Resolution Adopting the Final Design Report
for the South Mason Street and Utility
Improvement District No. 75 and Ordinance
Establishing Said District, Adopted.
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"A. Resolution Adopting the Report of the Director of Public Works on the
Estimates, Costs and Assessments for the South Mason Street and
Utility Improvement District No. 75.
Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 86, 1981, Relating to
the Creation and Organization of the South Mason Street and Utility
Improvement District No. 75.
The improvement district consists of the construction of the storm sewer,
water and sanitary sewer lines, street, curb, gutter and sidewalk for South
Mason Street from Creger Drive south to Boardwalk Drive. The four property
owners previously petitioned City Council for the improvement district and
resolution 81-41 was adopted March 17, 1981 initiating the district and
directing the Director of Public Works to proceed with the final design.
' Council's approval of the final design report will allow construction to
begin.
The four property owners in the district had retained Cornell Consulting
Company to do the design work. Since the district is for the benefit of
the four property owners, and they requested that Cornell Consulting
remain on the project, the Director of Public Works previously received
permission to deviate from the City's standard procedure for obtaining
Request for Proposals.
All costs will be assessible to the district. The only direct City cost
will be street oversizing in the amount of $3,840.
The property owners want the district because with financing through City
bonds, the interest rate is lower, the payback time is longer and the
owners can have the improvements immediately. Without the City's help, the
owners would have to wait several years or longer before they could finance
the project. The City would not plan to construct the street improvement
until the 1987-1992 period. However, construction of this improvement in
1981 will help to alleviate congestion on south College from Monroe south
to'Boardwalk Drive, which is approximately 1/2 mile.
Adoption of this Resolution would normally be followed by notification to
property owners and a public hearing on the district. In the case of this
district, however, the four property owners have waived the notification
' process and hearing requirements. Therefore, the next step in the process
will be adoption of the attached Ordinance creating the district, letting
bonds, and advertising for bids for construction of the improvements."

year of the three-year plan and, with modification, is. presented now for
formal adoption. A new three-year plan will be brought to Council for
consideration next year. The total available for the CDBG program for
1981-1982 is $776,000.

TOTAL PROJECTS $625,900 $625,900
The projects have been reviewed by both the staff and the CDBG Citizens
Steering Committee and both concur that they are practical and can be
accomplished within the budgets recommended. Based upon a public hearing
held by the Citizens Steering Committee, they are recommending these
projects for your approval.
The original 1979 plan had the balance of the funds, $150,100, set aside
for administering the program and as a contingency reserve for new projects '
and/or as supplemental funds for proposed projects. The original plan
included $77,600 for administration which included almost no increase from
250
' 1978 levels. Since 1978, the program has expanded, and office space rented
requiring more administration budget than originally conceived. HUD allows
20% of the grant to be used for administration. The staff recommendation
is 15.9% of the grant. Staff recommends the administration allocation be
increased and the balance remain in contingency. The Citizens Committee
did not make a recommendation on this matter but in the past has expressed
concern that administration be kept minimal.
Project Planned in 1979 Recommended
Program Administration $ 77,600 $123,100
Contingency Reserve 72,500 27,000
TOTAL $150,100 $150,100
TOTAL 1981-1982 PROGRAM $776,000 $776,000
The Chairman and other members of the Citizens Committee will attend
the meeting and answer questions that might arise."
Kaye Theodoratus, 726 Mathews, Chairman of the CDBG Steering Committee,
noted that some of the things recommended 3 years ago are not economically
feasible today. She stated that the Committee feels they have made the
best decisions to get the most money to the people who need it the most.
She added that, if any further monies turn out to be unspent or unspendable
for the projects given, the excess be directed to housing rehabilitation.
She further noted that the Committee feels that many problems with the
program have been resolved and that they were better satisfied in most
areas. She added that some of the Committee felt that the office space
chosen was too luxurious for a program of this type.
Margaret Mitchell, 809 E. Elizabeth, also supported having the excess funds
directed to housing rehabilitation.
Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Elliott,
to amend this Resolution by adding a section stipulating that any excess
funds that are available from any funded projects under this Resolution
will be directed to housing rehabilitation with the concurrence of the
Steering Committee. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Elliott, Horak,
and Wilmarth. Nays: None (Councilmember Reeves withdrawn).

