is intended to be a balance of rural and urban and there is no need to sit for a length of time in a <br />left turn lane when there is no other traffic coming. He commented that the left turn arrows should <br />be flashing yellow at all times. <br />Tom Heineman, 8239 155th Lane, stated that in 2017 there was a discussion before the Council <br />related to overlays and replacement of City roads. He stated that there has been a lot of discussion <br />related to franchise fees. He stated that he paid his assessment and asked why he is still being <br />charged a franchise fee as well. <br />City Administrator Ulrich commented that the policy the Council adopted allowed for an annual <br />rebate of the amount a resident would have paid for a franchise fee if they were charged an <br />assessment previously. <br />Mayor Kuzma commented that he believed the policy went back five years for assessments paid <br />and asked when the resident was charged an assessment. <br />Mr. Heineman commented that his assessment was in 2019. He stated that he does not believe <br />that applying for a rebate is fair as that simply provides the City with an interest free loan. He <br />stated that his request is for a refund or for a list of all the residents that paid and did not receive <br />their money back. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that there is a procedure setup to allow the resident to get his <br />money back for the remaining life of the assessment. <br />Mr. Heineman stated that he would then ask for an interest free loan for ten years. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that the policy is setup to allow residents to receive the <br />franchise fee back each year as it is paid. <br />Councilmember Specht asked if the idea of the flashing yellow lights could be added to a future <br />worksession agenda. <br />4.
