It was determined that Two persons were present for the hearing. Mrs. Fred Briggs, 485 High Street stated that her property is approximately an acre and asked a number of questions concerning the need for the work and the costs. She stated that she cannot afford the assessment although the need, as pointed out by the City Engineer, was clear. Mrs. Arnold Albrecht also objected to the work on the basis of the cost and indicated that the assessment procedure should be changed. There being no further discussion, Alderman Westlund moved that the hearing be closed. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried. Vice President Black thereupon declared the hearing closed at 8:17 p.m. REGULAR. COUNCIL MEETING -3- FEBRUARY 29, 1972 At 8:18 p.m. Vice President Black called to order public hearing on proposed storm sewer improvement on Glen Street from Cedar Avenue to Washington Avenue. Thirteen persons were present for the hearing. Engineer Priebe explained that the area proscribed for notice to hearing is not necessarily the area to be assessed, but is within that area. The reason for this being that before extensive surveys are made to determine the precise drainage area it would be well to notify all possible property owners according to provisions of law so that these provisions would have been met representing a savings in time and cost when the weather permits work to be started. Fred Sorenson, 316 lst Avenue NW stated that he did not need any more drainage since his lot drains to the Northwest. Vance Zehringer stated that he has good drainage to the river and that he has contacted 20 people in the neighborhood and none of them could see any need for storm drainage with the river so close. Alderman Black explained that this would have to be done sooner or later, and with a view to future street improvement it was now feasible from an engineering standpoint to get the underground work done. E. Prochnow, 10 Glen Street N wanted to know how many people are involved. J. Miscavage stated that there is no problem in his area (265 lst Avenue NW). Administrative Assistant Mealey reported that Guy McGilton, 245 lst Avenue NW had called and said that although he does not want the storm sewer assess- ment, he does want curb and gutter along 1st Avenue.. C. A. McEwen stated that the tax payers should not be "soaked". Several questions were asked concerning the schedule for street improvement work. One person wanted to know what condition the street would be in if the storm sewer were installed. He was informed that it would be put back into its existing condition before the work was begun. Mrs. Hauser asked about improving dead end streets and stated that the more traveled streets need improvement the most. K. Prihoda asked how many people would be payinf gor the project, the cost per individual. A lady wanted to know what part of the property owned by the City is assessed, such as boulevards. H. Oliver, 125 N Glen wanted to know how the total cost was computed and insisted upon knowing why the assessment could not be pre figured by lot line. Engineer Priebe explained that the surveys are made by elevations and it is not possible to do that until the snow clears. He further stated that he and his immediate neighbors are already in a storm sewer area and was assured that he would only be assessed once for the same work. All persons having been heard in regard to this project, Alderman Westlund moved that the hearing be closed. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried, whereupon Vice President Black declared the hearing closed at 8:55 p.m. At 8:56 p.m. Vice President Black declared open public hearing on proposed project for storm sewer improvement no. 72-12 on Franklin, 5th Avenue SW and Glen, and read publication no. 1405 in full. It was determined that there were 19 persons present. Vice President Black explained that this work is being considered at this time with a view to future street improve- ment. Mrs. Paul Boetcher stated that she is against the project, that the people cannot afford so many improvements, and that she already has assess- ments and is too deeply in debt. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING -4- FEBRUARY 29, 1972 Ted Simons, 570 Glen asked how closely related this work is to actual street improvement. Betty Robinson, asked whether there would be a street assessemnt later on, and stated that there was a previous assessment. Vice President Black repeated that notices were sent to a broad area to insure inclusion of all possible affected property owners and that if a property has previously been assessed, it cannot again be assessed for the same work. He further explained that it could happen that separate portions of the same property could be assessed for separate projects. Mrs Robinson asked where the line would end, and where it would be situated.. A. Boelter, 515 Glen stated that he gets standing water every year up to his sidewalk and that he has had cut tires on the accumulated ice. He said that water stands on his corner and along Franklin. There were numerous questions concerning where the water drains and people who wanted to know precise costs. R. Frazier, 548 5th Ave SW wanted to know what is done with the assessment money. A discussion ensued concerning assessment procedure. Chairman Black explained that the procedure was established many years ago, making it impossible to change over to a general levy for improvements since many people would be placed in double jeopardy at this point. Mrs. Robinson also questioned the return to general levy for improvements. T. Simons stated that instead of accelerating the improvement program it should be slowed down. He was informed that the total improvement work for 1971, apart from new areas largely covered by subdivision agreements, was two tenths of a mile. P. Riebe wanted to know when the work woula'be done and was told that it is planned for this summer. Chairman Black also stated that it is hoped to have the work completed so that the assessment rolls could be made up prior to October 1. He further pointed out that the assessments can be spread over a 10 year period. Mrs. Frasier stated her objections to payment of the assessments, particularly for older people. Chairman Black determined that all persons who so desire had been heard and Alderman Westlund moved that the hearing be closed. