I I 1 Council Meeting Minutes April 14, 1992 Page 5 Council Business. continued The 260 Oakwood Drive complaint refers to stormwater overtopping the curbing at the beginning of the Skyhigh Drive storm sewer. The existing storm sewer has adequate capacity. but the catch basin grates are small and plug easily. To correct this. the grates would be replaced with high capacity grates, and the boulevard be bermed higher to confine the water in the street. The total estimated costs for the replacement storm sewer on Oakwood Drive and catch basin on Skyhigh Drive is $84.000. Each property within the drainage area is assessed a portion of the total project cost based on contributing area, The City's portion for street right-of-way is $28.671. The City would also pay an estimated $14.365 for Silver Oak Park, The project would begin July 15 with a completion date of September 15. Proper said storm sewer assessments are controversial and there is risk for appeals of storm sewer assessments. Because of this. he asked if Council prefers to hold a resident informational meeting. Benke feels the meeting should be held before May 12. so residents can view the plans, Gunderman asked if the zoning ordinance holds some sort of protection against a major expenditure from a lot on which a structure should not have been built. City Manager Dave Childs said it is difficult for the City to not grant a permit for a previously platted single family lot. Not to allow development might result in an inverse condemnation situation, Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson. to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND ORDERING AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR 7:30 P.M..

Childs presented the specifications for a replacement fire vehicle, The City has three main fire pumpers to handle fire emergencies, The vehicle to be replaced is a 23 year old pumper which is experiencing problems with its engine, brakes, and other major mechanical components for which parts are difficult or impossible to obtain. A team of firefighters met weekly for the past four months to develop the specifications for a fire pumper. The team attempted to blend the most economical approach with elements for a safe and effective vehicle, City policy is to project a 20 year life for each vehicle and replace one pumper every 7 years, Unfortunately. the 17 year old pumper is experiencing serious difficulties, In an attempt to spread out the replacements, it is proposed to delay replacement of this pumper for about six years by repairing and refurbishing rather than replacement at this time.
