2) Update of Storm Water Utility Implementation City Engineer Jankowski stated the staff reported that the storm water utility ordinance will take effect March 6, 2000, and that the first quarter billing would best be delayed. The Committee directed that the first quarter billing be either incorporated into the second quarter billing or be eliminated, depending on the logistics and cost associated with the billing process. The Committee also provided direction and/or concurrence with staff on several technical points relative to the implementation of the utility, specifically as it would pertain to non-residential customers. 3) Update on Year 2000 Construction Projects City Engineer Jankowski stated that this case identified the thirteen separate contracts for construction improvements that will be undertaken in 2000. Several of these contracts include multiple projects. For example, the 2000 Street Maintenance Program and the Storm Sewer Improvement 2000 involve seven individual improvement projects. All but two of the thirteen projects have been initiated, with either plans and specifications being prepared currently in a mandatory 60-day moratorium period. The..two uninitiated projects need to have consultants selected soon. The Committee was also presented with a staff proposal to add an additional storm water project that would provide storm sewer to the intersection of 142nd Avenue and Gennaniuln and Fluorine Streets. The cost of this project is estimated at $72,500, and would be financed by the storm water utility. The Flintwood subdivision streets are scheduled for a biturninous overlay, and this storm sewer should be installed before the overlay since it will greatly improve the longevity of the pavements in those two intersections. The Committee recommended the addition of this project in the Storm Sewer Improvement 2000 project. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to approve the addition of the Flintwood Storm Sewer to the Storm Sewer Improvement 2000 projects. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Cormolly, Anderson, and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. 4) Report on T.H. #47 Surplus Property Councilmember Zimmerman stated that staff reported advertising the sale of surplus properties acquired for the T.H. #47 STP project. Interest was expressed from two parties: Lord of Life Church is interested in purchasing the former Elke property and an Erkium Street resident expressed interest in obtaining a strip of property adjacent to their rear yard for the purpose of extending the size of their backyard. The Committee recommended that the Elke property be offered to Lord of Life Church in the amount that the City pays the Church for parcels 3, 4, and 6. The Committee also directed staffto contact all the adjacent properties that have the potential for having their backyards extended by the transfer of Surplus Parcel 3.
