In meeting with residents, Gerhardson found that the <br />residents favored raising the road only and did not wish for a project which would result <br />in assessments to their property. Moorse commented that if the Council favored a <br />project requiring assessments, a scheduled assessment hearing would be conducted to <br />gain input from the affected residents. <br />Callahan asked if any other improvements would be made other than the lift station. <br />Gerhardson said the City will go ahead with the sanitary sewer repair. The road would <br />also be raised one foot only because of wetland mitigation. It was reported that the City <br />would save as much as $30,000 by having city crews complete the work rather than <br />private comractors.
