Potter of R, J. Potter, Inc. The Mayor, Mr. Robert Ashbach, opened the meeting by stating that the reason this meeting was oalled was that the eouncil of the Village oP Arden Hills considered it neaeas�ry to inquire of the Jay W. Craig Co. and its subcontractors as to whether theywere fullq awara oP the magnitufle of this improvement. Mr, qshbach also stated that the council wanted assur- ance that the contractor would bring in enough road bu11d1ng equipment and keep thia material otm the project so that the improvement aan be finished by Oct. 6, 1961. pfter some discussion bg �. Ashbach and also i�Lr. Stuurmans, Roger Short, and the writer it was agreed upop that the Valentiqe-Shorewood Hills area would be the f�rst to receive the 3mprovement of street grading and surfac- ipg. Mr. Ashbach stated that he felt this area deserved the firet consider- ation because the people in this srea were most conside�Le during the spring breakup and the roada are very poor in this area. It was also felt that the streets in Improvement area 3 ahould be veorked on wherever posaible after the streets in Improvement Area No. 4 were completed. Since a aub- stantial amount of atorm sevuer work would be neceasary in Improvement Area 3, apd since thia storm sewer work would not probably be completed in order to allow completion of atreet grading and aurfacing in Improvement Area. No. 3, the conetractoP is to work iq Improvement Area No. 5 whe4ever straet work is being delayed becauae of the storm sswer work in Improvement Area 3. The contractor�a representatives Mr. Curtiss, h;r. Stuurmans aqd P�. London agreed thst thia vuas a reasonable approaoh to the method in which the atreet work in the area could be aacomplished and they could find no particular reason why the improvement could not progress in the manner outliped. Mr. Curtiss stated, upon questioning, that the E. Markham Construction Co. aould be doing all excavation and grading work for the three improvements, also that theR. J. Potter Construction Co. woald be installing all of the various storm sewer work except where extension of centerline eulverts or othgr culnert work other thanstorm sewer work was to be done. The Jay W. Craig Co. is to produce, deliver, and place all sand and granel subbase material, stabilize gravel, and bitumiqous surfacing work. The suhcontractor, R. J. Potter, Inc., stated that they were ready to ster� work immediately and that conatruction would start as aoob as posaible. It was determined that probably construction could start on Monday, June 26, by the installation of storm sewer on Venus Ave. and in the area of Fsir�iew and Venus iqtersection. Street grading work would probably be delayed for one to two weeks, or about July 10. Sand and gravel backfill and stabilized backfill work will follow excavation and gradin� work immediately after the excavation has been completed and approved by the engineer. This procedur,o will leave the completed street excavation open a very minimum of time. � I
