MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARK GRAHAM RE: KEITHSON AREA POND IMPROVEMENTS DATE: MARCH 5, 1992 FILE NO: 520-029-20 The pUblic hearing for the Keithson Area Pond Improvements is scheduled for the March 9, 1992 City Council meeting. Following discussion at the February lO, 1992 City Council meeting, we met with residents along Keithson Drive who have properties directly affected by construction. This meeting was arranged so that both the residents and City staff would have a clear understanding of the work to be . accomplished. The homeowners raised issues previously not discussed, such as reconfiguring the pond outlet to save t~ees and the storm sewer outlet pipe from Keithson Drive. We have also met with City Attorney Jerry Filla, City Planner John Bergley, and Mr. Blake Davis to discuss easement acquisition modifications from Mr. George Reiling's property. These modifications include reducing the size of the easement and constructing the project to avoid impacts on future lots that may be developed. Based on discussions with the above listed people, the scope of work for this project must be expanded to include additional grading of the pond and modification of the plans. While the additional work is not major and does not significantly change the scope of the project, City Attorney Filla has indicated that rebidding of the project is warranted since work is being altered from the present plans. We therefore recommend that the City Council reject all previous bids received on February 6, 1992, and authorize modification of the existing plans and advertisement for bids for the project. We will be in attendance at the March 9, 1992 City Council meeting to further discuss this matter.
