Case #1: <br /> <br />Public Hearing on Introduction of Ordinance on the Establishment of a <br />Special Service District for AUAR Roadway Improvements <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 7:20 p.m. in order to <br />conduct a public hearing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the public hearing to order at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Preseutation <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman indicated staff is asking for a continuation of this public hearing, as <br />they need to work with the developer. Secondly, there was some discussion that they may not <br />even require the special district. They are not asking to completely do away with the public <br />hearing, as it is a legal notification process and they would have to go to the expense again. At <br />this time staff is requesting a continuance. <br /> <br />Assistant ?ublic Works Director Olson indicated the map included in the Council's packet shows <br />three of the original roadway improvements that would be upgraded as part of the AUAR <br />completed in June of last year. All three of these roadways will be constructed with two lanes in <br />each direction and turn lanes at the major intersections. The reason cost information is not <br />included in this case is because it is a completely separate step to assign money to be levied with <br />this district. This is just one step to establish the district; the next step is to go through the <br />process to determine what is eligible for use within the district. The discussion in the past has <br />been that there is roughly in the 14 million dollar range of improvements that would be necessary <br />as part of this project. <br /> <br />Councihnember Kurak indicated it has come to her attention there are some major negotiations <br />that have been going on by the committee and she would like to be more involved with the <br />communication of what is going on. There are big enough changes to what' they consider the <br />Master Development Agreement that she thinks the whole Council should be more informed. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman replied this topic will be put on the agenda of a work session. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented the committee knows that anything that we do must be brought to the <br />Council. <br /> <br />Councihnember Kurak stated she would like the conversations with the developer to be geared <br />more towards Council and less towards committee. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained the developer will be at the work session discussion. <br /> <br />City Council/June 8, 2004 <br />Page 6 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
