7.06: Consider Adoption of Resolution #18-218 Accepting Feasibility Report for <br /> Improvement Project#18-02, HY-10 Ramsey Street Reconstructions <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #18- <br /> 218 accepting Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #18-02 HY-10 Ramsey Street <br /> Reconstructions, along with staff's recommendation to shelve the project until such time that it is <br /> no longer needed or the adjacent property owners request that the streets be repaired. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that the property owners provided input and do not want to move <br /> forward on the project and therefore he supports the recommendation of staff. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #18-218 Accepting Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #18-02, HY-10 Ramsey Street <br /> Reconstructions and accept the recommendation of staff to shelve the project until such time that <br /> it is no longer needed or the adjacent property owners request that the streets be repaired. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember Riley stated that shelving this project is more than a result of <br /> the landowners asking not to move forward. He explained that this area is ripe for <br /> redevelopment and therefore the City was already trying to do this project as cheap as possible. <br /> He stated that when the landowners asked the City to wait for the redevelopment that seemed to <br /> make sense. Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that part of the City process allows for a group of <br /> landowners to object to the project and stop it and asked if the City is following the process <br /> appropriately and consistently. City Engineer Westby explained that this situation is different as <br /> the City expects redevelopment to happen in this area based on the evidence of all the properties <br /> that are for sale. He stated that when redevelopment occurs, the streets will not be in the same <br /> configuration. He stated that in the residential neighborhood the roads were not being <br /> reconfigured, the City was simply trying to maintain the residential roadway. Acting Mayor <br /> LeTourneau stated that his concern is not with the reasoning but whether a project would be <br /> verbally petitioned in the future when the policy requires written petition. City Engineer Westby <br /> appreciated the input and stated that staff will take that input. He stated that in this situation staff <br /> believes that this is the right recommendation. Acting Mayor LeTourneau agreed that this would <br /> not be a good use of City resources. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Kuzma, Johns, <br /> Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: None. <br /> 7.07: Consider Adoption of Resolution #18-219 Accepting Feasibility Report and <br /> Ordering Public Hearing for Improvement Project #19-01, Ford Brook Estates <br /> Street Reconstructions <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #18- <br /> 219 accepting the Feasibility Report and ordering a public hearing for November 13, 2018 for <br /> Improvement Project#19-01, Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions.
