Special City Council Meeting June 8, 1998 Page 4 Jeff Gregerson, 13861 201" Avenue, stated that speed limit signs are needed in his neighborhood and felt his property taxes should cover the cost of the signs. Dan Steffens, 13813 196th Avenue, asked if the roadway wil be removed before putting down the overlay. Terry Maurer explained that the entire roadway will not be removed as part of the overlay, however, any areas which need to be removed and patched will be done by the city's street department. Scott Peterson, 20159 Rawlins, expressed his concern that the base of Rawlins Street contains a lot of clay and asked what protection the city has that the overlay will last. Terry Maurer indicated the overlay is guaranteed for one year by the contractor and, after one year, the city's street department will maintain and repair the road. Mr. Peterson indicated he did not feel the overlay should be done on Pascal until construction is completed in the Oakwood Forest addition. Phil Hals, Streets/Parks Superintendent, stated staff feels it is important that the truck traffic does not destroy the existing road structure, and with the overlay, Pascal Street should be equivalent to any other 9 ton road in the city. Steve Miller, 13940 200th Avenue, asked how long the property owners had to pay the $1,450 assessment in full without any interest. Mayor Duitsman explained that they would have until approximately November 15th to pay off the assessment without interest. Mr. Miller asked how long the overlay will last. Phil Hals indicated that with an overlay, streets typically last from 14 to 20 years or more. Mr. Miller expressed his concern that the property owners were not notified in advance the assessment was coming. He expressed his objection to the assessment af this time and felt it should be delayed in order to allow residents time to budget for the expense. Dean Pullar, 19110 Waco Street, questioned the statement in the assessment letter they received regarding the 30 days to pay with no interest. Terry Maurer explained that by law, residents have 30 days to pay with no interest, but that it has been the city's past practice to allow property owners until November 15th to pay off assessments with no interest. He added that the assessment must be certified to the county by November 30. Mr. Pullar asked who pays for road repairs after the one year contractor warranty. Terry explained that the city assumes the responsibility. Mr. Pullar questioned if curb and gutter is proposed. Terry indicated there are no plans for curb and gutter. Mike Chambers, 13850 200th Avenue, asked if there was a chance his sprinkler heads next to the roadway would be damaged. Terry Maurer indicated that there should be no reason for damage to occur off the street, but if damage did occur, he should contact the city and the city will take up the matter with the contractor. Mr. Chambers questioned if there would be additional costs to the city if the contractor did not finish the project by the completion date. Terry Maurer indicated he was confident the project will be completed in 6 weeks, possibly within 30 days. Donna Bullock, 19336 Ogden, explained problems she has experienced in trying to sell her property.
