City Council Minutes October 3, 2005 Page 2 City Engineer Terry Maurer stated that installing city sewer and water would make economic sense in this area. Mr. Maurer indicated that Mr. Hartman could be given a petition to have residents in favor sign and bring before the Council. Mr. Maurer noted that this option would require only a simple majority vote of the Council. Councilmember Dietz stated that he would like to see 186th Avenue completed along with Naples. Councilmember Farber concurred. Councilmember Dietz questioned what percentage of residents would have to be in favor of the project for it to proceed. Mr. Maurer indicated that State Statute states that 35% of the affected property owners must be in favor. Councilmember Dietz noted that the Council required 50% of the affected residents to be in favor of the project on Boston and Concord and that worked well. Mayor Klinzing concurred. Mr. Maurer noted that the difference between this project and the Boston and Concord project is that in this case, the city does not have the required right-of-way to complete the project and if a resident is not in favor, the city may have to use condemnation to get the necessary right-of-way. Mayor Klinzing directed staff to provide Mr. Hartman with a petition for him to carry and once that is returned to the Council an informational meeting would be held to discuss the project. 5.1. Resolution 05-114 Adopting Final Assessment Roll for Northstar Business Park. Public Hearing City Engineer Terry Maurer stated that the project cost for the Northstar Business Park is being assessed against the lots in business park which are owned by the Economic Development Authority. Mr. Maurer stated that the total cost proposed to be assessed is $947,200, which is made up of the construction bid, typical city overhead costs, and other miscellaneous costs associated with developing the Northstar Business Park. Mr. Maurer noted that construction is currently underway and will not be completed until next year. MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER GUMPHREY AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FARBER TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 05-114 ADOPTING THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL IN THE MATTER OF THE NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK IMPROVEMENT OF 2005. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 6.1. Update on September 21. 2005 Storm A. EOC Activated and Emergency Response Fire Chief Bruce West indicated that the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated the evening of September 21, 2005 due to the severe storm that came through the area. Chief West explained that he spoke to Police Chief Beahen that evening and Chief Beahen concurred that the EOC should be activated. Chief West stated that some good lessons have been learned from this activation. He stated that there were some paging issues, both with the digital pagers and with the Nextel cellular phones. Chief West explained that this was a small scale EOC activation and there were enough personnel to handle it but if it had been larger, additional personnel would have been needed.
