<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />July 27, 1992 <br /> <br />Counci1member 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 /> <br />Counci1member 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 /> <br />Counci1member 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 /> <br />Counci1member 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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />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 /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />REQUEST TO HIRE CITY <br />ACCOUNTANT TERRANCE POST <br /> <br />Council received a request and recommendation from Acting <br />Clerk Administrator Iago to hire Terrance Post, who has been <br />
