He stated it is likely the city will receive a Federal SAFTEA-LU Grant for approximately $950,000. Mr. Maurer stated if the city does not use the grant funds for this specific project, it will not get the funds. The city would have to resubmit a new application for another project to attempt to get federal funding. Councilmember Dietz requested staff further study the four options and recommend an option which would be most cost effective and have the least affect to property owners. Mr. Maurer stated he could estimate the costs and quantify the affect to property owners but he could not make a recommendation on an option. He stated it would be the Council's decision on which option would have the least impact to property owners. .
