Councilmember Zimmerman mentioned 153/155. His concern is now that we have #116 <br />to Armstrong Boulevard built; we should maybe take some more traffic counts. <br /> <br />Extension of Sunwood by the landfill was discussed. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec pointed out that the Pollution Control Agency might be putting a hold on <br />development of that property because of groundwater and soil testing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman wasn't certain that a road would be considered <br />development. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec did not want to spend any money on roads if the City would not able to <br />develop in the area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated he has noticed more traffic on #116. <br /> <br />Councilmember-elect Hendriksen interjected that the need for 153rd drops a bit if we get a <br />second fire station. <br /> <br />Discussion turned to park improvements - specifically Community Park #5. Mr. Norman <br />noted that has been moved up to the year 1999. Some of the funding sources have been <br />changed and some of the fees/funding are unknown at this point. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman made the statement that this CIP is a plan - a working document - not <br />something carved in stone. Staff is encouraging Council to adopt the CIP - knowing that <br />it is just this - a working document. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired about the funding for Community Park #5. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman responded that staff is proposing a bond. The owner of this property wants <br />to settle this year. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested it is important to obtain the land so we should focus on ways to <br />make this land purchase. <br /> <br />Again, Mr. Norman stated that no project is necessarily approved by the adoption of the <br />CIP. It is just a plan. It is subject to change. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that since the property owner of the area for the proposed Community <br />Park #5 is anxious to settle this year, he would like to place this issue on a subsequent <br />Council agenda for action. He felt it was the consensus of the Council that this item is a <br />"go-ahead". <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman felt that the consensus is to get the land but there is still <br />questions about the funding sources. <br /> <br />Council Work Session/November 30, 1998 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
