City Council Minutes June 28, 2010 Page 3 • Jenny Kotaska, 1237 Main Street, requested the council reduce the speed of Main Street to 25 mph as she is concerned with speeding heavy truck traffic. Brian Hub, 303 Proctor, asked if the thicker pavement would extend the roads life or help with heavy weights. He asked the council if the economy could be taken into consideration and not move ahead with this project. Mr. Anderson stated the thicker pavement supports heavier traffic. The life of pavement depends on the amount of traffic but should help extend the life of the road. He stated because of the economy, the City has received more competitive bids which in turn mean a reduced cost of assessment. Larry Toth, 813 Fawn Road, asked to explain how people can pay for the assessment. Mr. Anderson explained the process. Mayor Klinzing stated the council may choose to allow for up to seven years to pay for the assessment. Ms. Johnson stated that residents can apply for income eligibility deferrals for those that are senior citizens, disabled, and/or experience hardships. Ms. Homan asked how long the project will take. • Mr. Anderson stated they'll start the project after the Sherburne County Fair parade in mid- July and should allow for 4-6 weeks for the project to be completed. Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Council discussed fixing the retaining wall and once it's determined it's on city property, to go out for bids to fix the wall. They also directed staff to talk with each homeowner regarding unused driveways and decide on a case by case basis whether or not to pave them.
