The Roll of the City Council was called with the following members present: Mallea, Cowles, Norman, and Carter. Absent: Marcus and Raymond. (AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION) The Mayor asked if there was anyone in the audience who had any items to present to the City Council that was not on the prepared Agenda. Since there was no one, the Mayor declared that the meeting would continue as outlined. NEW BUSINESS (RESOLUTION OF INTENT - L.I.D. 85 -1) The Mayor requested that Mr. Redmond, the City Engineer, address this item on the Agenda. Mr. Redmond informed the City Council that this Resolution, if passed, would initiate the Local Improvement Districts for five projects. The street improvements included in this Resolution would be Florida Avenue from Owyhee Lane to Hillcrest Lane; Hillcrest Lane from Georgia Avenue to Florida Avenue; North Indiana Avenue from Hillcrest Lane to Marble Front Road; Willow Street from Illinois Avenue to Wisconsin Avenue; Wisconsin Avenue from Willow Street to Linden Street; and Paynter Avenue from Garber Street to Aven Street. Also included in this proposed L.I.D. would be a sanitary sewer for approximately nine building lots off of Rice Road. Part of the lots are in the Rimview Subdivision and the other part metes and bounds description lots. The Resolution sets out the improvements just described. The improvements are primarily street improvements being pavement, base, storm drain facilities, curb and gutter in most all cases. The estimated total cost estimated of the improvmeent is $581,356.00 of which $382,390.00 would be paid by the City. This would include engineering costs. It appears that out of pocket costs would be approximately $300,000.00. The remaining $82,000.00 would be engineering costs. The Resolution also shows how the properties are assessed by individual area. Essentially on the main collecter level streets that were identified before which would be Hillcrest and Florida, North Indiana, and Paynter, the City would be picking up the costs for the pavement section plus the engineering costs. The property owners would be picking up the costs for curb and gutter, driveway approaches, widening costs, and irrigation. The property owners would be picking up the majority of the costs for Wisconsin and Willow with the exception of the intersections which the City would pick up. With regard to the sewer off Rice Road; the City will be picking up the preliminary engineering costs and the remaining costs would be assessed against the property owners. The Resolution establishes a Public Hearing for those who might want to protest against the formation of the District, amounts of assessment and etc. The hearing was set for May 6th at 7:30 p.m. at the Regular City Council Meeting.
