<br />Chairperson Elvig asked staff to look at other properties in that area for sale to obtain a baseline <br />price for the properties. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone believed the Council needed to determine what alignment should be <br />used. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson responded it would be good to know the Council's intent with <br />respect to alignment prior to contacting the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig noted it was important to have this area accessible to Central Park also. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig stated he had an issue with homes emptying out onto a State Aid Road on <br />Willemite. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone agreed with Chairperson Elvig. <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer responded they could realign this road to the west side of the properties <br />and Willemite would become a frontage road. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson stated staff would bring more clarification on the Commission's <br />questions and concerns to the next meeting. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Indemnification of Property Owner Installed Septic Systems <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen did not believe the City had any liability for a private septic systems and <br />he did not know why there was the need for an indemnification agreement. He asked staff to <br />obtain the City Attorney's opinion regarding why an indemnification agreement was needed. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Nelson noted there were risks regarding contaminating the <br />groundwater with septic systems if septic systems were allowed to be installed by individuals. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone stated because a septic system was dealing with raw sewage, he was <br />okay with requiring indemnification agreements. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Chairperson Elvig, to recommend that the <br />City Council direct staff to have the City Attorney review the issue of indemnification of <br />property owner installed septic systems and prepare for the repeal of Section 8.30.03(c) of the <br />City Code. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Dehen stated he would be opposing the motion because he <br />needed further information. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
