Page 2 City Council Minutes July 21 1986 e 6.1. Kno11wood Street Overlay Project Terry Maurer, City Engineer, indicated that he and Phil Ha1s, Street Superintendent, had inspected the area originally proposed for overlay. He noted that they both felt, as was brought up at the 7/7/86 Council Meeting, that certain areas were in better shape than others. Phil Ha1s stated that Ulysses Street, 195th and 197th Avenues within the Oak Hills Additions were in better condition than the streets within the Kno11wood Additions. He further stated that it was his feeling, as well as the City Engineer, that all streets in Kno11wood, Kno11wood West and Kno11wood West 2nd Additions should be overlaid. He noted the streets in these areas are all badly worn and are beyond the point where continued patching of the worst areas is an economical or long lasting method of maintenance. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. The following are comments from residents in the proposed overlay area. Me1 Lofgren is actually done soon, tearing up be a double - Questioned why Smith Street was being considered since it part of Tyler Street. He questioned whether Tyler would be and if so would Smith also have to be redone, therefore the proposed overlay. He also questioned whether there would assessment should Smith be redone. e Terry Maurer, City Engineer, stated there could be a possibility Smith would not be redone. Counci1member Gunkel noted that if Smith Street were reconstructed, the residents could possibly receive a credit on the assessment. Phil Dahlheimer - Questioned whether there would be a double assessment. Gwynn Robinson - Questioned why the assessment is $1,100 when gas prices have decreased and in previous years other people paid $1,000 for similar projects. The City Engineer noted that the $1,000 fee has not been raised since 1981 and felt that it was time this fee be raised in order to try to stretch the City's maintenance budget. Ron Gilman Indicated he was under the impression that the City Staff would be looking at only the 4 or 5 bad spots in the roads as opposed to the whole subdivision. Mr. Lindquist (of 203rd Avenue) Questioned the actual condition of the roads and some of the drainage problems which he felt should be repaired prior to overlaying. The City Engineer noted that the City Street Department would be doing preparatory work before the overlaying e
