Council member Sather was absent. Also in attendance were Assistant City Attorney Plunkett, Engineer Peters, Public Works Supervisor Raddatz, Deputy Clerk Zehm and Clerk-Administrator McNiesh. The Council was referred to a letter from Northdale Construction Company, Inc., dated August 18, 1986, requesting return of its bid bond and release from its contractual obligations with respect to Combined Improvement Nos. SS-83-6 and W-86-2 (New Brighton Interceptor and Truhler Water), the "Improvement". Engineer Peters pointed out that the Metropolitan Council had authorized a budget revision and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission had awarded a bid on its sanitary sewer/interceptor project. The Council then focused on the Arden Tower (Vaughan) and Naegele easement problems and Attorney Lynden's letters with respect thereto, dated respectively August 14 and 21, 1986. The Council discussed the possible deferment of the Improvement until the required easements were obtained. Engineer Peters noted that temporary provisions would have to be made to serve Edgewater . Estates with sewer, water and road access. He noted that the gravel access road to the apartment building would be lost when the sewer/water project goes ahead and that these temporary measures will add to project costs. Supervisor Raddatz reported that the lift station would need repairs soon. He indicated that the station does overflow at times but would probably run for another year--hopefully without repair. He stated that his department had made some control repairs at the station last year. After discussion, the Council concurred that the City should not proceed with the Improvement. Accordingly, Council member Hicks introduced and moved the adoption of the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO, 86-41 RESOLUTION REPEALING AWARD OF BID FOR COMBINED IMPROVEMENT NOS.
