received, and after City Attorney review as to form and content of the petition, order preparation <br />of the feasibility study considering the extension of urban services to those petitioning properties. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig noted the Committee discussed that it would be worth <br />informing people in the surrounding area about this petition, as there may be people nearby that <br />do not even know this request exists. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained there <br />would be a public hearing, and property owners within 350 feet of the pipe would be notified. <br />These properties would have the ability to add into the'request. He advised if 50 percent of the <br />people along this pipeline counter this project, the project cannot go forward. Mayor Gamec <br />noted this is a mature neighborhood with a lot of failing systems. Assistant Public Works <br />Director Olson advised if sewer and water is extended past a property and they do not choose to <br />be part of the assessment they would still pay lateral benefit charges if they choose to hook up in <br />the future. The lateral benefit charge might be more than the assessment cost. Councilmember <br />Elvig noted it may be cheaper for these residents to hook up now, rather than pay the lateral <br />charge in the future. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
