Proper said if a portion of the driveway is cut by the new street, it would be absorbed in the project cost, however, driveway and landscaping replacement is not included. Future actions will include a feasibility study and assessment hearing. Steve Stanford. 575 Fairfield Drive, asked if he will be assessed for future drainage issues.

Motion by Gunderman. seconded by Benke. to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT PL.194. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, (abstained Williams) Motion Carried. Finance Director Margaret Egan presented alternatives for purChase of optical election scanner, Redistricting created two Legislative Districts - 52A and 52B in New Brighton. Most residents are located in District 52B, while a small portion (west of Silver Lake Road) is in 52A. To accommodate the two districts. Precinct 7 was established and encompasses a portion of Precinct 4. For convenience and minimized cost, Pike Lake School is selected as the polling place for Precinct 7, in addition, Precinct 4 will also use Pike Lake. Pike Lake School meets all of the requirements for proximity and accessibility for both precincts. Different ballots will be used for Precincts 4 and 7. Egan addressed the alternatives for counting: purchasing another optical scanner; purchasing a used machine from another city; dual programming of Precinct 4's scanner; or tabulating Precinct 7's ballots after the close of the precinct. Recently, staff was notified of used machines for sale by the City of Minneapolis. Egan said dual programming is the preferred choice assuming the cost is reasonable, however, purchase of a used machine would be the most economical. Tabulation of the Precinct 7 ballots would emerge as third choice. Staff does not recommend purchasing a new machine. Benke confirmed that the new 7th Precinct will provide less waiting time for voters and quicker election results.
