<br /> . <br /> . Arden Hills Council 4 July 27, 1992 <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked what the cost would be to make one <br /> more attempt, perhaps by an outside contractor specializing <br /> in this type of work, to clear the existing plugged pipe. <br /> Winkel stated that he was not sure of cost, but he could <br /> investigate and hire someone if the cost is reasonable. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked if it is possible to properly <br /> maintain the existing pipe if it can be cleared. Winkel <br /> stated he expects continuing clogging problems due to the <br /> age and condition of the pipe. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked if the City has any indication <br /> from Arden Hills Island Beach Club as to the cost of <br /> easement acquisition relative to the option directing water <br /> through that area. Engineer Graham stated that through <br /> previous discussions the inference was made that easement <br /> acquisition costs would be minimal, just enough to cover <br /> legal costs, etc. <br /> Councilmember Mahowald suggested setting a limit for the <br /> cost of one final attempt to clear the existing pipe. He <br /> added that perhaps the engineer should proceed with <br /> . preparation of plans and specifications because delay may <br /> result in the inability to complete the project this year if <br /> it is ordered by Council, Council concurred, <br /> Councilmember Malone commented that although unplugging the <br /> existing pipe is most likely impossible and it would not be <br /> a permanent solution, it may be reasonable to attempt to do <br /> so if the cost is relatively reasonable because this project <br /> is not budgeted this year. <br /> Winkel stated that he would investigate the cost of renting <br /> more sophisticated equipment to make one last attempt to <br /> clear the existing pipe, and would also contact outside <br /> contractors to investigate costs. Council directed Winkel <br /> to proceed as outlined, <br /> MOTION: Mahowald moved, seconded by Hicks, to adopt Resolution <br /> 92-53 Ordering The Preparation Of plans And <br /> Specifications In The Matter Of Arden place Drainage <br /> Improvement, using the option which directs runoff to <br /> property owned by the Arden Hills Island Beach club. <br /> Motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> .
