He inquired if the <br />developer could come back to the City and request reimbursement for the study. City Attorney <br />Goodrich replied that the developer could ask, but it would have to go before the Council and he <br />did not think there would be any contractual basis for the City to authorize the request. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Elvig, Cook, and Pearson. <br />Voting No: Councilmembers Kurak and Zimmerman. <br /> <br />3) Update on Potential Projects South of City Hall <br />The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council schedule a public hearing for <br />the proposed improvements, send out a copy of the updated feasibility studies for the three <br />projects to the respective residents and initiate negotiations with the appropriate homeowners to <br />acquire the easements necessary to complete the projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that some of the landowners in Pondvale Estates have been <br />opposed to the improvements in the past, but if they come forward in favor of the project he <br />could vote for it. <br /> <br />Dan Murphy, 150th Lane, Pondvale Estates, Ramsey, stated that he has talked to his neighbors <br />regarding the project and he believes that there is a majority of the property owners, in favor of <br />the project. If the project is approved he will immediately sell his two additional lots and so will <br />his neighbor. <br /> <br />City Council/June 10, 2003 <br />Page 19 of 24 <br /> <br />P69 <br /> <br /> <br />
