He stated that he also recalls that there were <br />a few options last time, one included putting in City sewer and water since the City was already <br />there which caused confusion among the residents that this was something the City was trying to <br />force people into. He stated that he wants to make certain there are enough signatures and <br />people are aware that this is something that the residents are asking for and not something the <br />City is forcing on them. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated that he did not bring a copy of the petition, but thinks the <br />signatures were around 70%. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look asked how many homes on these streets have paved driveways because if <br />they are unpaved and just track dirt onto a paved street it could cause problems. He asked if the <br />residents could make a commitment to paving their driveways as part of the project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that this will be included in the discussion on whether it makes <br />sense to move forward with the project or not. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Linton II stated that paving is done to the edge of the right of way line to help <br />protect the edge of the streets. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Jeffrey, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to receive the petition <br />and direct staff to prepare a feasibility study for the bituminous paving of 151st Avenue, 152nd <br />Avenue, and Fluorine Street and that it be reviewed by the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councihnembers Jeffrey, Elvig, Dehen, Look, <br />Olson, and Strommen.. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #5: <br /> <br />Consider Policy for Construction use of Sidewalks in Ramsey Town Center <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated that the streetscape in Ramsey Town Center is about 90% <br />completed. He noted that the trash receptacles and benches should be here by the end of the <br />month. He stated that this policy was presented at the Public Works meeting on June 17, 2008. <br /> <br />City Council / July 8, 2008 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br />P42 <br />
