I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 9, 1993 Page 4 Council Business. continued Rebelein asked if the funds would be limited to only improvements made to Long Lake Park. Benke said the current fund is not limited to Long Lake Park improvements and is set up to offset operating costs and provide funds for capital improvements in all City parks. Rebelein feels it is important that all the parks are included in funding program. Anderson said the name is misleading because the funds do not go into Long Lake Park improvements, the funding is applied to City park improvements. Rebelein suggested the fund be renamed to the New Brighton Park Fund. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere has created a number of similar municipal tax exempt fund programs for other cities and found that a tremendous amount of funds were raised. He felt it would not be necessary to set up a separate foundation.

City Engineer Les Proper presented the feasibility study for North Innsbruck Drive Street Reconstruction Project 93-2. The project consists of the reconstruction of North Innsbruck Drive between Silver Lake Road and the west city limits. Reconstruction will include the removal and replacement of the existing bituminous surfacing and curb and sidewalk repair. Staff determined that it is more desirable to replace the street with new bituminous surfacing. North Innsbruck Drive is a Municipal State Aid street and the reconstruction is proposed to be financed with MSA funds. The estimated project costs would be $116,900, and the majority will come from MSA funds. However, an amount of $10,700 would be special assessed to the abutting lots, and represents about $210 per lot. An informational meeting was held and the residents present seemed to be in favor of the project. It is proposed that the Improvement Hearing be held on March 23rd.
