ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 29, 2016 7 <br /> <br />past and found their work to be acceptable. The low price on the swale grading was provided by <br />Quinzon Outdoor who have provided services for the City in the past as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked why a screen was placed at this location. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained the screen was put in place to catch <br />particulates before they entered the storm system. He discussed the grade of the street and the <br />grade of the yard noting that it did not take much water to pool in order for it to begin moving <br />towards the house. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund questioned if the City had funds available to pay for the proposed <br />improvements. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated funds were available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes inquired why this area of the project was not properly engineered from <br />the beginning. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained that by removing the screen the City would <br />get back to the level playing field. He commented staff has identified the location where flooding <br />could occur and with a minimal amount of work, staff would eliminate this concern. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes was not convinced these were the proper steps to take to eliminate the <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if the swale was sufficient. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated the swale would allow water to be routed <br />around the house and give it a path to the backyard without flooding the house. He believed the <br />swale would benefit by the addition of another catch basin. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant and Councilmember Holden indicated they would be supporting staff’s <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung feared that the City would be facing a liability claim if this was not <br />properly fixed and the property were to flood. He believed the expense was relatively low and he <br />supported the new catch basin and overflow swale. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Wicklund moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to Accept Proposal from C.W. Houle Inc. in the amount of $8,000 for <br />addition of one catch basin at 1776 Venus Avenue and Accept Proposal from <br />Quinzon Outdoor in the amount of $1,475 to grade an overflow swale. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes clarified she was not blaming Acting Public Works Director Anderson <br />for this concern. <br /> <br />The motion carried (5-0).
