ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MARCH 11, 2013 5 fee is charged. The fee schedule previously allowed for three false alarms and now it only allows for two, which is how the City Code and fee schedule languages ended up becoming inconsistent. MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve Ordinance 2013-003 amending City Code Chapter 10, Subd. 3 and Chapter 6, Subd. 5 (A) and (B) as amended and authorizing the publication of a summary Ordinance of 2013-003. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. 8. NEW BUSINESS None. 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A.2013 PMP Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering the Advertisement for Bids Public Works Director Maurer noted that this proposed project had a public hearing in January 2013, at which time the Council authorized the preparation of plans and specifications. He stated that discussion took place that night regarding whether it should be a complete reconstruction project with concrete curb and gutter or a reclamation project. He stated that the neighborhood expressed interest in the reclamation approach which would keep the rural feel as well as keeping project costs and assessments down. Public Works Director Maurer stated that the Council ordered plans based on a reclamation improvement. He noted that there will be no concrete curb and gutter other than a few properties bordering the City of Roseville that currently have partial curb and gutter. He explained that the plans allow for the completion of those curbs and gutters. He noted that there will also be some concrete curb and gutter installed around a few stormwater inlets, and all other areas will be reclamation with new bituminous pavement. Public Works Director Maurer explained that if the Council was to proceed with the adoption of this resolution, bids will be opened on April 2. He stated that the bids would then be presented to the Council at a subsequent meeting. Public Works Director Maurer stated that an open house will be held on March 19 at City Hall in the Council Chambers to allow those in the neighborhood one last look at the plans. He noted that the total project costs were budgeted at $1.7 million in the CIP based on full reconstruction; however, with the project now becoming a reclamation project, staff expects costs to be lower at approximately $1.2 million plus minor contingency and overhead.
