This is likely due to settlement in the <br />trench that was dug for sanitaJY sewer installation. Although the warranty for this project <br />has expired, the contractor, Arnt Construction, does plan to correct the deficiency. The <br />contractor has indicated he would like some assistance to pay for the corrective work; <br />early convcrsations indicated that the contractor would pay for the removal and <br />replacement of the concrete, asking for the City to pay for any additional base material <br />that may be needed in preparing/ensuring a proper subgrade. Staff is expecting estimated <br />costs from the contractor in time for diseussion at the work session. These costs are <br />proposed to be funded through the General Capital Fund. <br /> <br />2006 PMP Update: As you know, construction has begun on the project. Utility work is <br />well underway- the forcemain and watermain boring has begun, as well as storm sewer <br />construction in various areas of the neighborhood. The general contractor is beginning <br />street work along Skiles Lane this wcek as welL A hrief update will be provided at the <br />work session, as the contractor's schedule can change frequently depending on site <br />conditions or unexpected delays. <br /> <br />Easements: Staff has becn diligently working to acquire the necessaJY drainage <br />easements. The Beach Club has signed a right of entry, allowing the City onto the <br />property for construction of the ponds. Once construction is complete, the actual . <br />easement document will be signed. Staff has been working with Arlene Boutin at 1600 <br />Lake Johanna Boulevard to construct another storm pond and enhanced wetland area. Ms. <br />Boutin has received documents prepared by the City Attorney, and is in the process of <br />reviewing them. Ms. Boutin has also submitted a preliminary plat for the September <br />Planning Commission meeting to reconfigure four lots to three. We have received a <br />signed easement for the construction of a boulevard catch basin along Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard. Staff is still working on three other easements over existing storm sewer that <br />the City does not currently have easements for. The worst case scenario for these three <br />situations is that the pipe will continue to exist with no easement over it. <br /> <br />Rain gardens: StatT is currently working on a memorandum of understanding to be shared <br />with each of the rain garden recipients. The memorandum will summarize the pmeess <br />for constructing the rain gardens, indicate that the rain gardens will be planted by the <br />homeowners with guidance from City and URS staff, and that the rain gardens will be <br />maintained by the homeowners. We will ask that the homeowners sign this form as a <br />good faith understanding, indicating that the document is not binding to the property in <br />any way, but a form for everyone to understand the responsibilities of all parties <br />involved. <br /> <br />Assessments: The assessment hearing is scheduled for August 28, 2006. Two items have <br />been brought up that the Council may want to discuss in preparation for the hearing. The <br />first regards how the assessment is detennined. The poliey currently states that the . <br />assessment is based on the engineer's estimate, but also states that City Council retains <br />
