City Council meeting minutes
May 3, 1982
Councilman Backes wondered if this type of request for industrial revenue
bonds was within City guidelines for these projects. especially in light
of the fact that the funds are mainly for the purchase of an existing
structure and that anyone could apply for bonds who wanted to redo an
existing structure.
The City Manager agreed saying this was a fine line between a vacant
structure and new construction.
It was moved by Councilman Hanks, seconded by Councilman Backes, to
continue the matter to May 17, 1982 and refer it to City staff for an
analysis of how this type of project fits into the City's guidelines for
approval of industrial revenue bond financing.
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Martin opposed)�.
6d. Ottawa/Princeton project; Impr.ovement project 82-11: Ottawa/Princeton
Resolution No. 7123 . street project
Bernard Goldblatt, 2850 Princeton Ave.passeiout a sheet labeled Cost
Comparison Project 82-11. He said the least costly benefit to both the
City and the residents had not been explored, that is, doing no work to
the street until it is absolutely necessary which, in his opinion, is not
at this time. He said Princeton is not heavily traveled and the assessment
would be a hardship for the young couples starting out and the seniors who
live on the street. His suggestion was to bank the necessary funds in a
high interest account, and when the time comes tl�at the street requires
improvement, all the necessary fundinq will be available.
Mayor McQuaid said if the City used that theo.ry, it would certainly have
a nice bank balance and lots of bad streets. She said the philosophy of
the Council is that all taxpayers pay for all improvements.
The Mayor read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. John Knutson, 2901 Ottawa Ave.
who were unable to be present at the public hearing. They voiced their
desire for a permanent, 20-year guarantee street improvement.
Allan Baumgarten asked what would happen if the permanent reconstruction
takes place and the water,main later needs to be replaced.
The Director of Public Works said in staff's opinion the main shouid last
for 20-30 years, but should it break, it would be repaired at the City's
expense.
Mr. Baumgarten said the �16.00 per foot assessment rate represents 75�
of the cost of the project and that previous atten�pts to keep the resi�ents'
share at 60� were easier to swallow.
Mayor McQuaid said that was in error. She said that even though construction
costs might inCrease, the assessed rate remains at $16.00 per front foot.
Counci]man Hanks said that in previous years, residents paid 100X of the
-121- �

City Council meeting minutes
May 3, 1982
imp�ovement costs but that over the years it has worked down to their
picking up around 75% of the costs.
Mark Bloom,2817 Princeton, asked that alternative N1 be chosen and re-
construction of the street be consi�dered in the future.
Dick Koch, 2809 Ottawa Ave. complimented the City staff on its �rork. He
said he formerly lived on a street that was reconstructed and after 15 years,
it was in very good shape, and recomnended that the reconstruction project
be selected. Ne asked for substantiation from the City Assessor that lo-
income persons can receive assistance in paying their assessment, that
seniors can qualify for assistance and that the finished street would be
26 feet in width.
The City Assessor replied in the affirmative to all three questions.
Mr. Koch said that the construction as planned would probably allow flooding
of his driveway which was recently reconstructed, but that would not deter
his support af a full reconstruc.tion project.
h1r. Marvin Marshak, 2855 Ottawa, urged selection of alternative �l and that
the concerned residents in attendance be polled as to their desire.
Councilman Hanks said in reference to Mr. Goldblatt's financing plan, he
would not go along with any attempt to create a sinking fund for this
project when so many other citizens have paid in the past.
Councilman Martin complimented Mr. Goldblatt on his creative thinking but
suggested he convince the residents to set up their own account and oversee
it as the City was certainly in no position to do so on one or any project.
He pointed out who could say how much more this project might cost in
15 years.
Councilman Qackes pointed out this project had been a part of the Capital
Improvement Program for some five years.
There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing
closed with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a
future date.
It was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilman Strohl, to waive
reading and adopt Resolutio� No. 1123 entitled, "Resolution ordering im-
provement, ordering preparation of plans and authorizing advertisement for
bids for Improvement No. 82-11: Princeton/Ottawa reconstruction."
The motion passed 7-�.

May 3, 19$2
It was moved by Councilman Hanks, seconded by Councilman Backes, to
proceed with the project at an assessed rate of $4.00 per front foot to
residents an� full cost to comnercial property owners.
Councilman Martin asked what amount the City was to bear, to which the
City Manager replied �30,000.
Councilman Martin said he was uncomfortable with such a high assessment
to the residents. Ne felt that vehicle traffic on Louisiana will be a
greater benefitter than the residents of improved lighting.
Councilman Backes asked if he wished to amend the motion.
It was moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman RaTles, to amend
the motion to be $3.00 per front foot assessment.
The City Manager pointed out that if the assessment is under 25 percent
of the total cost of the project, the City can't apply for funding by
selling bonds.
In answer to Councilman Martin's question if �3.00 would be sufficient�,
the City Assessor said it would.
Councilman Hanks said the residents north of �4innetonka are already being
assessed $5.00 per front foot. '
Councilntan Martin said his proposal at $3.00 per front foot would be unfair,
and he withdrew his amendment to the motion.
Councilman Strohl reiterated the comments of the residents in that this
is not the time to do the project, it's mainly for decoration and that the
vehicular traffic gets all the benefits. '
Councilman Ralles disagreed stating everyone benefits from this type of
improvement. �
In answer to a question from Councilman Martin regarding the figures for
relocating the wires, the City Manager said it was approximately $147,000.
Dick Loftus, neighborhood resident, said he had been in contact with NSP
and he wanted to point out that all wires and poles are not to be removed,
that poles will remain on 27th, 28th and 29th Street corners as they serve
as feeders to the east, west and alleys.
Councilman �4artin said this project was not being proposed for reasons of
glamorizing the neighborhood specifically, but its more dramatic energy
cost savings.
On a call for the question, the motion was passed 6-1 (Councilman Strohl
opposed) and Resolution No. 7124 adopted, entitled "Resolution ordering
improvement, ordering preparation of plans anrl authorizing advertisement
ror bids, Improvement No. 82-32, Louisiana Avenue street lighting."
