Gary Gravitt, 5319 Northport Drive, addressed the Council to express his frustration with the delayed completion of the overall project and the mess that he has had to put up with during the project. Mr. Gravitt discussed that he knew very little about the project and now is being asked to pay for a project that he believes did not need to take place on his street. Mayor Kragness asked Mr. Gravitt if he attended any of the informational meetings. Mr. Gravitt stated no that he had not attended any of the informational meetings. 09/09/02 -6- Luletta Rymanowski, 5300 Northport Drive, addressed the Council to express the frustration she had with the overall project. She discussed that her yard has been dug up since May and that her house had collected a lot of dirt and dust, which she feels that the City should pay cleaning costs. She informed the Council of an incident that she believes was verbal abuse from the contractor. Mayor Kragness apologized for the verbal abuse that she might have taken and questioned her if she had contacted the Engineering Department about that incident. Ms. Rymanowski responded that she had not contacted the Engineering Department and had not known whom to contact about issues that have arisen during this project. Mayor Kragness reminded her that the Engineering Department has been the main contact for construction projects and that she should have contacted them. Dick Sharp addressed the Council to question the assessment payoff for 5317 Brooklyn Boulevard and when the project would be completed. He believes that it is not fair for residents to pay for a project when the project is not completed. He suggested that the Council propose a 50 percent payoff now and the remaining 50 percent payoff without interest when the project is complete. Mr. Sharp asked the City Attorney to address the issue. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere discussed that it is within the discretion of the City Council on partial payments and that they do have to abide by State Law regarding time limits. Mayor Kragness reminded the residents that the options they have to make payments on these assessments are as follows: • Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, if payment is made any time between September 10, 2002, and October 10, 2002. • From October 11, 2002, through November 25, 2002, the property owner may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1, 2002, to the date of payment. • If payments are made with property taxes, the first payment will be due with taxes in 2003. The total principle will be payable in annual installments for the period stated on the levy roll. Interest is paid on the unpaid balance. • Partial prepayments (such as paying half now and certifying the balance) are not allowed under current assessment policy. Marta Schlavin, 5907 Upton Avenue North, addressed the Council to ask that the Council consider extending the payment date to November 25, 2002, since the project is not complete and questioned when the project is estimated to be complete. She stated that she would be happy to pay for the project once it is completed. Mr. Brink informed the Council that the project completion date had not been established and that he anticipates mid - October for a completion date. 09/09/02 -7- Mr. LeFevere informed the Council that they could continue the public hearing to September 23, 2002, to get a better outlook of when the project will be complete since the assessments do not have to be certified until November 30, 2002. He stated that notification to the City's local newspaper is not needed and that continuing the public hearing would be sufficient. Councilmember Nelson questioned if there were any recourse of action against the contractor. Mr. Brink informed the Council that the contract does have provisions for liquidated damages; however, the contractor can ask for an extended completion date because of weather or issues that arise such as the issue they are having with Excel Energy. At this time is not known if the City may or may not be able to issue liquidated damages. Councilmember Ricker stated that he believes some residents have valid concerns and asked if the public hearing could be continued to September 23, 2002, in order to do some fact finding and confirm a completion date. Councilmember Peppe requested more information as to what set the project back and what the residents would pay in interest if they choose not to pay until the project was complete. Mr. McCauley informed the Council that a report would be prepared and address the issues raised and brought back to the Council at the September 23, 2002, meeting. Ernie Olson, 3200 61 Avenue North, addressed the Council to discuss that the storm sewer replacement stops east of his property and he is questioning why he would have to pay the proposed assessment for his property for a storm sewer replacement. Councilmember Nelson made a motion to continue the public hearing to September 23, 2002. A resident asked if this continuation would include the public hearing for Improvement projectNos. 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South. Mr. LeFevere discussed that the Council had already made a motion to close the public hearing for Improvement Project Nos. 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South, and adopted the resolutions. The Council could direct staff not to certify the assessments for Improvement Projects 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South, and continue that public hearing at the September 23, 2002, meeting, at which time the public hearing could either be re- opened or rescinded.
