be no additional costs to the homeowners. He explained if the Council adopts the assessment role, no further costs will be passed on to the residents. Councilmember McGlone inquired how the contract was written and what the expectation is by the homeowners. City Engineer Himmer answered it is a 1.5" overlay. The bids are by weight and the information is put into a spec sheet as quantities for each project and, from there, calculations are made. Councilmember McGlone questioned if there is an issue in bidding things out, or if there is a language issue. City Engineer Himmer responded the amount of inches could change because getting 100% uniformity is hard to do; the staff breaks out the quantities needed by specs. Public Works Director Olson stated it has been done both ways; both by the square yard and by the ton. If it is done by ton and an area basis, you have to push to get the 1.5 inches. If it is done by square yard, there could be an overage. He said he does not think the spec is written incorrectly. It is an issue of inspection and making sure staff is out there during the work. Public Works Director Olson noted this will be discussed at the Public Works Committee meeting. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Backous, to close the public hearing.
