ASSESSMENT HEARING 125838 - Getty/Schmitt that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on F.Y. 2008 Sidewalk Repair Assessment Program - Zone 7, Contract No. 724, as published in the Waterloo Courier on August 16, 2007 and August 23, 2007, be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 125839 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections. Nancy Eckert, City Clerk, reported that four written objections are on file. A letter of objection was received from Arlin Zevenbergen regarding property at 612-616 Mulberry Street; a letter of objection from Joel and Candace Tix regarding property at 210 Monroe; a letter of objection from Leanna Franco regarding property at 228 Polk Street; and a letter of objection from Martin Holst regarding the property at 610, 612 and 614 Mulberry Street objecting to the proposed cost. Betty Hodges, 448 Lane Street, objected to the proposed assessment cost and the need to repair the sidewalk as it is located in front of a vacant lot that she owns. Ms. Hodges stated she cannot afford the assessment cost, and she does not believe the sidewalk needs to be repaired. Ms. Hodges stated she applied for assistance but did not qualify because the sidewalk is in front of a vacant lot located on Franklin Street. Ms. Hodges commented that the notice she received has a proposed assessment of $913.30 and proposed DEF of $1,194.90. Ms. Hodges stated the vacant lot is near what used to be a Super Value market between two houses. In answer to a question from Councilperson Gunderson, Ms. Hodges stated there are sidewalks on both sides of her lot. Ken Orchard, 873 Belle Street, spoke regarding the assessment at 610 Mulberry Street and the sidewalk repair and the letter council received from Arlin Zevenbergen. Mr. Orchard stated that the purpose in writing the request is to be excluded from this cycle of the sidewalk program. They are under renovations on that building where there happens to be a vault underneath that sidewalk, and they are going to have to do some utility work in that area. They are willing to go ahead and make repairs that are necessary for the safety of the sidewalk, but there are other circumstances coming up regarding the utilities and things they are going to have to get in that vault. If they replace and do that work now they are just going to have to do it again in the spring. Mr. Orchard asked that the council remove this sidewalk from this year's schedule. • • • • September 4, 2007 Page 3 Assessment Hearing continued Councilperson Cole asked if a permit has been taken out for that building, and Mr. Orchard replied for the demo work. They are still waiting for the drawings from the architect and then Main Street Review. Getty/Schmitt that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 125840 - Getty/Schmitt that "Proposed Resolution of Necessity, as proposed, for the F.Y. 2008 Sidewalk Repair Assessment Program - Zone 7, Contract No. 724", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Gunderson noted that the letter from Joel and Candace Tix regarding 210 Monroe Street says the sidewalk does not go through to the end of the block. Councilperson Gunderson asked if there is a sidewalk connected to any other property that has had sidewalk assessment. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, responded that the sidewalk at 210 Monroe Street does connect on the west side to another sidewalk in front of a home and that connects to Colorado Street where there are sidewalks, so it is part of the system. Councilperson Gunderson commented that it is part of the system although the letter says its dead ending and as far as he is saying, "why pay for a dead horse. Mr. Thorson responded that is correct, and there is apparently a deficiency that does need to be repaired, and the point of this whole program is to reduce the liability not only for the city but also for the property owner if anyone should trip. Councilperson Gunderson commented that the letter from Leanna Franco regarding 228 Polk Street indicates they are objecting to the cost of $181.44 for the repairs. Councilperson Gunderson noted this is just an estimate of $181.44 for the repairs and asked if that is the highest it can be or could it be lower than the proposed cost. Mr. Thorson responded this is the highest it could be. The preliminary assessment that is sent out from the city is always calculated on the high, side because this is our only opportunity to send out a proposed assessment. We will be bidding the job, and any savings will be passed along to the property owners. If the bids come in less than our estimates than the assessment could go down. It cannot go any higher than this but it can go down, which we typically see the assessments go down a little although that is not a guarantee. Councilperson Greenwood commented that he doesn't believe the city will see a dramatic increase in the cost from last year to this year. There were some pretty good increases in previous years, but he thought it was fairly reasonable. Councilperson Greenwood stated that versus having someone go out and try to negotiate a one square replacement at their house, he thinks they would pay more than if they are in the city's project and let the city bid it. Mr. Thorson commented that usually if you just have one or two squares to repair that is true because you do need to be bonded or hirer a bonded contractor, take out a permit and do all the work. Generally if you have one or two squares the city's prices are pretty competitive. Sometimes if you have a larger project it may not be quite as competitive. There are some state code costs that have to be passed along in an assessment program. Councilperson Kincaid asked if a person doesn't do their sidewalk and the city does the work and assess it to their taxes how long of a period of time do they have to pay for the assessment. September 4, 2007 Assessment Hearing continued Mr. Thorson explained that later tonight we will be opening the bids. Once we have those bids, we will have unit prices that we use. The folks will then be billed for the exact quantities that are measured using those unit prices. At the time when they receive the final assessments, they have the opportunity to pay all of that assessment, part of it or none of it. Whatever remains is actually what is put on the taxes with interest. Depending on the amount of the assessment, there is a period of three to ten years, so as the assessment gets higher you get a little bit more time to pay. There is a schedule that is