I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 8, 1994 Page 3 Council Business City Engineer Les Proper presented the feasibility study for street reconstruction Project 94-3. This project includes the reconstruction of 3.30 miles of residential streets in the Belair neighborhood. These streets have been identified in the City's Comprehensive Street Plan as needing replacement in 1994. Streets where concrete curbing will be replaced would be assessed at $1,137 per lot. The assessment rates for streets which involve the repairing of the concrete curbing would be assessed at $814 per lot. On February 23rd an informational meeting was held with residents. Samuelson verified that the majority of the residents were in favor of the project and felt the improvements were needed. Motion by Williams, seconded by Gunderman, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPI' THE RESOLUTIONS ACCEPf THE FEASmILITY STUDY AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 94-3, STREET RECONSTRUCTION. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Finance Director Margaret Egan presented for consideration authorization for increased meter reading by City personnel. The Finance Department has been coordinating a project to install remotes on single family residence water meters. The remotes allow water usage information to be obtained from outside the home. This project was an important undertaking as ease of access is critical to support the winter quarter usage policy. Single family residences were the primary target of the project and represent about 90% of the current 5,600 municipal accounts. At this time, only 150 accounts remain without the upgrade. Williams asked if special arrangements would be made for those remaining accounts which either refused installation or the upgrade was impractical. Egan said it is proposed that a minimum $15 charge be applied every time a read is required when access is denied or for those customers who refused installation of the remote. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING AND AOOPI' THE RESOLUTION AUTIlORIZING INCREASED METER READING BY CITY PERSONNEL. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried.

Those activities include printing of the housing study and sealcoating which totalled $60,200.
