94-114City Council Meeting - October 24, 1994
approximate 70% penalty in there, I just don't understand why people would do that. I'd be much cheaper to get
any kind of a bank loan than to pay 70% this way.
Councilman Wing: Some of these are brand new homes. I mean like Country Oaks that's.
Don Ashworth: I don't know of that to be true or not true.
Councilman Wing: Would it pay us to do a phone survey of what's occurring and why? I remember discussion
that some of these are intentional last year. I realize it's quite a list but maybe if somebody needs to be assigned
to just go down this list and contact and get the reasons for each one.
Don Ashworth: Well where you have new parcels, I wouldn't doubt that in those instances the developer, the
builder needs the water and sewer as a part of the building process. If he's not able to sell fight away, he knows
at the time of closing that that will be added onto at the time of closing so he'll just let it fide. ! feel more
comfortable saying you'll get your money on those more so than maybe some of the other ones.
Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Any other discussion? Is there a motion?
Councilman Wing: Move approval.
Councilman Mason: Second.
Mayor Chmiel: Sorry, I'm moving too fast. I would like to close that public hearing.

favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Resolution g94-113: Councilman Wing moved, Councilman Mason seconded to approve the Certification
of Delinquent Utility Accounts. Ali voted in favor and the motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: VACATE CONSERVATION EASEMENT AND ESTABLISH A WETLAND
EASEMENT AND TREE PRESERVATION EASEMENT LOCATED WITHIN THE PLAT OF THE
MEADOWS AT LONGACRE, LUNDGREN BROTHERS.
Kate Aanenson: ...vacation of conservation easement. This is the fu'st...and that phase, what we did is we had
one conservation easement that included the wetland and tree preservation .... second phase we separated those
two out. Both of those easements, conservation easements have ddferent standards and we felt it was more
appropriate to leave them separate, which we've done in the future phases. So we are recommending that we
vacate the original one. What we're doing is still having the same lots with the same easements. What we're
doing is separating out one wetland and one tree preservation. So we are recommending approval. The
auorney's office when they reviewed their documents had one concern which we had raised on...and all they're
saying, on that, they just want to make sure that it's clear. Modify...to make sure that it's...and that Would be
mostly the wetland easements where we have to put them-over the sewer lines...we would recommend approval
of the lots outlined in the staff report.
Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Is there anyone else wishing to address this at this time? If seeing none, can I have a
motion to close the public hearing.

AWARD OF BIDS: LAKE LUCY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 92-12.
Bill Engelhardt: Mayor and members of the Council. On October 20, 1994 six bids were received for the Lake
Lucy Road Improvement Project 92-12. The low bid was received from Northdale Construction at an amount of
$530,154.17. The engineer's estimates for the project was $585,000.00. The low bid is about 10% below the
estimate. Northdale Construction has performed satisfactorily on previous jobs with the city to recommendation
to award the bid to Northdale Construction in the amount of $530,154.17. Included in your packet with the bid
tabs also showing the other six bidders. They were relatively close. Second bidder was $578,964.00. High bid
was $641,901.00. But the difference between the second bidder and the f'u'st bidder was approximately
$60,000.00 is not too bad on a project of this size. Also Northdale Construction was the contractor for the force
main that was laid along TH 4'1 so he's very familiar with the terrain and the project location.
