<br />City of CenterviIle <br />City Council Meeting <br />September 24, 2008 <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the City staff is so short-handed that they <br />were not able to do it. He stated that the contractor proved early on that overseeing <br />the project is needed. He added that maybe they could supplement some with City <br />staff to reduce the costs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar inquired whether the budget increase is because of the <br />inability of City Public Works employees to help as much as needed, or whether <br />there would have still been an increase. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that the increase would have been a lot less if they had <br />been able to use their Public Works employees as much as needed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar inquired whether they could go to Anoka County for <br />additional cost. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that Anoka County never intended to provide <br />detailed inspection of the project. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that part of this was a pure under-estimation. He added <br />that it is difficult to estimate accurately when they are not in charge of the project. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra agreed that they have been short staffed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that he would like to give it more thought and ask more <br />questions. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether they are way over budget now. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that yes, they are over budget, mainly because of the <br />storm and the loss of a City staff person. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that there is no question this needs to be done. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that he would still like to get more questions answered. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Lee. seconded by Council Member Lakso. to table <br />consideration of the CSAH 14 Bud2et Amendment until the next City Council <br />Meetin2.