City Manager, John Arnold, gave a brief slide presentation highlighting
major points of the budget. He noted that department heads had been given
target budget levels which they could not exceed and were directed to hold
subsidized funds at the 1981 level. Additional needs were identified as
supplemental requests. He noted that the base budget totals $110,601,000
and the total supplemental requests $4.2 million and of that, General Fund
supplemental requests totaled $3.8 million. The total Capital Projects
requests are $145 million, of which the City has financing for $71+ million
and $73+ million is unfinanced. The net City expenditure figure is ob-
tained by subtracting $32 million in interfund transfers from the $110
million, leaving $78 million.
He pointed out that June 30, July 7 and July 14 were scheduled for depart-
ment review sessions and that on August 25 the final budget document will
be presented to Council. Public hearings are scheduled for September 1 and
15 and the budget will be adopted on October 6, consistent with the Charter

Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of Sales and Use
Tax Revenue Bonds in the Aggregate Principal Amount
of $5,700,000, Adopted as Amended
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The attached Ordinance will provide for the issuance of Sales and Use Tax
Revenue Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $5,700,000 for a term of
20 years. The issuance of said bonds will help to defray the costs as-
sociated with street improvements.
You should note that blanks have been provided in the Ordinance in lieu of,
(1) the actual name of the purchaser of the bonds; and (2) the actual net
effective interest rate payable on the bonds. The reason for this is that
the Director of Finance shall not receive sealed bids for the purchase of
its Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds until June 16, 1981 at 10:00 a.m. The
bonds will at that time be awarded to the bidder naming the lowest "net
interest cost" to the City."
City Attorney, Lucia Liley, noted that several blanks needed to be filled
in. On Page 7, the purchaser is E. Clarkson Shaw of Kirchner, Moore and
Co. On Page 10, the interest rates need to be filled in according to the
schedule provided by Deputy Finance Director, Pete Dallow, and on Page 12,
the interest rate of 10.16504% should be inserted.
Deputy Finance Director, Pete Dallow, explained how the net effective
interest rate was derived and noted how the bids were evaluated.
Mr. Clarkson Shaw of Kirchner, Moore and Co. stated that his firm was
pleased to be able to make this bid proposal on the bonds.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cassell,
to adopt Ordinance No. 87, 1981, on First Reading, as amended.. Yeas:

Professional Services Agreement Awarded
to Centennial Engineering
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The $5,700,000 street bond issue contains $800,000 for street rehabilita-
tion work. On June 29th, we will open bids for this work and award a
254
construction contract. The scope of the work will include the rehabilita-
tion of approximately 2 112 miles of collector and arterial streets.
Included are various sections of Taft Hill, Prospect, Mulberry, Shields,
Stover and Stuart Streets. These sections were identified from the Street
Sufficiency Study completed last year. We will also be reconstructing five
crosspans throughout the City as part of our construction program.
The purpose of the contract with Centennial Engineering is to perform the
contract administration and construction surveillance work associated with
the street rehabilitation program. Centennial will serve as our managers
and inspectors of the project. It is necessary to hire a consultant to
perform this work because our Engineering Inspection staff does not have
adequate resources to manage a project of this size and intensity. This is
a similar approach used in last year's rehabilitation program.
The contract calls for a maximum expenditure of $55,000. Payment will be
on a time and direct cost basis according to Centennial's standard hourly
billing rate (Exhibit C).
Our standard consultant selection procedure was utilized in selecting
Centennial. The firms of Hogan and Olhausen and Delgado and Mesta's,
Inc. were the only other firms to submit proposals and be interviewed.
Proposal evaluations and interviews were conducted by a City staff team and
Mr. Randy Larsen. Centennial was selected as the firm most able to perform
the work proposed. Since this contract is in excess of $20,000, Council
needs to approve it to comply with our Capital Project Management Control
Manual guidelines."
Public Works Director, Roger Krempel, noted that the City needed expert
help in quality control on this kind of work. In-house staff would not
provide the same level of expertise that outside firms would provide.
Councilmember Horak questioned the 250mile rate listed by Centennial,
noting that it was much higher than any rates he was aware of.
Roger Krempel replied that Centennial got the 25t rate from published
information during the last month and that other firms are behind. He
suggested the City should establish a rate and state as a general policy
what the City will pay.
Councilmember Cassell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Reeves,
to approve the selection and award of the contract to Centennial Engineer-
ing. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Elliott, Horak, Reeves, and Wilmarth.
Nays: None.
