Council~ber Reimann added that there is monc~7 being spent out <br />of the City's General Fund for blacktop mainteP~nce, other than sealcoating, <br />and in the future Council is going to have to consider increasing the budget <br />to include sealcoating o0sts. <br /> <br />Lester Martin - 164th and Quartz - Stated that people with gravel roads are <br />penalizing the rest of the City because City residents have to drive on those <br />roads -- when is 167th and Saphire, between Variolite and Quartz, going to be <br />paved? Those streets are oosting the City more than the blacktop streets are. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilme~ber Cox and seconded by Councilmember Schlueter to adjourn <br />this public hearing. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Lester Martin requested that Council an~er his question <br />regarding the paving of 167th and Saphire. F~yor }~eitman stated that those <br />areas will be paved when the residents petition for it. Mr. Jack Ippel stated <br />that the portion of 167th in question was to have been included in the Jaspar <br />area blacktopping project but was excluded for sc[ne reason. Mr. Ippel stated <br />that that section of 167th is in terrible condition and it should be upgraded <br />as it is an access to the shopping area further down 167th. Councilm~r <br />Schlueter stated that this section of 167th has been addressed by Council in <br />previous years; there is a large property owner on that stretch of 167th who <br />proved no benefit from blacktop and no assessment; on that basis Council <br />decided against blacktopping that section. Councilme~ber Cox irguired if MSA <br />funds oould be used for that road. Mr. Schnelle stated that designating that <br />section of 167th as MSA would involve carrying that MSA route through that <br />develolm~nt and tying it into Variolite which does not seem feasible <br />oonsidering the soil oonditions there and Ramsey's overall MSA pattern.
