ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—NOVEMBER 26, 2012 4 <br /> B. Motion to Approve Valentine Park Improvement Project Change Order #2 <br /> and Pay Estimate#3 in the Amount of$18,617.74 <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that the second paragraph of the staff memo states that change <br /> order #2 increases the total project cost by $9,018.78. She questioned that amount because the <br /> numbers do not tie out. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer stated that the amount on the cover page is netted against the <br /> first change order, and despite the fact that the change order increases the cost, he anticipates that <br /> the overall project will come in at or below the original bid. <br /> Councilmember Holmes noted that with the change orders, project costs will be approximately <br /> $6,000 higher than anticipated. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a <br /> motion to Approve Change Order #2 which increases the project cost by <br /> $9,081.78, and Pay Estimate #3 to Interstate Pavement Maintenance in the <br /> amount of $18,617.74 for the Valentine Park Improvement Project. The <br /> motion carried (5-0). <br /> C. Motion to Approve Resolution 2012-042 Authorizing the Application for <br /> Recycling SCORE Grant Funds for 2013 in the Amount of$19,694.00 <br /> Councilmember Holmes questioned where the dollar amount comes from that determines how <br /> much of a grant the City is eligible to receive. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the number is derived from a <br /> formula provided by Ramsey County. <br /> Councilmember Holmes noted that this does not explain where the number comes from, and she <br /> would like more information on how that amount is determined. <br /> Mayor Grant stated that he believes part of the formula is based on the number of pounds of <br /> recycling the City contributes. He indicated that it is the County's grant; their funds; and their <br /> formula. <br /> Councilmember Werner noted that the formula is stated in Minnesota Statute. <br /> Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated that the calculation of the <br /> formula is not provided; the only notification the City receives is the dollar amount that the City is <br /> eligible to receive in SCORE Grant money. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that staff will research the formula used <br /> to calculate SCORE Grant funds and will report back via the Administrative Update. <br />
