<br />,
<br />Public Works Director revi,ewed the b'ids as tabulated. It was recommended to aw'ard contract
<br />for paving overlay on the west side of Coburg Road only, rejecting bid for east side be-
<br />cause of insufficient budgeted funds. Recommendation was withheld on paving and sewer on
<br />I Myers Road, and for award to Wildish on their low bid for paving and sewers on alley between
<br />I Oak and High from 27th north and wi thin Robins Glen Subdivision.
<br />
<br />Sewer on Roosevelt Boulevard from Garfield east involves the County shop area and was ~'
<br />petitioned by the County. State-owned property (39.4%) would be assessed and staff recom- '..,
<br />mends award to low bidder if an agreement is made for County to pay State's portion of
<br />the assessment should there be some legal reason for State's not paying. One letter of
<br />protest was received, objecting to any form of sewer assessment or district.
<br />
<br />The sewer on Bertelsen Road was previous~y bid and rejected in the face of objections from
<br />owners of abutting properties. Health hazard is now involved. Staff recommends award to
<br />low bidder. Staff also recommends award to low bidders on storm sewer on Willhi S ~eet
<br />and on sidewalk on west side of Coburg Road.
<br />
<br />Albert Cheevers, 135 East 27th Avenue, protested the alley paving between Oak and High from
<br />27th north, saying he would be assessed for improvement which would be of no benefit to his
<br />property. Mrs. Beal suggested this was another instance of owners of small properties
<br />being assessed for improvements benefiting apartment complexes. Considerable discussion
<br />on legalities involved, policy matters of accepting petitions from owners of more than 50%
<br />of properties to be assessed, and possibility of postponement of ':theproject. Public
<br />Works Director said any extension of completion date could not be -'~arried further than
<br />September 15.
<br />Mrs. Be~l moved seconded by Mr. Teague to hold award on paving the alley
<br />between Oak and High from 27th north for further discussion after Council
<br />has opportunity to look at the properties involved. Motion carried.:: < .
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal said a review of the policy with regard to paving roadways of this type is needed
<br />when it is a question of benefit to a number of ppartments and satisfying parking needs by
<br />using alley space, creating traffic along an area where there is no benefit to owners of
<br />small properties abutting the roadway so used.
<br />
<br />Clark Yo~g, 1985 Myers Road, questioned the 54% represented onYthe-petition for paving and
<br />sewers on Myers Road. Mr. Mohr explained the method of determining perce~tages on a front
<br />Ifootage basis rather than numbers of owners. Mr. Young opposed the project on the basis
<br />of resulting higher taxes, wanting to retain the existing gravel surface, and because of
<br />project's covering only a portion of the street. Public Works Director showed Council
<br />members a map of the area, noted names of property owners who were notified of the project,
<br />and explained the paving is m that portion which is dedicated as public right-of-way.
<br />
<br />Joseph Light, 1925 Myers Road, and Cecil Thompson, 935 Country Club Road, also protested
<br />the project, saying it served only the developer of property across the street, and the
<br />projected paving of the intersection will serve no useful purpose. Public Works Director I
<br />I said the intersection costs are not included in' ,the front footage assessments. '
<br />
<br />Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mr. Teague to hold award 'on the paving of
<br />! Myers Road to give Council members opportunity to look at the properties ~
<br />involved. Motion carried unanimously. JIJ
<br />- l.-
<br />
<br />Councilman Williams questioned the paving overlay proposed for Coburg Road. Public Works
<br />Director explained that it will take care of drainage problems and maintenance.
<br />
<br />In answer to question from Councilman Hershner, Manager said cost of paving the parking lot
<br />on 8th between Pearl and High will be amortized through sale of parking permits. Income
<br />after paving costs are paid will be split with EWEB, owner of the property~ It is
<br />anticipated paving costs will be paid before EWEB will be ready to use the property for I
<br />building purposes. He said the same arrangement applies to the property owned by the I
<br />Baptist Church being used for City parking.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Bradshaw to award contract~tqlow bidder on all
<br />items, other than those already voted upon (paving and sewer alley between Oak
<br />and High from 27th north, and paving and sewer on Myers Road). Rollcall vote.
<br />Motion carried, all councilmen present voting aye, except Mr. Teague abstaining I
<br />on the paving of p~rking lot between Pearl and High south of 8th. !
