Council approves 2025 street‑reclamation work for Duck Pass, Long Lake Estates and Ingersoll
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2024‑59 to order plans and specifications for a 2025 street‑reclamation project covering Duck Pass, Palmis/Long Lake Estates and Ingersoll Avenue North, with an estimated total cost of $1,820,900 and unit assessments of $3,400.
At the Dec. 2 meeting staff presented a separate public improvement package covering Duck Pass, Palmis Long Lake Estates and Ingersoll Avenue North, and the council ordered design work and plans for construction in 2025.
Mark explained these streets require roadway reclamation (grinding asphalt and underlying aggregate) rather than a lighter overlay. He said the total project cost is estimated at $1,820,900 and that the assessment policy lists a per‑unit assessment of $3,400 for this option. Staff reported assessments for this project would total about $180,778 (roughly 9.93% of the project) with the city repaying the remaining portion.
The presentation covered the same public‑improvement statutory process (Minn. Stat. ch. 429), options for prepayment without interest within the statutory window, and an option to bid projects together for economy while keeping separate public‑improvement proceedings. After opening and closing the public hearing with no speakers, the council approved Resolution 2024‑59 ordering the project and authorizing plans and specifications.
Quote: Mark summarized the approach, saying, “This is roadway reclamation… we are grinding up that asphalt with the underlying aggregate and leaving that in place to the greatest extent practical to build the strength of the roadway and then paving that.”
