feasible, necessary, and cost-effective, and whether they should be completed alone or in conjunction with other improvements. Estimated costs will also be explored in greater detail than what was used to estimate costs for the CIP. A more detailed project funding program will also be explored, including a description of the methodology used to calculate individual special assessments for benefiting parcels. A project schedule will also be proposed. While preparing the Feasibility Report, Staff will conduct public information meetings with identified benefiting property owners to explain the need for the proposed improvements, the scope of the improvements, estimated costs, proposed funding program, including the preliminary special assessments, and the proposed project schedule. The Feasibility Report will incorporate data that was gathered using Ground Penetrating Radar and soil borings. Staff anticipates requesting Council acceptance of the Feasibility Report on November 14, 2017, and ordering a Public Hearing for November 24, 2017, in accordance with Minnesota Statute, Chapter 429. This schedule will allow the project to proceed in a timely manner and to receive competitive bids in February of 2018.

Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #17-10-270 at this time. Funding Source: The Feasibility Report will be completed in-house as part of staff's regular duties.
