    The council held a public hearing on paving 202nd Lane NW and Vintage Drive NW. The consulting engineer said adding these streets reduced the assessment cost to $9,023 per household in both affected areas. After hearing comments (including opposition to paving Vintage Drive NW and questions about corner-lot assessments), the council closed the hearing and adopted a resolution ordering the improvement.

    After ordering the street improvement, staff noted an additional action was needed to pursue financing. The council adopted Resolution 22-093 authorizing the City Administrator to apply to Minnesota Rural Water for micro-loan financing for the 2022 assessment projects.

    The council adopted Resolution 22-092 approving Change Order #1 for the 2022 Street Improvement Project.
