. . . ~ " Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, April 11, 1988 Page 3 PAVEMT MGMT (Cont'd) Peters advised that $100,000 was budgeted in 1988 for implementing the program. He stated at this time Council input and authorization to prepare plans and specifications was needed. Peters also suggested Council consider establishing and adopting an assessment policy. Council discussed the construction cost breakdown; questioned if one contractor would be used for both sealcoating and overlay and suggested the Public Works Supervisor report on the study. Peters advised one contractor would be used for construction. Raddatz reported that the $100,000 budgeted does not include the engineering fees; he suggested eliminating the low priority streets scheduled to be done in order to incorporate engineering fees so that the budgeted funds are not exceeded. Councilmember Hansen agreed the engineering fees should be incorporated into the funds budgeted and that the Council should adopt an assessment policy. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Resolution No. 88-12, Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Pavement Management Plan , as outlined in the Engineering Report from Short Elliot and Hendrickson dated 3-15-88, and the expenditure of funds, not to exceed the $100,000 budgeted in 1988, and incorporating engineering fees in the budgeted amount. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISOR WATER TOWER CONTROLS Council was referred to a memorandum from Public Works Supervisor dated 4-8-88, recommending the control from the old water tower be moved and installed in the new water tower immediately. Raddatz reported he had discussed the recommendation with SEH and received an approximate cost estimate from Automatic Sprinkler Systems Company in the amount of $5,028.00. He stated a firm price on moving the controls would be forthcoming and he would report back to Council at the next Regular Council meeting of 4-25-88. Raddatz further advised that he would explore funding sources for this project, as it was not a budgeted item. EDGEWATER ESTATES; SOIL EROSION PROBLEM Councilmember Winiecki questioned if the Public Works Supervisor was aware of the soil erosion problem which is occurring at Edgewater Estates, on old Highway 10. Raddatz advised he was aware of the problem; he suggested the developer be contacted to construct a silt fence to control the erosion. Barry Peters, SEH, advised the developer was required to place seed in the area last fall, however, the seed did not take. Clerk Administrator Morrison advised she would review the Development Agreement for that project for stipulations regarding soil erosion; upon determining the new owner of the property and transfer of responsibility to such owner, she would forward a letter, on behalf of the Council, requesting correction of the problem. ROYAL HILLS NORTH; EROSION & DRAINAGE PROBLEMS Council discussed the erosion problem at Royal Hills North; an additional $606.50 was included in the contract to cover cleaning of mud from the streets prior to paving, per SEH Change Order No.4. Councilmembers the City has to pay rather than the developer or expressed concern that contractor. Public Works Supervisor Raddatz reported that cost estimates will be forthcoming relative to finishing the water drainage ditch which caused the problems creating erosion of rear yards in this area. He also advised the contractor would be responsible for repair of the sinking roadway, which was caused by moving water services prior to construction of the sewer interceptor. STATUS REPORT; LJVFD CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS Mayor Woodburn reported on the LJVFD contract negotiations; noting the 1988 proposed budget for the fire department had been reduced from $190,000 to $175,000.
