. . . OF", !:'c' FT " '~{A ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - SEPTEMBER 20,1999 5 Mr. Stafford stated that the cost of the pipe, depending on the size, was more of a cost issue than the actual labor for installation. Mayor Probst left the meeting momentarily, and turned the gavel over to Acting Mayor, Beverly Aplikowski, After further discussion, and Mayor Probst's return to the meeting, staff was directed to notify property owners by letter of projected costs at 100% assessment plus connections, and schedule an informational meeting to be held at a future Council meeting, at which point, the City Council will make a determination as to whether or not to proceed with ordering a Preliminary Feasibility Report, If, following that infoffi1ation meeting, the project moves forward, the next step would be for the Council to prepare plans and specifications with the water main as the base bid, and other Old Highway 10 repair work as an alternate. c. Pavement Manal!:ement Prol!:ram (PMP)/2000 Proiect Scope Mr. Post provided an overview and reviewed the proposed neighborhood approach for future Pavement Management Program (PMP) project scope, Greg Brown, City Engineer with BRW, Inc" presented final recommendations to the City Council for candidate projects lor proposed 2000 street improvement projects and their impact on the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Mr. Brown suggested that the Ingerson neighborhood be the project scope area in 2000 and that Council consider using budgeted 1999 funds on this project rather than carrying them over for future Round Lake Road, Phase II, reconstruction costs, Discussion items included street width related to cost savings and standards; significant deviation from previous approach to street projects done on a worst first basis; cul-de-sacs versus through- streets; a multi-tiered scenario with thirty-two feet for collector streets, local streets or cul-de- sacs at 28', minimal streets probably at twenty-four feet with mitigating issues being a subjective call. Further discussion included consistency in the City's assessment policy with residential streets assessed the same amount based on footage, not width; reducing pavement due to environmental concerns; use of existing spaces for storm ponding, with narrower streets in the Ingerson area, rather than needing to purchase land for ponding purposes; the need to develop additional criteria developed for future deviations; uses ofMSAS funds; use of West Round Lake Road, Phase II, funding and Surface Water Management funding; when to actually begin the neighborhood approach, and ramifications of initiating a project in the year 2000, rather than waiting another two (2) years,
