Mayor Strommen delivered the State of the City Address. 3. CITIZEN INPUT Eric Zaetsch, 6125 154 Avenue NW, addressed Consent Agenda Item 4:07, Resolution calling for a Public Hearing on the intention to issue General Obligation Street Reconstruction Plan Bonds. He stated his concern related to the cost of utility extensions to large lots. Mr. Zaetsch stated he was assured by staff that the process to reconstruct the roads will be in -kind replacing with no indirect insinuation of sewer and water into neighborhoods that do not have it. He believed older established neighborhoods want to stay as they are. He asked that Council be aware of these concerns and to state the assurances relating to sewer and water when talking to other citizens. He added it seems wise to emphasize that this is not a part of the plan and by doing that, you will disarm any of those worries. Mayor Strommen thanked Mr. Zaetsch for bringing his concern forward. She stated Council is aware of these concerns and thanked Mr. Zaetsch for the reminder to be clear. She stated it took much longer than she had hoped — or than anyone had hoped - to figure out how to move forward with our street maintenance program and the last thing we want to do is jeopardize that by piling on other unintended consequences. She again expressed appreciation for Mr. Zaetsch for bringing forward his concern and for clarifying. 4.
