Alderman Black seconded the motion and it was carried by affirmative vote of all members. (Text Attached) Mayor Kost then announced appointment of M. D. Schantzen as legal CoDnsel for the year 1972. Thereupon, Alderman Black introduced Resolution No. 5009 confirming appointment of Legal Counsel and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and upon vote being taken it was found that all members voted "aye"' and said resolution was declared adopted. (Text Attached) Alderman Linder then introduced Resolution No. 5010 Authorizing Payment for Services of Department of Highways and moved its adoption. Alderman Black seconded the motion. It was determined that there was no discussion concerning the authorization and vote was taken. All members voted affirmatively and said resolution was declared adopted. (Text Attached) Mayor Kost acknowledged the assembly present for the meeting proceedings and announced that the subject of improvement projects would now be taken up. There were found to be twenty one persons present. Mayor Kost noted that many of the people present represented the Hayden -Osgood -Fischer Streets neighborhood, and explained the procedures for initiating street work and further explained that hearings have not yet been set; that the current discussion is for the purpose of determining the most urgently ',needed work throughout the City. Louis Brunner asked when the hearings would be held and Mayor Kost explained that notices would be published and mailed in accordance with law. Alderman Black added that the list of streets under consideration are those most needing upgrading and that the list was arri.ved'iat by considera- tion of the highest maintenance costs. He further stated that no action has been taken as yet and emphasized the fact that no decision has been made or can be made by the Council until hearings are held. Frank Rutz questioned the determination of Lewis Avenue as a one-way street between Lake and Dale and stated that the residents of the block do not want one way traffic. Alderman Black stated that the subject was brought up as the result of numerous phone calls. The direction of travel is not at issue at this momemt, but the proposal is intended for the benefit of the people who live there and if they don*t want it they need not have it. Ernest Stuke stated that Lewis Avenue is a 33* established street and that there are 20 home owners on Lewis between Lake and Dale and these people are in favor leaving it at 33* and black topping it, and stated that the petition is one hundred per cent for no one way traffic regulation. Mayor Kost explained the EngineerTs thinking on the width of the street. Mr. Stuke stated that there are in existence stakes where the street was laid out 20 years ago and they should be followed. He stated that they are at least 10 to 12 feet from the present surface and they have no parking problem there now. The discussion continued at length concerning costs and the possibility of adding new sewer and water lines which are not needed, according to Mrs. Donald Rath. Alderman Black explained that it is the policy of the Council to install sewer and water lines prior to surfacing wherever required, but that there is no information at this time that there is requirement for these lines. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING -3- JANUARY 10, 1972 Mayor Kost stated that the Council would get advice from the Engineer on the 331 street. Alderman Black then moved that the subject of one-way traffic on Lewis Avenue be tabled. Alderman Westlund seconded the motion and it was carried by affirmative vote of all members. Louis Brunner asked whether the petition by the residents of Hayden stating that they object to the proposed street improvement would be placed on file. Mayor Kost replied that the Council would be aware of it but that the Council would have to consider the matter. He further stated that he does not know what will be decided. Administrative Assistant Mealey explained that the word ??petition" does not imply, necessarily, a written document, and that the VxLaurel Council has acted in the past on the basis of verbal requests. Olson stated that he had not been able to find out who these people are and that he felt that certain elements of legal process are being taken away from them (the residents of Osgood). He further stated that when they read the article in the paper they felt that the meeting could be held tonight and he hopes that if the people are not in favor of the work at a hearing that it would not be done anyway. Don Highberg said that the residents of Osgood are considering a petition and wondered why it wouldnit save the City some money if a petition were presented before costs are figured on the work. Mayor Kost replied that nobody drives just on his own street, that everybody drives on all the streets and if the street can be maintained without any appreciable increase of maintenance costs, he believes the Council would do others that could be done as easily. He explained that there is a 10 year spread of the costs and that it will cost more in three years from now than if the needed work were undertaken right away. He stated that we are consider- ing all these streets now so that we can get the worst ones off the maintenance lists. A further extensive discussion of procedures ensued. The majority of the visitors then left the meeting and Viola Hoeke inquired about the proposed storm sewer installation on Third Avenue NW. Mayor Kost explained that the engineers would draw a map of the drainage area and all the people in the drainage area would be assessed for the work. Mayor Kost asked her whether she would be in favor of the work if the people in the drainge area helped pay for it. A discussion ensued concerning the values of the properties on Third Avenue NW and whether the residents would be able to afford the assessments. Mrs. Hoeke voiced her objection to the work. Mayor Kost explained that this list of projects is just preliminary and that a hearing would have to be held. Discussion followed concerning lot sizes and possible costs of improvements. It was recommended that Mrs. Hoeke have her property surveyed. The Attorney stated that there were some unresolved problems of lot lines in the neighborhood. Mrs. Hoeke then stated that the electric utility people had removed some trees at the rear of her lot and left the stumps and asked that they be removed. Mayor Kost stated that he would see what can be done about it. Costs were discussed. Mrs. Hoeke stated that there is another tree that appears to be on City property that is dead and asked that it be removed. She was informed that if it is on City property, the matter would be taken care Of. