WORK SESSION
August 28, 1991
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmembers Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, Clerk Linda Houghton,
City Engineer Thore Meyer
Mayor Walsh called the work session to order.
Thore presented the Council with four options for 50th Street
improvements. There is no parking on three of the four options
presented. The sidewalks are shown on the northern side of the
street.
Berning explained to the Council that the residents present
at the August 14th meeting preferred to have no parking on the
street and the streets as narrow as possible.
Thore reviewed the 38' street option with bike paths. The
proposal calls for 13' traffic lanes, 4.5' bike lanes and 4'
sidewalks along the north side of the street. The total cost for
this proposal (including the portion which Frankfort Township must
pay) is $418,000. Based on the "normal" residential street
assessment of $30 per foot, $156,000 of the total cost would be
assessed, leaving $117,000 as the cost to the City (after deducting
the Frankfort Township share of the street).
Thore was directed to provide precise cost figures for the
next Council meeting on a 36' street and a 38' street, broken down
into individual item costs.
Thore next reveiwed the Revised Feasibility Study on the
proposed sanitary sewer line dated July 23, 1990, with the Council.
Options 2 and 3 are no longer viable options because of the
existing sanitary sewer problems along Main Avenue. Thore
recommends that the Council go with a 12" sewer main as allows
better grades. The line should be overdesigned in size and depth
in comparison to normal lateral lines to provide for future growth.
The overdesigned system is estimated at $270,000. That figure does
not include bonding and legal costs. Thore will provide several
options for the Council to consider at the next Council meeting.
Potter made a motion to adjourn at 9:40 PM. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
