AGENDA ITEM – 1I <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: November 18, 2019 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Karth Lake Expenditures Discussion <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> N/A TBD Storm Water Management Fund <br /> <br />For Council Consideration <br /> <br />The City Council may consider giving direction or feedback on future Karth Lake related <br />expenditures. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City Council discussed upcoming Karth Lake expenditures at their September work session, <br />specifically, purchasing a new pump and control panel. The memo from the previous meeting is <br />attached for reference (see Attachment A). At the previous Council work session, Council <br />debated to what extent, if any, the Council should be responsible for replacing the Karth Lake <br />pump and associated control panel. The Council also discussed the Karth Lake Improvement <br />District putting funds away annually to finance future expenditures. Following the discussion, <br />Council requested the Council Liaison, Mayor Grant, attend the Karth Lake Improvement <br />District meeting and discuss next steps. Both the Mayor and Interim Public Works Director/City <br />Engineer attended the recent Karth Lake Improvement District meeting and will be seeking <br />Council input on moving forward with the Karth Lake Improvement District. Public Works is <br />still obtaining quotes for the work, but the pump was originally quoted at $12,000. Depending <br />on the decision for the control panel, the original estimate was $30,000 for replacement. Public <br />Works is exploring alternative options to repair the existing panel, which would cost the City less <br />in the short run, but the control panel would also need to be relocated away from the retaining <br />wall (unless steps are taken to stabilize the retaining wall, the retaining wall will also have an <br />associated cost). The actual cost to replace the pump and any necessary work on the control <br />panel will be brought forward to the Council at a later date, but Council should discuss its cost <br />participation for the Karth Lake Improvement District. The Karth Lake Improvement District is <br />meeting again in December to discuss further. <br /> <br />
