~ MEMORANDUM DATE: August 11, 2008 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Greg Hoag, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Driveway Repair 3327 Dunlap Street BACKGROUND On November 7,2007 the Public Works Department repaired a broken water main under the driveway in the city right of way at 3327 Dunlap Street. The property owners notified us that they had just replaced the driveway in the late summer and the contractor had provided the residents with a two year warranty. Due to our digging up and patching a portion of the new driveway to complete the repair of the water main, the driveway contractor informed the residents that the warranty on the driveway was now void. Over the last few months City staff and the City Attorney have been working with the residents on a settlement agreement for the damage caused to the driveway. Attached is the Settlement and Release Agreement for your review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the Settlement and Release Agreement between the City of Arden Hills and James and Julie Rechtiene in the amount of$4,140.00 for damages caused to the driveway at 3327 Dunlap Street. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION Approve the Settlement and Release Agreement between the City of Arden Hills and James and Julie Rechtiene in the amount of$4,140.00 for damages caused to the driveway at 3327 Dunlap Street, and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the agreement.