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING -4- JANUARY 10, 1972 Administrative Assistant Mealey explained to the Council that in accordance with Minnesota Statutory Liquor Laws liability insurance will be due April 1 and requested authority to call for proposals. Alderman Black moved that such authority be granted. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried. Further discussion was held on the street projects. Alderman Black stated that he thinks some of the streets that were not included are more logical than some that are proposed, such as Milwaukee to Harrington which is a "T" that leads nowhere and Miller to Harrington. He felt that it would be better to go all the way through on Milwaukee. Alderman Linder stated that that is the bad end of Milwaukee. Alderman Black said that he thinks she rest of Milwaukee is worse than Hayden and Osgood. Alderman Linder said that some of the residents had asked for these two but that they had not appeared at the meeting. Alderman Black reiterated that we are making improvements on streets that don't go anywhere. Alderman Linder pointed out the high maintenance costs. Alderman Black stated that he felt that Milwaukee should just be continued. Alderman Linder stated that Osgood and Fischer are really bad. Administrative Assistant Mealey pointed out that only one block of existing street had been improved last year. Alderman Linder brought out the point that some of the people he talked with had said that they would approve parking restriction on Lewis Avenue to one side only. Alderman Black stated that he is concerned about the 3rd Avenue storm sewer and expressed fear that the assessment would probably be more than the value of the properties. He pointed out that the next step would be to put in the street and that would place the assessment out of reach of the property owners. Mayor Kost pointed out that the law states that the assessment must benefit the property to the extent of the value of the assessment of the property, and further stated that he feels that one should be delayed. Alderman Linder concurred. Alderman Black pointed out that if development of the area is to be contingent on these improvements, then it will have to be done. Mayor Kost stated that the City Engineer should be consulted on this. as well as on Hayden, Osgood and Fischer. Alderman Alrick stated that he thinks we should go ahead with the hearings. Alderman Linder stated that he thinks some of these people will go along with the improvements and that if they knew the costs it would probably be different. In reply to Alderman Black's question, Administrative Assistant Mealey stated that the Engineer had stated that they would continue to use existing curb and gutter on Osgood so he probably is thinking in terms of mat only. Alderman Linder pointed out that the people who have good streets in are unhappy about the old ones, and further that it is necessary to get the people who want good streets in to the hearings. Alderman Black stated that Harrington from Linden to Juul Road should be included just to tie things together, and pointed out again that it will be more expensive later. Alderman Black stated that he wants more information from the City Engineer. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING -5- JANUARY 10, 1972 Administrative Assistant Mealey reported on the status of assessments for projects 71-04, Sidewalk installation on 2nd Avenue SW; and 71-08, storm sewer installation on 3rd Avenue SE. After some discussion on the matter, Alderman Linder introduced Resolution No.5011, Declaringcost to be assessed and ordering preparation of proposed assessment and moved its adoption. Alderman Black seconded the motion and it was carried whereupon said resolution was declared adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 5011 (Text Attached) The assessment roll having been reviewed by Council as presented by Administra- tive Assistant Mealey, Alderman Linder introduced Resolution No. 5012 and moved its adoption. Alderman Black seconded the motion and it was carried and said resolution was adopted as read: RESOLUTION NO. 5012 (Text Attached) Alderman Linder then introduced Resolution No. 5013 and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and upon vote being taken all members voted affirmatively and said resolution was declared adopted by the Council: RESOLUTION NO. 5013 (Text Attached) It having been determined that there was no further discussion of the assessment roll as presented, Alderman Linder introduced Resolution No. 5014 and moved its adoption. The motion was seconded by Alderman Alrick. All votes were found to be affirmative and said resolution was declared adopted as presented: RESOLUTION NO. 5014 (Text Attached) Some discussion was held on parking restrictions on Adams to facilitate snow removal. Alderman Black stated that he had contacted a number of residents of the street and had found no major objections appear to exist. At the con- clusion of the comments, Alderman Black introduced Ordinance No. 413 and moved its adoption on first reading. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and upon vote being taken all members voted "Aye" and said ordinance was declared adopted upon first reading: ORDINANCE NO. 413 (Text Attached) Further discussion was held concerning Ordinance 412 restricting parking on North Main Street. It was the concensus that the Ordinance be held in abeyance until concurrence can be reached with the Highway Department. Admini trative Assistant Mealey poin out that egul y ch a eeting of Febary 22 wo�ld cone is wi a prev sched meeting to be h at City Hall and r omd6nded REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING -{- JANUARY 109 1972 Administrative Assistant Mealey pointed out that the regularly scheduled Council meeting of February 22 would conflict with a previously scheduled meeting to be held in City Hall Auditorium which would make conduct of business difficult with so many people moving around and recommended that the meeting be moved to another date. Alderman Alrick moved that the second Council meeting in February be scheduled for Tuesday, February 29. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried. Mayor Kost made a few welcoming remarks to Alderman Westlund on the occasion of his first official meeting.
