r <br />Update Regarding Priority Projects and Timelines continued <br />July 9, 1998 <br />Page 5 <br />18. Recodification. <br />A.Staff has met with the recodification consultant to review the entire City Code. The <br />consultant will now update and reformat the Code to improve its useability. A draft <br />of the Code will be provided in approximately 6 months. <br />19. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehab Grant. <br />A.The cities of Orono and Spring Park were successful in obtaining grants for the <br />rehabilitation of single family housing. The area identified in Orono is in Navarre <br />north of County Road 15 and west of Shadywood Road. The two cities have been <br />awarded a total grant of approximately $135,000. These funds will be made <br />available to low income property owners in Spring Park and the Navarre area on a <br />first-come/first-served basis. The County will provide informational materials in the <br />coming weeks so that the two cities can get the word out to residents in the rehab <br />areas. A neighborhood-type meeting will also be held to provide information to the <br />property owners. <br />20. Future Sewer Projects. <br />A. The Edgewood Hills sewer project will be rebid in the winter for construction in <br />1999. <br />B.A neighborhood meeting was recently held with the residents of the Webber Hills <br />neighborhood, during which information was provided and comments were received <br />regarding an alternative to a gravity sewer system. The alternative would be a <br />pressurized system with all properties having grinder pumps. This alternative would <br />substantially reduce the per unit cost. The costs would be approximately $14,000 per <br />unit. There was general support for this-alternative at the neighborhood meeting. <br />The next step is for the neighbors to start a petition to determine the level of support <br />and bring this to the City. If the petition effort is successful, the City would move <br />ahead quickly with a public hearing and the development of plans and specifications <br />so that the project could be bid over the winter and constructed in 1999. <br />21. City Hall Roof Repair. <br />A.The City Council has received a copy of a letter setting out the planned solution to <br />the roof leak problems on the City Council Chambers building and the <br />Administration building. Kraus-Anderson, the construction manager on the project, <br />has arranged for a contractor to make the repairs on the rear portion of the City <br />Council Chambers building as the first step in the repair process. If the repairs work <br />well here, the repairs will be completed on the other portions of the buildings.
