This grader� he explainefl� was actually the high bid oC the five graders. Councilman Johanson etated he felt the entire City Council was of one conviction and that was that they tleeded'to have a four wheel drive on the new grader. The Superintendent of Utilit3ea explained to the city Council the Austin-Western was more stable and had better ilotation with six wreels rather than four as the othergraders had and it'wae b�etter ior �,rrading. It was further explained there are two wheels in front and four in back on this partLcular grader. Councilman Sheridan stated thab plus the two extra wheels, there was the additional weight and he had been going to,recommend from the previous information received they go to the 200 3uper� that as far as the City was concerned their equipment all takes real use and rrith' the addition- al weight and power through the drive of two additional wheela''�hey would'�get more economical service over the life of this ioachine. Mayor Nee, inquired-re- garding the universals and mechanical work and 3f this would preaent a problem. Councilman Sheridan replied they wouldbe floing the job with six wrieels rather than four wheels. The Superintendent of Utilities state�i they'1iBCi a lot ot' cnl de sacs and this would also do better work. City Engineer Qureshi explained a better grading job wauld be done with the larger six wheeled machihe.• The City Manager sta6ed he was of the opinion that the difference of $1�500.00 was to be considered 3nd he questioned whether or not the operator would'enjoy operating a front wheel drive because it does steer harder and as the City,wsa getting more and more paved streets there would be less blading; that,hie personal opinlon was i,he wei�ht was so minimal and the turning was so much better tln the pacer that it would be wise to take the Pacer bid. He Yurther mentioned he did not have to operate the grader but didn't feel there was that'much d3f?ererice between tkie two and in his experience with gr�der operators� many of them don't like the Pront wheel drive. The operation of both machlnes in question was discus�ed and it was explained they both had front wheel drive and were both completely hydraulicly steered with power steering and it didn't make any di.fFerence to the operator� that the driver just pushes a bar for eteering. The Superir�L-endent of Utilities stated all machines had six wheels'sn8 the Pacer had four wheels, that the Austin-Western 200 had six wheels� and'all steer and all drive� that the other machims, +,hough having six wheels have front wheels that don'L drive �nd the reor wheels don'b steer� just the Yront wheels. The Clty Manager stated he had misread the specifications and wished t0_retract his statement� that he would go along with the six wheel drive. � ,�, i Motion by Johanson to award the bid to Road Machinery and 9upplies Company of 4901 W�st 78th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota for the purchase of an'Austin- 1 w. t3 Western Super 200 at e purchase price of $19�900.Op on a semi-lease agreement.

CONSIDIIRA'T'lON C1F ASSESSMEN`P POLICY - SS�S: Mayor Nee annour,ced the consi3eration of an assessment policy on Storm Sewer Pro,7ect No. 5 to the City Council and atated there was a memo from, the Finance Director iri this regard. The City Manager explained to the City Counc3l there had been scveral discussions on this item and there was aome'change in the figureU preeent,ed. The Finance Director stated that on hie first question df the ��+ork done under Project No. 51 was a part of thie project,°had been tnken care of but that his other questions regardin� the Sylvan Hi11s area and 61et Avenue line had not been answered. Mr, Comstock� coneulting engineer� replied they had had a discussion this day on the problem and if the City Council would concur� he wished to prepare some more accurate estimates after the bids on i,he project were in at noon on the 13th concerning�what the expanded dis- trict would be and have that figure available For discuas3on; also� the figure presented in {,Yiis reporL' for discussion. He explained the reason they were suggeGt�ng thi� was that there might not he time for the City Councilto con- sider � more accurate figure and they might want to present lot basia figures I at the puhl�c hearing and there were other questions to be cohsidered also. The question of municipal state aid funde for participation was mentioned� also i� the Uasic palicy concerning interceptors and leterals and�other policies thet the City Council was considering presently about storm sewers in general. Mr. Comstock stated it rias felt that iF the feeling of theCity Council was �uch that the hearing could be properly carried off without diacuaeing more accurate figures than are available as far as the assessment applied against'each aquare #'oot or p�rcel of property, than the additional factG would not be needed for i,his meeting, but if they coiald speak in general terms which would be prepared� this wa� v�h�t they wished to do. The Finance Director stated thaC3ty Council would have two figuses� one for the ult3mate complete system and another £or whot would be concidered the main t}�at would go in at the present `time. Mayor Nee stated it seemed to him they were boi,h lateral systeme and did not know why they should be handled any differently than anything elae: Mr. Comstock repl3ed thai, on �24 Project� it concerned the interceptors and t�;was decided, at that time� it should be considered diiYerently� that in the District �5 Area trere are some pipes of 24" and lar�er size which are not included, in this pro- ject and it did seem to him before they could receive discuseion and give accurate assessment figures there would hove to be a number o� decisions on how t2iis project would be hanclled. � � � Cit,y Attorne,y Smith stated the City Mana�er, QLy Engineer Qureahi� the Finance Director and himself had had at least one meeting in trying to,WOrk something out and think in terms of some kind of a city wide storm aewer kihd of thing and they had come up with some interesting figures� that he had an assignment in that regard that wasn't completed as yet but they might be'able to give some kind of a report before the public hearing. I3e explained they were actual�y ___ thinkin� in terms of a maximum $2.41 figure and 9n terms tha�'would'be maximum and minimum and as long as it stays within that area� they thovght it would cover the project and be taorkable and real3stic. He stated•s,t this�publie ' hearin� if they could come up with some suggestion and explein to the people that i,here uou]d be some ceiling and anything beyond that woixld come out of some gener�l fund and this would include 6oth interceptors and laterals, Councilman Stiex•idan asserted City Attorney Sm3th was referring to the ultimate development of a storm district. City Attorney Smith replied this was correct and figurin�; what the total past� present and future cost would be and attribu- _A 'n'eP tabie Qa a�99 �qUare Yoot basis and tentatively this formula of $2.1E1 expresses 2�3's of the to�al and there would be some minor areas that would need some adjustment but,it did seem it might work and this would meen tkiet the usual 10,000 square foot lot would know that their storm sewer cost would be $241.00 and this would be a maximum and probably a minimum. The City Manager explained to the City Council� City Attorney Smith wauld research the law and return wii.h a propoeal and"'they would attempt to poae all the different situations possible in order to take care of all the problems. Mayor Nee stated he could not see how they could return with,any conclusions for the public liearing a week hence. City Attorney Smith replied he thought i� •aas possible, that he did not knota how urgent thieywas� but they would hope they would have something so that they would have the answers to questions raised and this could be presented to the people and a iormula explained that would be workable and equit�ble. Mayor Nee replied that at thie point they were not certain the formula proposed was legal. The City Manager replied they would not have much more than a m�x3mum figure becauae o% s11 the extenuating circumstances but if they could give the City Council someth3ng to use as reference and not as a decision it would be of some help� thst basically i£ there was no new policy establiehed by the hearing the que�tions of the Finance ➢irector would need rates established. The Finance Director inquired if his office should take the line gaing up University and figure a rate per foot and have additional rates for the other two lines mentioned or if not� was this part of the main system or would it be better to ,7ust talk ahout the maximum figures st the public hearing and not decide these now? The City Manager inqu3red if the City Council wished to change the interceptor a�,einst the whole district or what� that at least one area would li�ve tti�o assessmenta� tha� the Sylvan Hills pond had been considered a lateral and this would make it more than a.lateral. Mayor Nee strited his feeling wns that both the Sylvan Hills area and 61st Avenue were laterals. Mr. Cornstock replied they did not directly conflict and it could be construed�as such in the Sylvan Hills araa but the question that arose was the pipe sizeY the improvement is -- not an interceptor improvement for the entire district. Mayor Nee stat-ed it was his'feeling'the 24" principal should be abandonned. The City Manager stated that in the Sylvan Hills area without the pond reteni,ion, it wouldn't be a large li.ne.' Mr. Comstock explained to the (Sty Council if they were going to adopt a pol�ey in the neer future and prior to the levy of the �ssessment roll, the interceptor and leterfll �oould be abolished by the establisl�ment of that princ'ipal. Mayor Nee asserted it did seem they had to go on tlie basis th�t they did riot know if the new principal �aas vorkable. Mr. Comstock replied the problem was that so many decisions had to be ma3e, it wos goln�; to be difficult for anyone to work out some exoct est�mates on the squ�re f'oot basie that would be c�os� to what the assessment would be, that it did appear to him there would have to te more decisions made prior to the public hearing and not with all the facts that they would like to have. Councilman Sheriden stated he felt the�type of proposal mentioned did have some merit� that