COUNCIL MEETING
SPEC IAL
SEPTEMBER 10, 1979
1. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor at 7:00 P.M.
Present: Mayor Akin, councilmen Johnson, Kuchera, Orr, Whittier
Also Present: Administrator Ford
2. The Mayor opened the 2nd of two public hearings at 7:00 P.M., dealing with
proposed use of Revenue Sharing funds. Several members of the Golden Opportunities
Club, which is an organization composed of Senior Citizens, again appeared in the
audience as they had at the first public hearing. Mrs. Grace Brosseth was the
spokesman. They reiterated their request of the council to consider the funding of
a Senior Citizens Center, using Revenue Sharing Funds in 1980 and further added that
their was a good possibility that their organization consisting of approximately 80
members could conceivably merge with, or jointly participate in the use of the center
with Faith United Methodist Senior Citizens composed of approximately 25 senior citizens.
It was again determined that no space or facility in Farmington had been located and
it was also mentioned that since the Senior Citizen group were represented by people
living outside of the corporate boundaries of Farmington, should maybe form a committee
to contact Townships also and determine the degree of interest in supporting a program
that the governing bodies of the townships might have.
3. Mr. John McBrien, Attorney representing Felix Tillges in the matter of the Fairhills
Subdivision Plat, then addressed the council relative to a letter which he had written
expressing a request that the amount required in the review of the plat for parkland
in lieu of land, cash donation, in the amount of $7572.00, be agreed upon for payment
but that the actual payment be deferred until such time as the area were developed.
Motion by Akin, second by Orr that the cash parkland donation of $7572 be deferred
until such time as development takes place and that this agreement be incorporated
in a memorandum of understanding to be attached to and become part of the original
plat agreement, and that further, the amount of $7572 be increased annually at the
rate of 8% simple interest until paid, starting with the date of execution of the
memorandum of understanding and that further the City Administrator be fully authorized
and directed to execute the memorandum of understanding and that it be permanently
filed in the city records. APIF, motion carried.
4. The council discussed with staff and several members of the audience the repair
and rennovation of Lower 182nd Street. Mr. Glen Cook, City Engineer, presented
a report which indicated that it was feasible to correct the drainage, to reshape
the drainage ditch, to resurface the street and to repave a portion of the street.
The council decided that this work should be done on a force account, hourly basis,
under the jurisdiction of General Services Superintendent Bill Hince, the funds
to come from the General Service Street Maintenance Budget, and authority was so
delegated.
5. The balance of the evening was devoted to the 1980 budget.
6. Motion made and seconded to adjourn at 10:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
