1. Public Improvement Hearing: 2022 State Aid Street Rehabilitation Program.
Director Hansen gave a presentation on the State Aid and Rehab Program. He specifically
highlighted the area of 47th as there is no additional assessment for the added depth or width

leaving 70% cost to resident. Director Hansen noted that there could possibly be a deep edge
mill to address the issue. The only utility work that would need to be addressed would be the
hydrants and gate valve.
