He requested also to raise <br />the overhead fees by two percent. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hardin to direct <br />that the City Engineer prepare a feasibility study for the 1995 Street Maintenance Program. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Couneilmember Zimmerman stated his motion intent was to include the <br />2% overhead increase. Couneilmember Peterson questioned what if six streets in a <br />subdivision need maintenance and two do not. He stated that sometimes a subdivision is <br />divided into two projects because some streets do not need the overlay, etc. He inquired at <br />what point could it become a separate project. Mr. Jankowski stated that if there is a logical <br />point to break it into two projects, it could be done. Councilmember Peterson inquired if <br />Council would be seeing this proposal again to which Mr. Jankowski replied he would be <br />bringing the feasibility study to the first Council meeting in January. Couneilmember <br />Peterson then inquired if Council would be looking at each project to determine if it should <br />be two separate projects. Counei!member Zimmerman stated that each year there's at least <br />one subdivision that gets agitated and does not want to get the maintenance done. We will <br />have to take that into consideration. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Hardin, <br />Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that thc second issue discussed was the assessment procedure. <br />Council agreed there should be a detailed written policy regarding same. He summarized <br />the draft policy for Council. <br /> <br />City Council/December 13, 1994 <br /> Page 15 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
