(15)Discussion:Of the Assessment Policy with regard to the construction of sidewalks
Council member Gruber proposes 100%assessment of four foot sidewalk.Council
member Stanton indicated that University Avenue Widening Proj ect residents were led to
believe that the rate of assessment would not be 100%;but would be more like the 25%
assessed three years earlier.Council member Mertz supported the method of Clive where
residents are given one year to install the sidewalk themselves before the City constructs
for them and assesses the installation to the property owner.Council member Bailey
indicated he would not support 100%assessment.Mark Arentsen indicated to the
council that constructions of sidewalks and widening of Manor Drive would be bid as
alternates;so,if need be due to increased costs of widening the street,the projects could
be dropped from the widening project.Joe Schmidt,2806 W Avenue and P&Z
Commission member,supports sidewalk assessment at 100%.Council member Mertz
proposed a compromise which was not accepted by a majority of the council members.
Jody Gunderson,Director of Community Development,mentioned the most recent
sidewalk construction where 100%of a four foot sidewalk was paid by the property
owner and the additional 2 foot was paid by the City.Further discussion concluded with
the understanding that Mark Arentsen was to request a sidewalk assessment component
to the approval process for the University Avenue Widening Project without identifying
the assessment rate at this time.

M district construction.Development Director Jody Gunderson discussed M District
construction,M and C Zoning,location and Reikes Bldg.Mayor Oberman suggested that
some M zoned areas might need to be re-zoned to Commercial.Council member Stanton
suggested breaking into smaller groups and really discussing the issue to develop an
ordinance that would stand the test of time.This discussion will go back to Plamring &
Zoning Commission and to Community Development for further study.
