA they are not requests to be shared this from these particular three are not 935 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:50,639 shared between us and the St Cloud Y and any other projects they're specific to 936 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:56,600 St Joseph and each of those three funders have the potential 937 01:23:54,600 --> 01:24:01,560 it it's not defined yet but has the potential of being six figure 938 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:05,480 contributions to the campaign and one of those three has a potential of being a 939 01:24:03,719 --> 01:24:11,760 seven figure contribution to the campaign so we're moving forward with 940 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:19,280 that paperwork right now um and we've worked with the St Cloud y to make sure 941 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:24,840 that we have the proper EIN number uh employee identification number tax ID 942 01:24:21,719 --> 01:24:29,800 number so that that way those found s can actually contribute to the St Joseph 943 01:24:27,480 --> 01:24:34,040 Community Center project and have it be designated for this project and solely 944 01:24:31,679 --> 01:24:38,159 for this project so we're working forward with that that was something 945 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:42,960 that the council specifically asked us to do and we're moving forward with that 946 01:24:41,440 --> 01:24:47,840 one of the other things that the council asked for us to do is create a 947 01:24:45,119 --> 01:24:53,360 systematic approach to communicating where we are with the 948 01:24:50,560 --> 01:25:00,119 status of the campaign and what's happening uh both good bad and ugly in 949 01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:06,159 terms of that and we've drafted our first 950 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:12,320 internal copy the the the the words the content of what a a monthly newsletter 951 01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:17,520 might look like for the campaign and we're going through the editing process 952 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:22,560 on that and then now the design process to make sure that it looks good and 953 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:26,719 attractive and folks will want to be a part and want to receive it and that's 954 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:33,199 happening we still anticipate that being able to to start uh being disseminated 955 01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:39,520 as soon as SE uh September so we feel really good about that 956 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:45,560 um this next these next three days and then uh a week later I'm going to be 957 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:51,119 spending most of my time my Consulting days working with individual committee 958 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:55,239 members to make sure that we've secured individual commitments from the 959 01:25:53,480 --> 01:26:00,760 committee members are in a position to make commitments and then 960 01:25:58,159 --> 01:26:05,000 frankly um to 961 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:11,480 revitalize those committee members that that may have for one reason or another 962 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:17,639 stepped back from an active role in the the committee we've had a few members 963 01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:22,920 that have have said you know I'm really busy I'm not certain that this is the 964 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:29,920 project for me right now and and we interpret that 965 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:33,320 as as um I'm not particularly ready to move forward with this campaign so we've 966 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:38,360 got to go back and meet with those individual committee members and kind of 967 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:42,199 reactivate them as part of part of a role in the committee and that's going 968 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:47,840 to have to be done on an individual basis so we're we're moving forward with 969 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:52,320 that as well those are the action items that we committed to to the council as 970 01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:59,440 per the memorandum of understanding so far we're following through with that 971 01:26:55,080 --> 01:27:06,480 um Bob council member loo I will tell you I'm feeling better about my 972 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:11,920 commitment to you that if it comes time to come back with a proposal I'm feeling 973 01:27:10,159 --> 01:27:18,000 that I can defend it to you at that point I'm not there yet but I'm on the 974 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:23,920 pathway sir the jury's still out on you yeah thank you sir any other 975 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:29,800 questions I I do I do have a question yes um so you said you have three that 976 01:27:27,480 --> 01:27:36,320 you're just particularly asking for St Joel why isn't that across the board for 977 01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:41,920 any asking is the is the St Cloud still asking St Cloud is still going through 978 01:27:39,639 --> 01:27:47,080 their Grant application process because there are some 979 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:52,239 foundations that frankly will fund the broader Regional scope more than they 980 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:59,000 will fund either a specific project for St Cloud on its own or specific project 981 01:27:55,360 --> 01:28:05,840 for St Joe on its own but if they look at the project as a regional 982 01:28:02,239 --> 01:28:09,600 impact um we both will get more money than we would if we tried to get it on 983 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,600 our 984 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:26,080 own thank you and we're communicating really closely on that to make sure that 985 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:31,920 that that those points are clarify do you have a total figure you 986 01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:36,960 can throw at us tonight I don't because I've had two additional contributions 987 01:28:34,480 --> 01:28:43,280 and I'm not certain that Lori has received yet so um I'll have that for 988 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:49,159 the next meeting but uh we did get two more commitments that have come in since 989 01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:56,000 the last time that I've gotten a report Okay Kevin anything thank you Scott 990 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:56,000 thank you 991 01:28:56,639 --> 01:29:05,159 that was item seven we're on to item eight we have a County Road 121 992 01:29:02,239 --> 01:29:09,560 crosswalk Improvement update uh thank you acting mayor um council members so 993 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:15,119 uh I was hoping to have something on your agenda for tonight for Action uh 994 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:19,239 however um it is not quite ready yet um as you remember uh staff Council 995 01:29:17,679 --> 01:29:24,560 authorized staff to submit an application for safe road Zone funds for 996 01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:30,719 the crossing out there at uh cter Road 121 and Lanigan um so that so 997 01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:36,199 the city along with the county applied for the safe road excuse me safe roads 998 01:29:33,679 --> 01:29:38,760 Zone