City Council Minutes September 6, 2022 Page 5 of 7 COUNCIL MEMBER CLEMENT MOVED TO APPROVE THE USE CARRYOVER FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF$12,495 FOR SPRAY PATCHING. COUNCIL MEMBER SEILS SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5- 0. 9.2. 9th Avenue Update Rich stated that currently three entities are willing to work on this project together and that might not be the case in the future. Loon Lake Twp and Jenkins would like a ten-ton road standard. They are worried about the viability of the road if it does not have this standard, due to the amount of truck traffic. Council member Pedersen states trucks should be banned from 9th Ave. CR 17 is built for truck traffic. The city put a"No Truck" restriction on Rasmussen Rd for the same reason. He further stated it would make sense to ban trucks for the longevity of the road. Council would like to see the numbers of building a heavier road for trucks. Discussion ensued about enforcing the truck ban and how current five-ton signs are being ignored by drivers. Rich stated they are looking for two bids on the project. 10. Administration 10.1. Administration Report Rich stated the company wanting to build an apartment complex is going back through the Planning Commission to create a Residential Development Zone in the Heart of the Good Life. This will have to go through a public hearing. Discussion ensued about having a Special P&Z meeting if needed. Rich stated communication is key for the organization and discussed a timeline for the city to keep the project moving forward. City is waiting on a bid from Schrupp for Coleman Drive. McGill Street has a bid of$16,000. Rich believes we will need install a guardrail. Discussions ensued about bids and timelines. Rich stated CIP will be discussed at length at the October Council Meeting. Jason Murray will be invited to that meeting as well. Rich stated he watched the Test Section on Patriot Avenue in the morning and observed traffic slowing down dramatically. He also did not observe any school buses using this route. Council member Seils stated she does not see anyone utilizing the parking there. Rich said he believes it does not get used unless there is a large event in the city. Discussion ensued about parking. Nick put in a bid of$16,175 on tax forfeited land on McGill Street and Coleman Dr. No answer from the county yet.
