Neither indicated support f~~• ar against the pxo~ect. If'the its council feels it is appropriate to wove forward with this street ~{econs~.•uc~.on project at this ti~.e, I have attached a resolution ordering the preli..nai-y feasibility report. since this is a city-~ii~itiated project, it requires a super ~r~ajority of the ~it~ ~auncil to adopt this resolu~.on. If' this project moves forward, Y would suggest that it follow the typical schedule that the overlay in~prove~nents have followed in previous years. That schedule would provide for the preparation. o£ plans and specifications and bidding of the project before holding a public hearing~assessnaent healing on the same evening, probably late in July, so that an actual bid will be available a~.d the public and City Council will l~now exactly what the bid price is fox the project.
