Counci 1 reviewed proposed <br />Resolution 92-16, which would order preparation of the <br />feasibility report. <br /> <br />Becky Cederstrom, 4354 West Round Lake Road. stated she <br />manages ten office and warehouse properties on West Round Lake <br />Road and tenants are threatening to end their leases due to <br />the terrible condition of the road; that some of the tenants <br />transport calibrated equipment which is endangered by the road <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Sharon Ming, representing Sewall Bros Industrial Supply at <br />4390 West Round Lake Road, expressed appreciation for the <br />temporary measures recently taken to fill some potholes, but <br />said she hoped there would be a permanent solution soon as her <br />company deals with some delicate instruments which can't be <br />safely transported over the road. She noted the suppliers <br />have complained and may eventually refuse to travel the road. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Malone moved, seconded by Growe, to Adopt Resolution 92- <br />16 ordering feasibility report in the matter of 1992 West <br />Round Lake Road improvement. Motion carried unanimously <br />(5-0). <br /> <br />Mahowald expressed his opposition to spending a sizable amount <br />of money f or a short term so 1 ution if it is apparent that <br />reconstruction and reconfiguration of the road in the near <br />future is inevitable. <br /> <br />Engineer Graham questioned if Council would be agreeable to <br />expending between $1,500 and $2,000 for soil boring tests on <br />the road surface to be completed along with the feasibility <br />report. He advised that eventually the soil borings would <br />need to be done and if they were done now, the results would <br />not change even if the reconstruction project were delayed. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to authorize the City <br />Engineer to perform soil borings on West Round Lake Road <br />at a cost not to exceed $2,000. Motion carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br />