fund Grant earlier this year and we have been notified that we were approved 999 01:29:37,480 --> 01:29:43,040 for $95,000 um so the state is currently 1000 01:29:41,679 --> 01:29:46,920 processing the award to generate the grant agreement I was hoping to have 1001 01:29:44,239 --> 01:29:51,320 that ready for tonight for authorization um but looks like it was not quite ready 1002 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:55,520 so it will be um before you at the next council meeting for official action so 1003 01:29:53,119 --> 01:30:01,400 this is more of a information on that so that um the application anticipates 1004 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:06,199 roughly 127,000 of construction and that Grant is an 8020 split which leaves an 1005 01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:10,840 estimated City cost of roughly 32,000 plus any additional soft costs so no 1006 01:30:09,239 --> 01:30:18,960 action required at this time but we will take any questions yeah the the cost is 1007 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:25,800 127,000 out of 95 so there's 32,000 left isn't the county participating in this 1008 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,800 at all and it's all our cost 1009 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:33,800 uh it is all of the city's costs what the county had committed to would have 1010 01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:39,960 been uh any additional striping or or improvements at the at the road but they 1011 01:30:36,239 --> 01:30:44,480 lended the support uh to to the uh to to the city's application so there was a 1012 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:47,520 letter of support from the county but uh this was the city's pursuit in terms of 1013 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:52,400 the improvements um in terms of the safety 1014 01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:58,960 Improvement okay so the county just gave us a go get him 1015 01:30:56,040 --> 01:31:01,960 guy okay 1016 01:31:02,119 --> 01:31:08,840 correct so just to reiterate Dennis because I know that's why you're here 1017 01:31:06,199 --> 01:31:15,159 tonight the state's currently processing the $95,000 grant award and they need to 1018 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:18,400 create a grant agreement once they create that then that's something that 1019 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:25,639 can be given to us and we can vote to approve it so we're slowly working can I 1020 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:29,840 question it's up to the presiding officer it's 1021 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,840 fine with 1022 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:37,520 me just I I appreciate I appreciate all it's been 1023 01:31:35,159 --> 01:31:42,080 done had a couple more people here one of our gentlemen in our group just had 1024 01:31:40,199 --> 01:31:48,400 electrodes put in his brain and he had to go home he was having some issues he 1025 01:31:45,199 --> 01:31:54,880 was so that's why they left early so I apologize for Tom Scher uh he wanted to 1026 01:31:52,239 --> 01:31:59,239 be here um but I appreciate what you've done I don't know who wrote the grant 1027 01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:03,840 that's obviously time was about 20 pages I read it all very well done I we 1028 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:09,520 appreciate that to me it seems like a deal at an 820 so we appreciate I 1029 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:14,600 appreciate that the only thing I ask can added it very good very um keeping us 1030 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:18,320 informed just keep us informed at the Timeline I had a goal like before the 1031 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:23,920 snow flies but I know you've got a bidding process you know you've you know 1032 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:29,639 I you have probably have to pour concrete before it freezes too but just 1033 01:32:26,639 --> 01:32:36,480 keep us informed that's I don't know do you answer how long the process 1034 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:42,520 takes um we're hoping the procurement is actually fairly quick um what what there 1035 01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:47,400 may be more of a delay uh is is actually ordering the equipment so uh 1036 01:32:45,639 --> 01:32:52,880 availability for the council's clarification the what's been considered 1037 01:32:50,440 --> 01:32:57,679 as part of the scope would have been two speed zone feedback back displays so the 1038 01:32:54,960 --> 01:33:03,400 things that show how fast drivers uh are are driving so so the budget included 1039 01:33:00,440 --> 01:33:06,880 two of those in each Direction uh LED and crusted kind of push button signs 1040 01:33:05,480 --> 01:33:11,719 similar to what we see right across the street here by by the College of St 1041 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:16,800 Benedicts so there's often lead times with getting getting those equipment so 1042 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:21,960 that I'm is probably more of a variable for us than ordering and getting it here 1043 01:33:19,480 --> 01:33:25,960 get getting it here um since we have the county support in 1044 01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:29,320 terms of the permitting and working within the right of way that that's 1045 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:32,560 likely not going to be very time consuming so the only the other thing 1046 01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:36,920 that's going to take some time is actually putting together the the 1047 01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:42,040 construction documents uh to to be able to solicit the quotes So the design uh 1048 01:33:40,440 --> 01:33:49,199 solicitation of the quotes and then the actual execution of the work so um the 1049 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:54,440 grant agreement uh we the time frame has it has to be spent by the end of June uh 1050 01:33:51,679 --> 01:33:58,840 next year so yeah okay that's so we have so we have time um but our goal would be 1051 01:33:57,239 --> 01:34:03,280 to start the process as soon as the grant agreement uh is presented to the 1052 01:34:01,159 --> 01:34:06,920 city and the council we well we appreciate all you've done thanks to I 1053 01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:13,719 guess it's acting mayor just for tonight just or you hope 1054 01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:18,280 I guess so but we appreciate all you've done especially I know it takes time the 1055 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:23,280 people that actually write the grants go through the process I know jod Tesh was 1056 01:34:20,199

portable crushing of asphalt and concrete and 1070 01:35:34,199 --> 01:35:41,280 then storage of that Associated material this is for that site that is east of 1071 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:46,040 the Tropic site um so their parcel that they purchased maybe about a year ago um 1072 01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:50,920 we also have the American Legion um who's redoing the western side of their 1073 01:35:48,199 --> 01:35:56,520 building uh because we have a allowance on the um total percent of metal um and 1074 01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:59,800 they're proposing to exceeded that uh that does require Planning Commission 1075 01:35:58,239 --> 01:36:04,400 recommendation and Council approval similar to when bad habit Brewery 1076 01:36:02,159 --> 01:36:09,480 expanded their operation and expanded
