d. City Engineer Mike Flesch presented a resolution supporting the Construction of Inman Parkway Extension Alternative for the CTH G Connector. Mr. Flesch indicated that three options have been presented for this project, and staff supports the construction of Inman Parkway. He also noted that this corridor has been officially mapped since the 1970s. Councilor Van De Bogart made a motion to adopt the resolution, and Councilor Luebke seconded. Mr. Flesch said that there would be a public meeting on Monday, August 27th at Aldrich Middle School to gather resident input. Councilor De Forest asked if, after the road is built, the City could or would attempt to annex any property from Turtle Township, and Mr. Arft indicated that the City and the Town have a Cooperative Boundary Agreement in place for about 10 more years that prohibits annexations in this area that are not mutually agreed upon. Mr. Flesch said that the road may be constructed to provide access, not support development. The motion carried 6-0. File 8558 e.

He said that four companies bid on this contract, and an employee committee interviewed them all. Councilor Spreitzer made a motion to adopt the resolution, and Councilor Luebke seconded.
