The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with all members present.

The Administrator/Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1987-18. City Engineer Rich Hefti informed those present that because of recent and future development in Section 30 and the construction of Shannon Parkway, it is necessary and time to consider drainage improvements. Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell advised the project is essentially the same as initially considered five and one-half years ago. Campbell reviewed the proposed improvements which would include enlargement of the Hawkins Pond area, significant amount of grading around the pond, excavation of the area and storm sewer construction from the pond to transport runoff from the Shannon Parkway storm sewer system. Steve Campbell outlined the assessment area advising that all properties within the assessment area could potentially drain into Hawkins Pond. City Engineer Rich Hefti provided the total estimated cost for the project, the total estimated amount to be assessed, the estimated assessment unit rate and the estimated number of units in the assessment district. Mayor Knutson asked for questions and comments from those in the audience. Several residents voiced opposition to the project stating they felt the existing storm sewer drainage districts are adequate and felt developers and future property owners should be responsible for the proposed drainage project. It was also the general concensus of the residents present at the hearing that the proposed assessment district, based on their opinion that the current holding ponds are adequate for runoff, is incorrect. Residents also commented that benefit is minimal or nonexistent. A representative for the First Baptist Church requested that the city allow the church time to evaluate the proposed drainage project and have the opportunity to opt out. The representative for the church also noted the elevation of a portion of the church property is lower than the elevation of Hawkins Pond. MOTION by Willard to close the public hearing. Second by Napper. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. Several Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the proposed assessment boundary. City Engineer Rich Hefti stated that his recommendation is based upon the fact that ultimately there is potential for drainage problems, and it is most reasonable that eventually drainage of the entire area would have to go to Hawkins Pond. Mayor Knutson supported the city engineer's recommendation stated that it is important to establish a storm water drainage district now to accommodate future and present growth.
