There will be up to three years to use the $10,000,000.

PUBLIC HEARING HOUSING POLICY RES. 1985-224 APPROVE HOUSING BOND PROGRAM Mayor Branning called the public hearing to order at 8:25 p.m. on Project PUBLIC HEARING 86-244, 155th Street and utility improvements east of Cedar Avenue, and PROJ. 86-244 noted receipt of the affidavit of publication of the hearing notice. Keith Gordon reviewed the preliminary engineering report dated November 6, 1985, and said the purpose of the improvements is to serve the Menard's project. It is proposed that 155th Street would be 44 feet wide. Councilmember Holton asked if a 52-foot wide design should be considered to accommodate four lanes of traffic? Mr. Gordon said a 52-foot wide street would provide four lanes of traffic but not parking. Mr. Gretz said the parking policy would have to be considered. If it is prohibited on the street, more off-street parking would have to be provided with buildings. The Planning Commission is addressing some of these policy questions now and a decision on this project could be delayed until February. Mr. Gretz said present plans for the Southport area show 153rd Street connecting to Galaxie Avenue, as a "ring route" and both of these streets will be 52 feet wide. Garrett Avenue and 155th Street would intersect at a "T" intersection and be 44 feet wide. Mayor Branning said an area being planned for heavy commercial uses should have wider streets. If some of the streets are designated as the major route and are wider, other streets being only 44 feet wide should not be a problem. The Mayor asked for further questions or comments from the Council and the public. There were none and the hearing was declared closed at 8:37 p.m. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, adopting Resolution No. 1985- 225 accepting easements for 155th Street, east of Cedar Avenue, from the Carroll Family with the City constructing the improve- ments and specially assessing the cost provided that the City will take no action which will deprive the Carrolls of their Green Acres status without specific written request of the Carrolls.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota December 12, 1985 Page 4 The Council received a memo dated December 12, 1985, from Rick Kelley concerning Community Development Block Grant funding application for fiscal year 1986. The funds would be used for a weatherization/rehabilitation program for residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eagan. No other applications for the District 3 funds were received this year. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, adopting Resolution No. 1985- 228 approving an application for Community Development Block Grant funding of $275,000 to the District 3 Review Committee for funding a weatherization/rehabilitation loan program for low and moderate income homeowners. RES. 1985-228 CDBG FUNDING APPLICATION Councilmember Savanick asked how the allocations to the Cities are determined in the first nine months of the program? Mr. Kelley said the same formula used to determine the County's allocation is used for each of the Cities. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0. The Council received a memo dated December 9, 1985, from George Ballenger concern- ing a change in insurance consulting services. Mr. Tange, the current consultant, is going out of business and it is recommended that American Risk Services, Inc. be retained to complete the contract. Proposals for insurance effective January 1, 1986, will continue to be received by the City until December 27, 1985. They would be considered by the Council at its meeting on December 30, 1985. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Branning, cancelling the contract for insurance consulting services with D. A. Tange Company effec- tive December 1, 1985, and approving a contract with American Risk Services, Inc. effective December 1, 1985, as detailed in the proposal dated December 9, 1985, and authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to sign the same. AMERICAN RISK INSURANCE CONSULTING SERVICES Councilmember Holton said he is still not sure services like this are needed in an ongoing contract. Councilmember Savanick said she would be more comfortable paying for the services if billed on an hourly basis rather than a prepaid monthly fee. Councilmamber Goodwin said he believes the City needs these services and the method of payment and contract are common in the insurance industry. Mark Flaten, of American Risk, was present and reviewed the services. They also provide risk management services and look at loss prevention. In today's market cities must prove to the insurance industry why it should sell you insurance at a reasonable cost and parc of this is identifying the risks that are out there. He will be looking at th& City's facilities to do this. Mr. Asleson said it should be noted that this proposal is not for a full risk management program. It is in- surance consulting and some risk management, on a limited scope. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0.
