It was stated that at this point the City was looking at assessing residents for the improvements on a per unit basis. The question was asked if a resident already had public sewer and water because their property was also adjacent to Orono Road if they would be assessed for the installation of utilities. Kristie stated that if the project progressed to the feasibility study, the City would look at assessing all residents for the street improvements and possibly assessing only those currently without utilities for the extension of the sanitary sewer and watermain. It was also stated that there would be additional costs associated with the project. These included a sewer and water hook-up fee, the cost of running services from the road fight-of-way to the home, abandoning the septic system and well, and a monthly charge for usage. Kristie noted that if the project were completed, residents would have two years from the time the utilities were available to hook-up or the City would automatically charge the property owner the hook-up fees and start charging a monthly user fee. Residents along Mississippi Road asked if it would be possible to extend utilities to serve their property in conjunction with the project. Kfistie noted that this could be included in the feasibility study if enough interest was expressed. Kristie asked for a consensus of those present regarding their interest in this project. Those present indicated their general acceptance of proceeding to the feasibility stage of the project. They were asked to indicate their interest on the sign-in sheet. A map noting the responses is attached. Kfistie stated this information would be provided to the City Council at an upcoming meeting. If it was determined by Council that a feasibility study would be undertaken, notice would be provided to the residents. The Kristie thanked those present for taking the time to discuss this project with staff. The meeting was adjourned.
