6.1. Kno11wood Street Overlay Project
Terry Maurer, City Engineer, indicated that he and Phil Ha1s, Street
Superintendent, had inspected the area originally proposed for
overlay. He noted that they both felt, as was brought up at the
7/7/86 Council Meeting, that certain areas were in better shape than
others. Phil Ha1s stated that Ulysses Street, 195th and 197th Avenues
within the Oak Hills Additions were in better condition than the streets
within the Kno11wood Additions. He further stated that it was his
feeling, as well as the City Engineer, that all streets in Kno11wood,
Kno11wood West and Kno11wood West 2nd Additions should be overlaid. He
noted the streets in these areas are all badly worn and are beyond the
point where continued patching of the worst areas is an economical or
long lasting method of maintenance.
Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing.
The following are comments from residents in the proposed overlay area.

e
Terry Maurer, City Engineer, stated there could be a possibility Smith
would not be redone. Counci1member Gunkel noted that if Smith Street
were reconstructed, the residents could possibly receive a credit on the
assessment.
Phil Dahlheimer - Questioned whether there would be a double assessment.
Gwynn Robinson - Questioned why the assessment is $1,100 when gas prices
have decreased and in previous years other people paid $1,000 for similar
projects.
The City Engineer noted that the $1,000 fee has not been raised since
1981 and felt that it was time this fee be raised in order to try to
stretch the City's maintenance budget.
Ron Gilman Indicated he was under the impression that the City Staff
would be looking at only the 4 or 5 bad spots in the roads as opposed to
the whole subdivision.
Mr. Lindquist (of 203rd Avenue) Questioned the actual condition of
the roads and some of the drainage problems which he felt should be
repaired prior to overlaying. The City Engineer noted that the City
Street Department would be doing preparatory work before the
overlaying
e

e
Jim Dahlquist - Felt overlay project should be completely turned down and
just repair the bad spots until Tyler Street is reconstructed.
Carl Nevel - Questioned whether or not the City maintains the blacktop by
seal coating.
Mayor Hinkle closed the public hearing at this time.
Councilmember Gunkel noted that if the speed is reduced on Tyler the City
can approach this as an MSA project on an urban basis and this would be
less costly due to the fact that the road would not have to be widened.
Councilmember Williams indicated that the preparatory work could be done
by the Street Department now and when Tyler Street is reconstructed, then
this area can be overlayed at the same time. Councilmember Engstrom
concurred with Councilmember Williams.
Councilmember Schuldt noted that he disagreed with Councilmembers
Williams and Engstrom. He noted that the City is unsure as to what will
happen on Tyler and stated the longer the City waits on overlaying these
streets, the more it will cost.
e
Councilmember Gunkel stated she would like to see the overlay project go
and stated she felt it was like preventative maintenance.