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried. Chairman Black then declared the hearing closed at 9:43 p.m. At 9:45 p.m. Vice President Black declared open public hearing for proposed storm sewer improvement on 3rd Avenue Northwest from Main to West City limit, 72-15. It was determined that there were 17 persons present. V. Hoeke stated her objections to the proposed work on the basis of costs and plan for the work. R. Klammer, 3rd Avenue NW and Campbell Lake questioned the drainage area and costs resulting from work previously done by the state along T. H. 7. He was informed that the City would take care of the area to the North. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - 5 - FEBRUARY 29, 1972 Ford Rolfe, 3rd Avenue NW and Water Street stated that the water they get now is from flash flooding. He stated that the road is in good shape now and doesnt think this work is necessary at this time. He stated that the water does not stand for any length of time. P. Klammer stated that when the City graded 3rd Avenue a large tile was broken and that if that were repaired it would solve the problem of flash flooding. F. Rolfe agreed. Engineer Priebe stated that the one at 3rd and Water was replaced and that he knows of no other broken lines. Mrs. Lorraine Wright, 183 3rd Avenue NW stated that her property is so low that the storm sewer would not help since the drainage is from the RR tracks. Engineer Priebe stated that her problem is from water backing up from the river into the basement of the house; the line from 3rd goes West of her property and when it is under pressure it comes up through the grate, and that is why we want to let it out below the dam. F. Rolfe asked how the water would be controlled without curb, and whether it is planned to put in curb and gutter within a year or so. J. Clay, Hutchinson Telephone Co. stated that as far as they are concerned there is no water standing problem and they are not interested in the storm sewer. He further stated that he had talked with N. Stearns who stated that he is not interested either. E. Wilkie said they are not interested either. Chairman Black explained that the problem is not standing water, but a maintenance problem. H. Plath said that the water runs down hill from the highway, at 4th and Water Street, then asked why the assessments couldtt be against the property on 3rd Avenue. Alderman Black repeated that if a property has already been it will not be assessed again. There were numerous other questions concerning the direction of flow, previous assessments and costs. Chairman Black explained that a storm sewer assessment is based on drainage area and that the only way we can estimate costs is according to work recently accomplished, which is now approximately five cents, per square foot. He further stated that there is no plan for immediate street work on 3rd Avenue Northwest. It was determined that all persons desiring to be heard had been heard. Alderman Westlund then moved that the hearing be closed. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and the hearing was declared closed at 10:15 p.m. Vice President Black acknowledged Gordon Fox et al, Kraus Anderson Associates who presented the plans for the new shopping center on T.H. 15 S to be known as Plaza 15. The Planning Commissionts recommendation that the plan be approved was considered as well as the recommendations of the Building Official who approved the plan totally. Alderman Westlund moved that the Council accept the recommendations for approval. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and upon vote being taken, all members present voted "aye." and the plan was approved. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - 6 - FEBRUARY 29, 1972 C. Barger from Rieke Carroll Muller was acknowledged by Vice President Black and presented plans and specifications for the water facilities project WS -MINK -117. The plans were reviewed by the Council and Mr. Barger explained that they have been submitted to the State Department of Health and is asking Council approval and authority to advertise for bids subject to approval of HUD. Alderman Linder moved that such approval and authority be granted, subject to approval by the Department of Health and DHUD. Alderman Westlund seconded the motion and it was carried, vote having been taken. Discussion followed concerning CATV. Administrative Assistant Mealey outlined procedures for acquisition of this service as presented by the LMM and recommended that authority be granted to advertise for proposals to include therecommendation for appropriate ordinance. After due delibera- tion, Alderman Westlund moved that the City Clerk be directed to advertise for CATV proposals to be received at a convenient hour on May 1, 1972. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried.. A recommendation was received from Chief Broderius to authorize advertising for proposals for a small low -powered vehicle for use as an unmarked police car. He stated that the Department is now renting such a vehicle from Frank Motors for $50 per month and he would like to enter into a rental - purchase plan which would alleviate insurance complications and possibly avoid potential suit in event of personal injury. The car would be used merely for transportation and surveillance work. After due consideration Alderman Linder moved that Chief Broderius be authorized to advertise for proposals for such a vehicle with payments over a 12 -month period, the balance payable in full at the end of that period. Alderman Westlund seconded the motion and it was carried. Administrative Assistant Mealey submitted Chief Broderius' recommendation for acceptance of Plowman's bid for a patrol car at $2,150.