available, but they do get a chance to pay that over a number of years and the higher the assessment the more years they will get up to ten years. There is some interest involved, but you also get the opportunity up front to pay some or all of it if you would like. Page 4 Councilperson Getty commented that Ken Orchard who spoke regarding the assessment at 610 Mulberry Street, he thinks since its going to be done next year the council could pull just that one from the program if they have to go underneath and do electrical work. Mayor Hurley explained that the council can pull all or any number in-between, but he reminded council that the city started this in late May and the property owners were given 45 days and then another 14 days after that. After that period of time is when we knew what properties we needed to go out and survey. Mr. Orchard commented at they got along a little further there was a question of how the repair was going to be made. Whether the whole vault top had to come off or whether the patching was able to be done in a safe manner. In response to a question from Councilperson Gunderson, Mr. Orchard stated the city sent the owner an estimated cost of around $44,000.00, which is in excess of what they feel it will take to do the job. Councilperson Gunderson noted that Mr. Orchard's letter indicates an estimated cost between $3,000.00 and $4,000.00 and $10,000.00 at the most. Councilperson Welper commented that he sees no reason for council to pull this off until next year as he thinks as soon as they are done with what they are doing they could go ahead and repair it at the owner's cost. Let them repair it as long as it meets the city's standards. There is no reason to put it off for a whole year. Mr. Thorson explained that after these hearings, we will be opening up the bids for the contract and that work was scheduled to be done yet this year. If council wishes to take out the sidewalk on Mulberry Street, we would need to know that tonight. They have indicated in their letter, if the council chooses to remove that sidewalk, they would do temporary repairs. Mr. Thorson commented that the Engineering Department would recommend the temporary repairs so that we try to minimize any safety hazard and set some kind of timetable to have it completed or it would be included in another program. Mr. Thorson stated that usually a full-scale renovation is a good reason to pull something out, a full renovation is probably one of the better reasons to give an extension. Mr. Orchard commented that they intend to make the repairs necessary this season, but they won't be doing the extra work until next year. Councilperson Gunderson asked Mr. Orchard if the vault would be filled in or repaired. Mr. Orchard responded the repair of the vault will remain but bringing up next year on the infrastructure of the electrical, sewer and the gas they might choose at that point to go ahead and fill that vault system in.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Gunderson asked with ordering construction will we negotiate with the contractor on the estimated $40,000.00 we have removed from the project. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, responded there are actual provisions in the specifications to adjust the quantities, but we have to go through the hearing and the bid opening to actually get to the point where we can discuss that with the contractor. Mr. Thorson stated once those discussions have taken place we still have to award the contract and then approve the contracts and bonds. This is more of the language that is required in an assessment program, in any project that the city does, you have to order construction but it will be based on changes we make to the contract. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2007-751.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Greenwood asked what the timeline is for Cunningham Construction to work on the Riverloop Exposition Plaza and will that be on-going through the winter. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, responded we anticipate that they would get quite a bit of work done this fall and then will probably not be able to work too much during the winter unless it is pretty mild. There are some structural elements of light towers, fabrication and those kinds of things that can go on over the winter. Mr. Thorson noted that the city would expect them to finish up in the spring as they have a completion date of July 1, 2008. Councilperson Greenwood asked how much time did Peterson Contractors lose with the river coming up and washing out their dewatering system and the Kaufer Dam. Mr. Thorson responded up to this point they probably lost about two weeks. Mr. Thorson noted when he looked over there today the water is still pretty high so they may lose some additional time and are going to need to wait until the water gets a little lower before they can start again. Councilperson Gunderson asked if demolition of Riley's is a part of this contract and when are they expected to be out of their building Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, responded at this time they are looking at right around November 1, 2007.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Kincaid stated that on Logan Street the people out there are constantly fixing their waterlines and asked when the city reconstructs the U.S. 63 Corridor will we put in new lines at that time. Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, responded that as a part of the reconstruction of U.S. 63 that is one of the projects that we want to see done. Exactly how its done is whether its eligible under federal funds. The city is trying to make it an eligible project under the federal highway funds although that hasn't been approved yet. Mr. Temeyer commented that getting the waterlines out from underneath the pavements so they don't have to detour traffic while they are fixing their waterline needs to be done. September 4, 2007 New Business continued Mr. Temeyer noted that there will be several other properties the city has acquired that we don't need anymore so maybe it won't be as big of an issue, but as we proceed through the project we'll keep working on that. Page 10 Mayor Hurley noted the city just recently asked to reclaim our priorities so that priority one on that project is from Donald Street to Newell Street. Mayor Hurley commented for the properties that will remain along there the city will definitely do everything we can to get it included and address those water problems.
