Robert Baker, CFO of Schmitt Music Company located at 2400 Freeway Boulevard, addressed

the 2 weeks following Labor Day, when the project is expected to begin. Mr. Boganey replied
that there will still be access for his business during the overlay project. He noted this type of

Motion passed unanimously.
None wished to address the City Council.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Graves stated her only concern regarding this project is the number of
landowners who are going to be taxed as a result. She asked if the only way the land owners are
informed of this large project is by notice of a public hearing. Mr. Albers, Project Manager,
replied that is correct as well as they were all invited to the neighborhood meeting.
Mr. Boganey noted the properties in the project are mostly commercial and all have substantial
revenue so while the amount of money being taxed is large in general, for businesses of this size
it is not as substantial. Mayor Willson noted businesses generating that type of revenue want the
street outside their property fixed to ensure the property value of their businesses stay intact.
Councilmember Ryan noted the City does its due diligence and notifies all residents and business
owners of these projects and ensures they give appropriate notice. Attorney Gilchrist agreed and
stated the City does ensure all legal requirements are met to inform property owners of the
projects happening on and around their land.
Mr. Lillehaug noted in the eight years he has been with the City, he has not seen any property
owners come forward with objections about notification after the project has begun.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 2016-110 Certifying Special Assessments for Improvement Project No.
2016-06, Freeway Boulevard Mill and Overlay (East of Xerxes Avenue) Street Improvements.
