Approve Resolution R2019-017.

On August 8, 2018, City Council ordered the feasibility report for the 2019 Street & Utility Reconstruction Project. The report was completed and accepted by City Council on January 22, 2019. The proposed project includes reconstructing the following streets:

• Scott Street from 4th Avenue to 6th Avenue
• Minnesota Street from 4th Avenue south to the cul-de-sac
• 7th Avenue from Sommerville Street to Spencer Street

On February 12, 2019, an informational meeting was conducted for the property owners affected by the proposed project. The residents in attendance were provided an overview of the project; an opportunity to discuss the infrastructure design including sidewalks, street widths, trees and how far private services were being repaired; and the opportunity to provide additional information about their neighborhood and properties relative to the project.

In accordance with Minnesota Statute 429 and City Resolution R2019-017, a Public Hearing for the 2019 Street & Utility Reconstruction Project, CIF-19-003, is scheduled for this evening, February 19, 2019. Proper publication and notice for the improvement hearing have been provided.

City Council is recommended to conduct a public improvement hearing for the proposed improvements associated with the 2019 Street & Utility Reconstruction Project. Once the improvement hearing has been conducted, Council is recommended to consider ordering the improvements in accordance with Resolution R2019-017 and to prepare the plans and specifications for the 2019 Street & Utility Reconstruction Project. A presentation of the project will be made at the public improvement hearing.

This project is not a petitioned improvement; therefore, adoption of the resolution ordering the improvement requires a super-majority vote.

• Roadway construction, restoration and street lighting improvement costs ($819,000) are proposed to be split and paid by special assessments to the benefitting properties ($123,000) and ($696,000) out of the Capital Improvement Fund.
