I. INTRODUCTION In early Fall 2002, the Elk River City Council authorized Howard R. Green Company to hold an informational meeting with residents who live adjacent to Boston Street and Concord Street between Mississippi Road and Orono Road, as shown on Exhibit 1. The meeting determined interest in extending public utilities, including sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the area, along with reconstruction of the roadway to an urban style street. City Council direction was in response to a petition signed by the majority of the residents on Boston Street requesting the extension of sanitary sewer and water. The City Council included Concord Street in this study because it would be the last block not served by public utilities in this area. A neighborhood informational meeting was held on October 22, 2002. Information was provided to those in attendance regarding the concept for extension of utilities and reconstruction of the roadway. Those in attendance were asked to indicate their preference for proceeding with the feasibility study. A majority of those present on both streets were in favor of proceeding. Minutes of the informational meeting and the sign in sheet are provided in Appendix A. On November 12, 2002, the Elk River City Council adopted Resolution 02-103 authorizing Howard R. Green Company to prepare a Feasibility Study for the Boston Street and Concord Street Utility and Street Improvement Project in the City of Elk River. II. PROJECT SCOPE This study will discuss the existing conditions, proposed improvements, estimated construction costs, and overhead costs, which include city administration, engineering, fiscal, and legal expenses. The City's Assessment Manual and past practices will be used as guidelines to discuss financing methods for the proposed improvements.
