Council in an odd position. He did not believe any member of Council has done anything but support our City Manager. Mr. Crow said his initial thought was this gave the City Manager authority to complete negotiations and sign the contract and to him that opened as many concerns as it did to solve them. He stated this resolution that my colleagues want to move forward, seemed unnecessary and not beneficial to our purposes with our employees. Mr. Crow said to him it was an administrative decision that is well within the authority of the City Manager, and now has been made into a legislative matter for the Council. Voice vote carried unanimously. INTRODUCED BY MR. KRAFT 2. Resolution 2013 – 13 Unimproved Streets Maintenance Mr. Sharpe seconded, the resolution 2013-13 was unanimously, Mr. Kraft moved approve and seconded by Mr. Sharpe. Ms. Carr noted there were a couple of things that concerned her, especially after receiving the City Attorney’s opinion. Since there was no clear definition of the level that is better than the minimal to keep the street functioning and which was to be decided and then brought to the Council, for approval. Ms. Carr’s second concern was at what level did the improvement proposed for an unimproved street rise to the level of private streets benefit to be partially or fully paved for the benefiting property owner and who decided that. She thought if it was one of those issues Mr. Walker and staff could address and present to Council but it was not contained in the packet. Ms. Carr stated the City needed more specific standards, which she said appeared that Mr. Wilson was in the process of developing and which the City Attorney indicated should be done. Ms. Carr said that way it is brought to Council afterward. She asked to postpone this until Council had that information. Ms. Carr noted she did not have any specifications on what it is, was it up to 99% that you can do the streets or is it up to just curbs and the aprons or sidewalks. She said when voting, she would like to be voting on specifics. She said it was a good thing and was glad to see Council is addressing it which will clear up a lot of things for her. Ms. Carr noted there are a lot of streets that the City acquired when we absorbed these properties. She noted she was eager to see the new standards within approximately one month. Mr. Kraft moved to adopt Resolution 2013 – 13, was seconded by Mr. Sharpe and the motion carried unanimously. BILLS INTRODUCED BY MR. CROW 3.