where there are state aid Punde'lnvolved� they should be something that should Y�e credited to the entire community and each taxpayor should be entitled to as much benefit to state aid �nds ae anyone living on a state aid stre�t, iie further stated si. ��as his understanding that the figure of $2.41 �aould also include the �,nterest and cost over theaassessment pexiod of twenty years and on the final figures perhaps iL wes wrong but.at the moment there was some real merit to the plan. City AttorneylSmith stated the legal theory that the :�2.41 figure coiild be supported was minimal as long as they atayed under lahat would be the engineers testimony would be a comparable thin�, and they Rrobably couldn't asse�,s some areas until they were given the storm sewer bui, they would be safe 3f they had a minimal figure that' the benefit was greater than thc�t and if it were applied over all the city} everybody would be treated equally. Mayor Nee asserted it was a gaod idea if it could be legal, that previously the City Council found the obli- �ation on storto drainage was �atisfied Uy the prlce they assessed an�l nota it had been found t�is was not correct. The Finance Director stateci this same theory could work even thou�h t,hey might no1� picic up the 'p'2.�+1 in every prop- erty in Fridley, Mayor Nee re�lied he could not visualize goin� into a public hearing a week hence without any answers and it did seem to huo they should go on the same theory they had in the past. City �ttorney Smii;h explained they had been trying'to get this matter resolved for this public hearing, that a �eat deal of this is legal study that actually could be made Esnd 3t would mean setting aside ,ome time to do it. Mayor Nee replied thet aside from the A' L�b r, leg�l si�udpoint, there were other things that uresented themselves, that they would need an estimate from Mr. Comstock, consulting'engineer',and City Engineer Rlare�kn on how fast the construction load would develop as they could h�ve a demznd to sewer the whole city in the next two years� The'� questlon ti�as�x•a�sed if another formula were used, what would the demand be for coneY,ruction. Cit,y Engineer Qureshi replied they would only assess the people zaho would want the improvement, tha� they did h�ve other proposals such 2s Si.ate aid money and �eneral taxation. M�yor Nee stated that when bhe City Cotmcil would make a decision like this they would have to know how I much they would have to make in the next two years, i ' i The City Manger explained to the City Council that for purpoaes of the public hearing on thc £ollowing Monday� the City Council should advi5e the Finsnce Director a, to whether or not they wanted him to remove these two item� from the cost of this Storm Sewer {f5 for purposes of giving a figure at the he�ring as to what the estima�,e max unum assessment would be. Mr. Comstock explained to the City Goiancil it appeared to him thex�e were at least 5 O�ethods they cou]d compute th� cost on the present policy, thet it was poasible to'work theee out bet*aeen 12 noon and 7 p. m. the following Monday and have'the exact figures if the City Council would care to get to�ether praor to that and they wauld have an exact figure for the total district and all would be aecording to the pre,ent policy but it wouldn't give the Finance Director t3me to compute a�reliminary assessment roll to apply to every pareel'in the district. He further explazned they h�dn't made a speciel estimate take off but the bids would be opened at noon and they could have everything ready �nd would aseume these wou1�9 be reasonable figures and extend this out and arrive at e total fi�ure of what was involved in this project for pipes 2�F" or,Targer,+and amaller and apply different ereas in the district to these different coat,such as the taking out of the Sylvan Hills area and 61st Avenue. St was explained the Univer�ii,,y linc on the highway has a trunk line only and all tHis work could be done �n a short time. Councilman Johanson �greed thie would give them somethin�; ta work on. Mr. Comstock stated if the City Counc3l felt this would be helpful, it could be done wikh the accurate bidi£igures and could have I them ready for the public hearing. The C3ty Manager asserted the main thing to decide was which figure they would �ive to the public at the hearing� that ; they could advioe ai, that time that based on present thinkingr '�his would be the �pproximate ,�ssessment. Mr. Comstock etated the basic purpose of the public Uearing was for the impravement� not the asse9sment roll and they would not lcnow how much highway help they would get until lateT tha'C.Week� also state aid iunds but they could at least give maximum figures. It wsa st�ted by the C3ty M�n�g¢r the basic reason for ell of this was no ma'tter what the City Councll did on storm sewer� they were crit3�ized and would be criticized ior not bein^ sure of figures and this 4�as all an attempt to give ,them a fi�ure they could stay with at the public hearing� that it might be adv3sable to have these figures worked out prior to the meeting. �Mayor Nee inquired'if it would not be possible to give the City Council a general figure ior the,meettn�.
