. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 9, 1999 7 City Administrator Fritsinger clarified that tonight's requested action was only for the City Council to approve a date for the public informational meeting, and that staff would be revising the ordinance prior to presentation for final adoption. Councilmember Rem suggested that staff prepare sufficient public notice to make the average homeowner aware of the meeting, and the existence of the ordinance, to allow residents time to react accordingly. Mr. Stafford stated that he had done preliminary notices in the City's most recent newsletters, and was preparing a "Letter to the Editor" for publication in the City's official newspaper prior to the scheduled meeting. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to authorize a public information meeting at the regular City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, August 30, 1999. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Aplikowski rescinded her suggestion that the compliance period be changed from thirty to sixty days; reserving the privilege to amend the proposed ordinance at the time of adoption. C. Sanitary Sewer, Approve Increased Budget for Drainage Mr. Stafford reviewed several budgeted sanitary sewer repairs projected for 1999 and 2000, as previously identified by televising of the system, for work on Old Highway 10 and County Road E-2. These repairs would be pipe lining technology, not replacement. Mr. Post clarified that the 2000 Budget was still proposed, not adopted, even though the expenditure was identified as a projected 2000 expense. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize staff to combine two (2) referenced repairs to the City's sanitary sewer system, using budgeted 1999 and proposed 2000 monies for the combined project. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). D. Payment Request #4, Forest Lake Contracting, West Round Lake Road, Phase I Mr. Brown explained that the City of Arden Hills awarded Forest Lake Contracting the West Round Lake Road Improvement Project Phase I on March 8, 1999. Mr. Brown recommended City Council approval of Payment #4 and further stated that the request included payment for excavation, roadway, trail and sidewalk construction work completed through July 30, 1999, and that their firm was still holding a five percent (5%) retainage until completion of the project. Mr. Stafford concurred with Mr. Brown, and stated that, to-date, no problems had been encountered with this contractor, and the project remained ahead of schedule.
