Mr. <br /> Houle said should specific improvements at the various intersections move <br /> forward in the future, the Council would have an opportunity at that time to <br /> approve those specific designs. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER SEILS MOVED TO ACCEPT THE TRAFFIC STUDY <br /> REPORT FROM SPACK CONSULTING AND WIDSETH SMITH NOLTING AS <br /> PRESENTED. MAYOR TAYLOE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION <br /> CARRIED 4-0. <br /> 9.3. 2020 Road Improvement Proiects Update <br /> Tim Houle updated the Council on the 2020 Road Improvements Projects which <br /> include South Washington Avenue and Rasmussen Road. He noted they are in <br /> the process of surveying and they will probably talk internally with City Staff <br /> regarding storm drainage. He said it looks like they may need to have <br /> discussions with a few property owners on Rasmussen Road to find some storm <br /> drainage infiltration basin locations. <br /> 9.4. North Sluetter Road Improvement Discussion <br /> Nancy Malecha stated that at the August 6�h City Council Meeting, the Council <br /> moved to provide numbers for North Sluetter Road pavement costs to Jason <br /> Murray with David Drown Associates to analyze as part of the City's capital <br /> improvement plan. Jason Gorr contacted Anderson Brothers and they provided <br /> a rural road construction cost of$288,419 and a rustic road construction cost of <br /> $162,384. A few things not included in the costs were the pricing of culverts, <br /> clearing and grubbing, ditch work, topsoil, potential utility relocations, mailboxes, <br /> and potential striping. Anderson Brothers strongly encourages the City to get in <br /> contact with an engineer to have this project designed as some of the above <br /> mentioned items cannot be completed without proper GPS work and design that <br /> they do not have the capabilities to perform. The rural road classification may <br /> also need to be designed before they can put actual numbers in place and the <br /> rustic road is borderline needing that as well. <br /> Ms. Malecha stated that Jason Murray estimated the above amounts will impact <br /> the City's capital improvement plan by approximately $36,300 and $20,500 per <br /> year respectively to cover debt payments and would increase the City's <br /> preliminary levy by 2% and 1% respectively. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the definition of rustic and rural roads and the <br /> amount of travel on North Sluetter Road. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON MOVED TO APPROVE PAVEMENT OF <br /> NORTH SLUETTER ROAD WITH THE RUSTIC ROAD DEFINITION. COUNCIL <br /> MEMBER SWANSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 3-1. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER SEILS OPPOSED. <br />
