RE:
COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING
Dear Council Members:
As you are aware, the public hearing for the County petitioned improvements along west TH 10
is scheduled for Monday evening. Please bring your gray covered Feasibility Studies that were
distributed approximately a month ago. At the public hearing, I will be prepared with a brief
presentation on the proposed improvements and proposed assessments after which I will be
able to answer any questions the City Council and/or the public may have.
It should be noted that we have taken the opportunity to meet with both the County and Bill
Gagne to discuss the Feasibility Study. Both parties should have a clear understanding of what
the proposed improvements are and what the proposed financial impact is to their individual
properties.
After the close of the public hearing, the next action for the City Council is to consider the
attached resolution which orders the project and the preparation plans and specifications. This
will keep us on the project schedule laid out in the Feasibility Study, which calls for the plans to
be approved in January and bids received in February. At that time, an assessment hearing
could be held in late March and the Contract awarded. This assumes, of course, that during this
same timeframe the land acquisition issue through the Gagne property can be resolved.
If you have-any questions regarding this I will be in attendance at Monday evening's City
Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
