ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—August 10, 2009 8 <br /> Public Works Director Hoag stated that he did not have the information on the <br /> exact mix of asphalt that the resident had used in their driveway. He stated that he <br /> used the City's costs for typical asphalt and estimated the hours needed for the job. <br /> The estimate did not include the cost of equipment. <br /> Councilmember Homes asked if the City would normally fix it with asphalt. <br /> Public Works Director Hoag stated that the City would normally fix it with like <br /> materials, so if the driveway was asphalt they would use asphalt and if it were <br /> concrete they would use concrete. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that the estimates that Public Works Director Hoag <br /> provided for the cost of the asphalt and the number of hours involved in making the <br /> repairs has been inconsistent. It would appear that the City is paying $1,000 more <br /> than it needs to for this project. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that the asphalt used in this driveway is of a grade <br /> that will not develop a fault line or crack and it has not cracked in two years <br /> because the asphalt has not dried out. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung <br /> seconded a motion to approve the Full and Final Settlement between <br /> the City of Arden Hills and James and Julie Rechtiene in the Amount <br /> Of$1,750 for Damages Caused to the Driveway at 3327 Dunlap Street. <br /> The motion carried (4-1 — Councilmember Grant). <br /> B. TCAAP Escrow Agreement <br /> City Administrator Moorse stated that when the Offer to Purchase (OTP) with the <br /> Army/GSA related to the TCAAP property was rescinded, the GSA refunded the <br /> earnest money to the City. This earnest money was to be returned to the City's <br /> development partner, RRLD. The City is currently holding a portion of the earnest <br /> money as an offset to unpaid reimbursable expenditures. The City Attorney has <br /> recommended that the funds related to these unpaid expenses be placed into an <br /> escrow account while the City and RRLD resolve objections RRLD has regarding <br /> the reimbursable expenses. The Council, at its July 27, 2009 regular meeting, <br /> tabled action on the TCAAP Escrow Agreement to the August 10, 2009 regular <br /> meeting to enable the City Attorney to address a number of questions and concerns <br /> regarding how the agreement relates to the Preliminary Development Agreement <br /> (PDA) the City had with RRLD, particularly the dispute resolution process.
