2. WILLOW DR. WATER LINE EXTENSION
Thomas Anderson reported that Tax Increment funds, in the amount of $50,000, had been
pledged by the city for putlic improvements, at such time as a building is constructed
south of the railroad tracks. He stated that Engineer, Glenn Cook, had said that it
would cost $50,000 to construct Willow Dr. to the water tower site and another $50,0o0
for construction to Pioneer Tr. but that the road would not need to be built until the
building south of the railroad tracks was constructed.
Frank Hetman stated that because others would use the road he would like the city to
participate in cost sharing in addition to the Tax Increment financing.
Wilfred Scherer stated that city participation had been discussed but no conclusions
had been reached.
Mr. Hetman stated that some discussion should be held regarding assessing other properties
oroverall city participation. He explained that they may want to use a central septic
system and are also exploring the possibility of using a central sewage system. He asked
how the water line would be assessed.
Thomas Anderson listed property owners and projected assessments.
JoEllen Hurr stated that the assessment for the DeVac property would be $4500 and the
property to the south would have an assessment of $27,500.
Robert Mitchell explained that because Medina Parks is the only abutting property they
would be the only properties assessed. He stated that in industrial developments the
party wanting a road pays for its construction.
Mr. Hetman asked if some contribution for roads is taken from general city funds.
Thomas Anderson asked if he would agree to the realignment of Willow Dr.
Mr. Hetman explained that he had signed the road easement. He also explained that some
of the property is not buildable and the DNR has for wetland purposes.
Thomas Anderson stated that the alternate bid could be awarded in view of the fact that
Mr. Hetman had signed the Willow Dr. realignment easement.
Moved by Scherer, seconded by Theis to adopt Resolution 88-32, awarding bid for Willow Dr.
water line extension to northdale Construction in the amount of $91,117.50, upon verification
that the easement description for the realignment of Willow Dr. is correct.

ission. She stated that their meeting will be on Thursday May 26th and apparently all of
the plans had been approved by Watershed staff.
