incentive for one contractor with decent bid prices. He explained it is difficult to assess the financial impact or monitor the value without a complete inventory of the driveways. Staff is still in the process of that inventory. The information will be brought back to the Public Works Committee for further discussion. Councilmember Elvig indicated the recommendation of the Committee was to direct staff to continue working on the survey of dirt driveways and draft a policy for further consideration. He would add that there is one more element to this where there are dirt roads that have not been paved yet, and they may want to discuss adding an apron on those dirt roads up towards the main arterial roads. Public Works Director Olson indicated this will be included in the driveway inventory. 3) Update on Storm Water Improvements in Fox Ridge Estates Public Works Director Olson stated Project 07-03 of the 2007 Street Maintenance Program includes the seal coating and cracksealing of Fox Ridge Estates. In investijating drainage issues at the intersections of Potassium Street with Potassium Court and 172n Lane it has become apparent that storm sewer would be the best solution to resolving the drainage problems that exist along a 1,200 foot segment of roadway. The storm sewer installation will affect half of the 30 foot wide roadway and will not be able to be scheduled until mid to late August. It would, therefore, not be advisable to sealcoat this segment of street with the remainder of this subdivision. As a result of this elimination, four properties proposed for the sealcoat assessment will not receive sealcoating of any of their frontage in 2007 and another five properties will receive a partial sealing of their street frontage. The issue to be addressed is how these properties should be treated relative to assessments for the 2007 projram. The recommendation of the Committee was that the 15 properties along the area of 172n Lane and Potassium Street indicated in the map on page 144 would not be assessed for seal coating in 2007. One of those parcels is a City park, so 14 properties would be taken off the assessment rolls for the 2007 program and would put the on the 2008 program. There is some discussion about eliminating sealcoating assessments, so potentially these properties would not be assessed. Staff has prepared a letter informing the property owners that they will be removed from the 2007 assessment roll, and will hand deliver the letter tomorrow. The motion of the Committee was to recommend to City Council that 15 properties along the area of 172nd Lane and Potassium Street would not be assessed for sealcoating in 2007 due to a delay in the storm water improvement project, and that the properties would be included in the sealcoat assessments for the 2008 Street Maintenance Program following the completion of the storm sewer installation. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee in Case No. 3 and to authorize that 15 properties along the area of 172nd Lane and Potassium Street would not be assessed for sealcoating in 2007 due to a delay in the storm water improvement project, and that the properties would be included in the sealcoat assessments for the 2008 Street Maintenance Program following the completion of the storm sewer installation. Motion carried. V oting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Olson, Dehen, Jeffrey, Look, and Strommen. Voting No: None. City Council / July 10,2007 Page 19 of 24
