I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 22, 1988 Council Business. Williams stated it has been a policy of the city for about 20 years to look at the possibility of undergrounding powerlines whenever a major upgrading of a street takes place in the city; we have a major upgrading project on Long Lake Road at this time and the City Council has thoroughly investigated the potential of un- dergrounding the oower lines both from an aesthetics point of view and from a cost point of view; the costs simply have not stood still for us and each time we revisit this issue it seems like the cost estimates continue to get higher. With those facts, combined with what he perceives to be an over- whelming lack of support for undergrounding these lines, Williams indicated he is led to believe, although reviewed and researched in a very methodical way, it is not an issue that is right for this point in time.
