Regular Council Minutes <br />6-28-04 <br />Page 2 <br />? we'll certainly discuss that. But right now the tax budget calls for $200,000 to be transferred from the <br />General Fund to Sewer Relief Fund. <br />Mayor Rinker said just as a reminder to all of us, as you know what we have done annually is make <br />application for Issue Two funding for the sewers. Our overall philosophy has been to try to maintain <br />balance throughout Mayfield Village so that one neighborhood isn't burdened or necessarily benefited <br />any more than any other. In other words, that at the end of the day the assessment that the individual <br />property owner receives at the point the sanitary sewers would go on line would be comparable. And <br />generally we've had pretty good success with that. We noted at the last meeting and I bring it up again <br />tonight that in the last couple of years, unfortunately, the Issue Two applications that we've made for <br />one particular neighborhood have been stalled. We've gone though a number of changes in that in the <br />meantime, we've been accruing some funds annually in the sewer fund. This year, our approach will <br />be--rather than focusing on the one project--we are looking to submit in all likelihood three Issue Two <br />applications. We will hy to set them up again comparably so that at the end of the day residents would <br />be treated equally among the different neighborhoods. The variables are the number of properties that <br />are involved in any particular neighborhood. So that would be: Metro [Park], Highland, Thornapple- <br />in addition to Eastgate and Meadowood. So those are the remaining septic system areas that we are <br />going to try to work to conversion. So all things being equal, our general approach has been not only <br />to maintain that but to tty to tie in storm improvements where we can. This is all pretty consistent. <br />Thank you. <br />Council President Buckholtz said, Donna; make a note to put that on the rucus 49enc311 1: I was going <br />? to ask Bill if this was at all a reasonable or feasible thing to do but since he's already doing that as a <br />line item, let's discuss it and see how we would work that. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any other items for the open portion? <br />There were none. <br />CONSIDERATION OF 1VIlNUTES <br />Special Councifl Meeting - March 22, 2004 <br />Mr. Brett left the meeting table at this time. (approximately 8:15 p.m.) <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, did we all get the revised minutes and said I didn't see them <br />in the packet. <br />Mr. Marrie said I saw them-and added: this was for last week-not this week-June 18. <br />Mr. Marquardt said there was no finalized copy. There was a copy requesting input. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, does anyone else have anything further to add to those <br />minutes? Then if it would be appropriate, can we pass those minutes that are in the hands of the <br />Clerk of Council and Council members in terms of representing that meeting? <br />Mr. Diemert stated as supplemented and Council President Buckholtz reiterated as <br />supplemented.
