Mayor Walsh called the special work meeting to order. The
purpose of the work meeting is to consider improvements to 50th
Street NE, expansion of the wastewater treatment facility, and the
repairs or replacement of existing sewer mains.
Thore presented a proposal to improve 50th Street with a 36'
wide curb to curb 9-ton street. The proposal calls for a sidewalk
on one side of the street from Main Avenue to Lansing Avenue.
Included in the proposal are two retaining walls in areas where it
is not feasible to secure a slope easement.

Thore presented preliminary cost estimates for the project.
He explained that the Council has several options for paying for
the improvement. The Council can consider a per lot assessment,
a front footage assessment of a combination of both methods.
The Council directed Linda, Thore and Couri to work together
and propose several options for financing this improvement before
the Council set a public hearing.

disadvantages of each. Each of the al ternati ves increase the

capacity. Also included in the Feasibility Study is a proposed
project schedule.
The Council directed Linda to gather information for a sewer
billing rate study. The Council will again consider the expansion
