He stated the start date would be August 27,2001. He noted the candidate was formerly with the City of Mounds View. Mr. Lynch stated the City Hall waterproofing system was either not installed properly or failed during the backfill process. He noted it was collecting water. He added he had a meeting with the contractor. He stated the contractor would dig around the foundation, remove the faulty system, install a new system, and backfill the area. He noted the work would delay the completion of the parking lot and the move-in date. He added that after tomorrow's meeting he would have more information. . Councilmember Grant asked about the water line for Mounds View High School. Mr. Lynch responded they would core drill in the city's existing easement so the school would have the water supply and pressure it needed. He stated they would continue to discuss the easement with the landowners. He noted the owners had yet to name a figure. He added the owners felt the core drill would entitle them to have compensation. Councilmember Grant asked if this was a trench-less procedure with no disruption to the landscaping. Mr. Lynch responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Rem asked about keeping the easement clear and adding fencing. Mr. Lynch responded the school district had agreed to fence off the end of it. Councilmember Rem asked about changes to the existing landscaping. Mr. Lynch responded the homeowner could retain the original landscaping. COUNCIL COMMENTS . Councilmember Larson asked that given the change in plans regarding the drainage problem was it still their intention to have the dedication of City Hall and associated activities at the time they had originally discussed. Mr. Lynch responded they could not have the dedication on September 29,2001. He stated they would not have a finished parking lot or landscaping. He noted they should try for the October date.
