Miscellaneous Business by Call of Councilmembers & City Officials

Councilmember Kaemingk spoke regarding the street opening issue he has spoken with our City Engineer regarding other options that could be less costly. The upside to this would be to save our citizens money but the downside would be that they would have to pay the City Engineer to determine which solution would be best for their situation and that could cost the citizen anywhere from $300 to $1000 for their decision and they could still be told that they are required to do the entire paving job. There was council discussion.
