PUBLIC HEARING FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL LID 17 I; Mayor Minkler opened the Public Hearing on the Final Assessment Roll for Local Improve— ment District No. 17 The clerk read letters of protest from the following: N.C. Machinery, Stoneway Concrete, Cello Bag Company, Inc. and Irvin A. Iverson Associates, Inc. in behalf of George Forsyth. Mayor Minkler explained the construction of the facilities was made in conformare with the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. There had been many meetings with the State Highway Department and the property owners. The facility had to be installed prior to construc— tion of the highway and the delay in proceeding with the project added to the cost. There is ©agreement that the City of Renton will be served and the city has no agree— ment with Renton citizens for service. Mr. Jon Stack, City Consulting Engineer, explained that when the proposed design was prepared it was necessary to prepare two designs, advertise and entertain two bids under the agreement with the property owners to determine Renton's fair share of the cost if they chose to participate. The preparation of two designs necessitated higher engi— neering costs. The 12" line was installed rather that the 8" line because the larger line did not require as steep a slope thus saving higher costs of the deeper installations. Councilman Dunning questioned if the larger lines were for slope or to serve the Renton area. Mr. Fujiki explained the system was designed to take care of a lesser slope and still have the same capacity. The capacity of the line will not serve all of the Renton area. Councilman Bowen asked if excluding the Renton property,was it still cheaper to build a 12" line in preference to a 8" line for this property. The engineers stated in their opinion this was true. Mr. Iry Iverson questioned if the LeBer Ink Company could be served. Mr. Stack replied he had not shot their building but assumed they could be served. Mr. Iverson questioned if the plans were drawn with a 12" line to serve the City of Renton. Mr. Fujiki explained that two considerations make the capacity of a line, size and fall. If the line had been designed to serve Renton it would have been deeper. Mr. Iverson questioned if the 12" line would serve Renton if they pumped. Mr. Fujiki replied it would not be possible to get all of Renton on the line at the present depth. Mr. Dunning made a motion the Public Hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Mr. Johanson and carried. Mr. Hill asked what the cost per front foot is. Mr. Stack reported the assessments were not figured on the front foot basis but rather on a percentage figure requested by the property owners involved. It came to approximately 80 per square foot on the preliminary assessment roll and 70 per square foot on the final assessment roll. April 19, 1971 Page 2 Mayor Minkler explained the City has no funds to reduce the assessments. He felt the costs were due to many meetings and the highway being built at the same time caused delay. The cost would have been higher if they had waited, as it was the highway depart- ment held things up so we could get done. After further discussion in regard to engineering costs and late comer agreements, Mr. Bowen made a motion the Council accept the final assessment roll, overruling all protests received. Motion seconded by Mr. Sterling and carried. BID OPENING SOUTH 144th et al PROJECT Mr. Hawkins reported seven bids had been received on the Phase II portion of the South 1 et al Project.

Mr. Hawkins reported Tri State's work record had been checked and found to be satisfactory and he recommended awarding of the bid to Tri -State Construction subject to approval of the Urban Arterial Board and financial arrangements. Mr. Bowen made a motion the Council accept the Tri -State Construction bid in the amount of $482,196 subject to the approval of the Urban Arterial Board and financial arrange- ments and, that in the event Tri -State is unable to perform,the bid be awarded to the second low bidder, Pacific Paving in the amount of $527,424.75.
