The reasons for considering this project are several-fold. First, the extension of the watermain to County Road 116 would complete a looping of the watermain serving the Wood Pond Projects. Secondly, the roadway along Magnesium Street is very close to the elevation of the pond and is succeptable to periodic flooding. Third, the proximity of the road base to the ground water elevation will likely cause this segment of roadway to require higher than normal maintenance. Finally, improvement to the project at this time should be less costly since it can be performed in conjunction with the larger Wood Ponds project. Administrative costs at a later date can be expected to be considerably higher. Mr. Jankowski's analysis shows that the construction cost for watermain, sanitary sewer, roadway and restoration would be $55,500. If the project were performed at this time with minimal administrative costs, each of the four benefitting properties would be need to be assessed $18,569 which would include all hook-up fees. If this project were done at a later time with a similar construction cost, a higher administrative cost would increase the per lot cost to $22,094. Mr. Jankowski suggested that as an incentive to the property owners, the City might consider absorbing some of the costs of the project. Specifically, Mr. Jankowski suggested that approximately $28,000 of the construction cost be attributed to the need for watermain looping and be borne by the water trunk fund. This would reduce per lot assessment to approximately $11,055. The consensus of the committee was to contact the attached four property owners to get a reading on their interest in the project. Case #3: General Discussion of Status of County Improvement Projects. This case was tabled due to lack of time. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Steven J.
