Motion by Councilmember Phillips, seconded by Councilmember Burg to approve the Consent Agenda as amended 5 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried Public Hearing 1. Consideration of Ordinances for the dissolution of the existing 14 parcel Bicentennial Storm Sewer Improvement Tax District and the creation of a new 10 parcel Bicentennial Storm Sewer Improvement Tax District. Report No. 10-235. Director of Public Works Wyffels explained that the district was established in April 2002 to fund two separate projects; the district was renewed in 2007. In December 2009 Council was asked to consider revising the boundaries, as several residents were dissatisfied with the district. On July 13, 2010, at a Council Work Session, staff provided information to the Council regarding history, how the district boundaries were established, project funding, and the recent reluctance of some of the neighbors to continue on with the district. An overview of the area depicting the water flow in the area was displayed. The district consists of 14 parcels currently, with a proposed 10 parcel district (properties that physically abut the pond.) The annual financial increase is estimated to be $57.00 for the ten parcels. Two public hearings are proposed to be held back-to-back for ordinances related to the Bicentennial Pond storm sewer improvement tax district. The first public hearing will be for an ordinance considering the dissolution of the existing 14 parcel storm sewer improvement tax district. The second public hearing will be for an ordinance considering the creation of a new 10 parcel storm sewer improvement tax district. Councilmember Phillips questioned if the levy would be approved at this meeting. City Attorney LeFevere explained if a project was to be completed in 2011, the current 14 parcels would be levied; however council has determined not to do a project in 2011. Mayor Jacobsen opened the Public Hearing at 6:53 pm. Greg Pinner, 2170 Bicentennial Ct. reported originally the district was established to address algae, questioned the responsibility that may be placed on the remaining ten parcels. City Manager Lotter clarified this action was only to redefine the district, not to address projects on the pond. City Attorney LeFevere explained another Pubic Hearing would be held prior to any additional project being completed on the pond. Mr. Pirner suggested dissolving the district, and not creating a second district. Councilmember Burg stated earlier in the year a resident of the taxing district approached the council asking them to reconsider the district. Shelby Eckman 2170 Bicentennial Ct. stated the odor is strongest in the spring.
