Item # 4_6 <br /> Howarc R. Green Company <br /> March 13, 2001 <br /> File: 812420J-0030, 0564 <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: DOWNTOWN SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROJECT <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> As you are aware, the public hearing and assessment hearing for the Downtown Sidewalk <br /> Replacement project are both scheduled for Monday evening, March 19. Attached for your review <br /> is another copy of the brief feasibility study that was prepared for this project. I will be prepared at <br /> the public/assessment hearing to make a brief presentation on the project and then answer any <br /> questions the City Council or public may have. In order to preserve their right to appeal the <br /> assessment, the property owner must submit a written objection to the Mayor or City Administrator <br /> at or before the assessment hearing. Simply voicing any objection at the assessment hearing <br /> 4 does not constitute an objection. <br /> As you are aware, staff held an informational meeting to discuss this project on Thursday, March 1, <br /> 2001. At that meeting, both business owners and property owners were invited. There was a very <br /> small turnout for the hearing, and very little discussion was sparked by staff's presentation. <br /> Attached for your review are a sign-up sheet and minutes of that informational meeting. Those in <br /> attendance did voice a preference for an early construction schedule prior to the Art Soup <br /> celebration. <br /> At the close of the public hearing and assessment hearing, the Council has three resolutions for <br /> their consideration. Copies of all three are attached. The first resolution orders the improvement <br /> and the preparation of plans and specifications. The second resolution approves the plans and <br /> specifications and orders the advertisement for bids. According to our schedule, bids will be <br /> opened on Thursday, April 12, and be available for the City Council's consideration on Monday, <br /> April 16. The final resolution for the Council to consider is a resolution adopting the final <br /> assessment roll. <br /> If there is anything specific you would like me to present Monday evening, or any questions you <br /> have prior to the meeting, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R. Green Company <br /> 91efa(M,e,t) <br /> Terry J.• rer, P.E. <br /> TJM:tw <br /> Encs. <br /> O:\PROJ\812420j\0030\Ltr 03-13-01 Council.doc <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
