dealing with same. The Board also adopted a Fire Department Attendance Policy, to become effective July 1, 1995. The services provided by the Fire Department were discussed and consensus of the Board was to maintain current service levels with medical response but to not increase the service level. Discussion also ensued regarding response time and possibly looking at the new Public Works building location as a f'u'e station. The report was accepted by Council. No further action was necessary. Case #16: Report from Road and Bridge Committee City Engineer Jankowski reported that the fa'st case discussed by the Road and Bridge Committee was the Bison Street paving. The purpose of the case was to gain input from the Commission so if a petition was circulated, the number of benefited parties would be determined. It was decided that the number of benefitted lots is six. Council agreed that the benefitted number of lots is six. The second item for discussion was the Trunk Highway g47 Corridor Study. Consensus of the Committee was that Mr. Jankowski should draft the study and define the scope. Council agreed that Mr. Jankowski should continue to work on the scope for the Trunk Highway g47 Corridor Study and that he indicate where the money should come from to pay for this study. Mr. Jankowski explained that thc third issue discussed was Transportation Impact Fees. It was directed at the City Council workshop to review such fees. We found that several communities extract the fee from developers. The alternative would be to deal with this on a case by case basis. Consensus of Council was that Staff should pursue developing an impact fee approach to funding improvements on streets. The consensus was to do it via ordinance. 'They also directed that Mr. Jankowski solicit ordinances from other communities and bring the issue back to Council. Case #18: Adopt Resolution Receiving Petition and Calling for a Feasibility Study on Improvement Project #95-14 (Municipal Sanitary Sewer and Water Extension' to Haubrich Addition) City Administrator Schroeder stated it is the normal course of events when the City receives a petition, adopting a resolution receiving it and ordering preparation of plans and specifications is placed on the Consent Agenda. Even though this was a controversial project, it's a standard form. If Council passes this resolution, you are receiving the petition and ordering a feasibility study; it's not stating that the City is for or against anything. When the Engineer comes back with it, the neighborhood can petition against it. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired how many owners are involved to which City Engineer Jankowski replied there are six properties and five owners. Councilmember Beyer inquired how many lots are built on to which Mr. Schroeder replied five. Upon inquiry, Mr. Jankowski stated that this is the entire subdivision.
