Jan Pomeroy, 5430 -155th Lane NW, provided the results of the Goodland Green Subdivision survey. She stated she did not promote or push this effort, and was not out campaigning. She only communicated the proposal for City water and sewer. Ms. Pomeroy provided a copy of a map identifying how each property voted. She noted there are two properties who voted for, two did not vote and 14 said no. Lot 16 was not available for comment. She stated she and George said they did not want City water and wanted to improve the communication between the City and residents. City Engineer Olson explained that at the Public Works Committee meeting last Tuesday, they talked about this issue and questions were raised on how much sewer and water would cost. He stated he calculated a rough estimate and about $90,000 would be savedl Some restoration will be needed for the trunk sewer improvements to 155th Lane and the remaining pavement would be about $87,000 to replace, watermain about $150,000, and Sanitary sewer about $115,000 to install or total over $400,000. That is where Jan Pomeroy got the numbers to bring to the residents. He noted this is about $21,000 per resident to hook up if 100% of the cost is assessed, if it was done now, and it would include restoration. He explained that at the informational meeting a discussion started about having sewer and water installed when the streets are being ripped up. Councilmember Hendriksen stated he is not sure how it included talk of putting sewer down !,55th Lane and asked if there were other options. He stated there needs to be an outlet from the final plat under discussion and asked if that is how it happened. City Council/July 23, 2002 Page 10 of 30 -75-
