The Contractor has expressed concern regarding the high water level. Mr. Nyberg noted the Brian Drive residents are to be commended for their patience and cooperation during the construction. Mr. Nyberg updated the City Council on the Rice Creek Watershed Bed and Stream Bank Stabilization Program. It is not contingent upon the City funding one third of the cost. Kate Drewry, Rice Creek Watershed District Administrator, has noted that if the residents agree to pay two thirds of the cost, the Rice Creek Watershed District will contribute one third. Council member Helmbrecht questioned when the sidewalk along Main Street will be completed. Mr. Nyberg noted weather permitting, the sidewalk should be finished this fall, hopefully as soon as next week. Council member Helmbrecht updated the City Council regarding the additional funding from Anoka County for the Main Street vertical curve. It appears from the discussions, the increase in cost for the vertical curve, if included in the scope of the County's overlay project, would have been approximately $3,000.00 due to the size of their project. Mr. Nyberg noted Jon Olson, Anoka County Highway Director, has indicated at this time the County has approximately $4,500.00 available for the funding of the additional costs for the vertical curve. Mr. Nyberg suggested the City wait until the final costs are available and continue negotiations at that time. Mayor Buckbee questioned who will be held responsible if the bituminous overlay on the County Road breaks up due to the weather conditions during application. Mr. Nyberg explained the City has a one year guaranty for the workmanship and labor from the Contractor. If the break up in the bituminous is not caused from normal wear and tear, the Contractor will be responsible. Mr. Nyberg expressed he has worked with City staff and the Contractor to develop an agreement for replacement of the trees on the Dornseif property at 1783 Peltier Lake Drive. Council member Brenner noted residents are still concerned regarding the fencing at Peltier Lake Drive culvert. Mr. Nyberg noted he has not received costs from the Contractor.
