existing service area. The Council has been provided with the compiled comments tha have <br />been received relative to the alignment. The action tonight is to determine how to complete the <br />process of selecting a prefen'ed alignment within the next few weeks. <br /> <br />Dave Martini of Bolten and Menk advised that before proceeding to the next step of additional <br />detail thc preferred alignment must be determined. Direction is being requested from the Council <br />on how to proceed and what kind of public involvement should be involved in making that <br />decision. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted it was indicated that the City would talk to the affected property owners <br />after an alignment is chosen. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained staff is not asking for a decision on an <br />aIigmnent tonight. Staff does not feel any of the concerns expressed relative to the preferred <br />alignments would sway the recommendation. He inquired if the direction of the Council would <br />be to bring forward a preferred alignment for a decision by the Council, and to meet with the <br />prope~ty owners that are directly affected after that decision is made to inform them about the <br />acquisition process and construction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen asked if there would be public comment at the point when the <br />Council makes a decision regarding the preferred alignment. She suggested the residents that <br />attended the open house be notified when this topic will be on the Council agenda. <br /> <br />The Council discussed whether the residents should be notified when this topic will be on the <br />Council agenda or whether the residents should be notified after the preferred alternative is <br />determined. The Council further discussed whether the residents notified should be restricted to <br />those att'ected by the alignment or all of the residents that attended the open house. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stressed that all of the attendants that attended the open house should <br />be notified when this topic will be on the Council agenda. She stated this is a major process and <br />these residents are interested in the process. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to direct staff to schedule an agenda item for the Council to <br />determine a preferred alignment. Following the Council's determination, two letters will be <br />drafted. One letter would be distributed to property owners that attended the open house <br />informing them that their route was not chosen and informing them of the informational meeting. <br />The other letter would be to the affected property owners informing them that their route has <br />been chosen and informing them of the informational meeting. <br /> <br />4A) Second and Third Tiers of Town Center <br /> <br />City Ad~ninistrator Norman distributed a sketch plan by Pulte Homes in relation to the second <br />and third tiers of Town Center.
