what eminent domain entails for the impacted properties. Erickson stated there are a few properties
impacted by the Bonaire Project and at this point staff does not anticipate going through the
eminent domain process as the property owners have been willing to negotiate sale with the city.
The project is anticipated to go out for bid later this spring with construction starting this summer.
Council Member Block requested Erickson provide further detail regarding special assessments and
how the assessments are figured and the process for special assessments. Erickson stated the city has
a policy for special assessments and a fee schedule which includes further details. These documents

NEW BUSINESS
9.a. NLC Service Line Warranty Program
Director of Public Works Erickson discussed the opportunity for a warranty program for
maintenance and utility service line repairs that homeowners may experience due to tree root
intrusion, water line problem, debris clogging, etc., This warranty program would essentially act as
insurance to the homeowner to defray repair costs as the homeowner is responsible for the service
lines from the main line to the home. There is no cost to the City for this program.
Ashley Shiwarski of Utility Service Partners, represents the National League of Cities Service Line
Program and presented a presentation regarding the warranty program and the impact the program
would have on residential homeowners.
Council Member Weisensel is favorable and mentioned the program allows residents to take
advantage of this program if residents are able to do so; the program gives residents an option.
Mr. Martin discussed the opportunity for the City to receive a small stipend from each policy sold,
and staff would recommend that the City forgo that opportunity and instead allow residents to pay a
reduced rate for the insurance policy.
Council is in favor with moving forward with the program and also collecting additional data
regarding; age of our homes and where the program would apply, number of sewer/water septic
systems, etc. Mr. Martin stated the contract is currently under review with our city attorney and will
be brought before council for approval at a later date.

the first scheduled coffee with council at the library on February 9th at 9:00 a.m. - this event will be
