"ity of <br /> <br />M£MORANDLIM <br /> <br />Item//3.7. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br />Pat Klaers, C~ty mstrator <br /> <br />February 14, 2000 <br /> <br />Consider Gary Martin Reimbursement Request <br /> <br />In 1998 and 1999, the City Council discussed the Gary Martin driveway and <br />trucking operation at a number of meetings. In 1999, the city gave Mr. Martin <br />permission to construct a driveway from County Road 32 since he had received <br />county permission for this access. Following this city approval, Mr. Martin <br />incurred expenditures for material and equipment for the driveway <br />construction. After this expenditure and construction activity, the city required <br />that the driveway be removed and indicated to Mr. Martin that city permission <br />for the construction was given in error because all of the facts and sequence of <br />events were not clearly known. As a result of all this activity, Mr. Martin has <br />requested reimbursement from the city for his expenses incurred for the <br />driveway construction. The request submitted was for $673.39. <br /> <br />Since Mr. Martin proceeded with mistaken permission by the city, it is staffs <br />collective opinion that some reimbursement to Mr. Martin is appropriate. <br />Street Superintendent Phil Hals has been discussing this issue with Mr. <br />Martin and has negotiated payment by the city in the amount of $428.39. Phil <br />has obtained documentation from Mr. Martin that these are accurate <br />expenditures and, essentially, the city split two of the requested expenditures <br />and will pay a third. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that by using city street reserve funds, the city reimburse <br />Gary Martin $428.39 for materials and equipment rental for the construction <br />of his driveway in 1999. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
