E-Mailed to Council on 5/3/O1 at 11:34 a.m. <br /> April 25, 2001 Council Minutes <br /> X. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> 1. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Electrical Plans <br /> 1VIr. Peterson presented electrical plans for Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for Council's <br /> review. <br /> Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the City could tap into the electrical line at any <br /> point if future wiring is determined. Mr. Peterson stated that the transformer is the most <br /> viable starting point for same. <br /> Mr. March questioned the purpose of the power-line crossing overhead versus under the <br /> parking lot. Mr. Peterson stated that same was determined by Xcel Energy. Xcel Energy <br /> suggested that burying feeder lines under asphalt was not a good idea due to potential <br /> problems, accessibility and cost effectiveness. Mr. Peterson stated that he would contact <br /> Xcel Energy to ascertain if they may have additional suggestions for the line. <br /> Mr. March stated he would prefer under ground power, if possible, to preserve the <br /> appearance of open space in the park. <br /> Consensus was that the power line be placed underground depending upon cost. Mr. <br /> Peterson stated that the power would be under ground subsequent to crossing the parking <br /> lot. <br /> Mr. Ray DeVine requested that Mr. March forward copies of the plans to the Parks and <br /> Recreation Committee for their review. <br /> Mr. March questioned whether the timeline for completing the project would be <br /> jeopardized by waiting for input from the Parks and Recreation Committee. Mr. Peterson <br /> stated that he could issue an addendum for up to five (5) days prior to the bid and did not <br /> believe it to be a problem. <br /> 2. Surface Water Mana�ement Plan Proposal <br /> Mr. Peterson briefly reviewed the Surface Water Management Plan. <br /> Mayor Swedberg clarified that the City is required to have a Surface Water Management <br /> Plan that is complimentary to its Comprehensive Plan and, in order to do that, tasks 1 <br /> through 6 need to be completed. Mr. March concurred. Mayor Swedberg questioned <br /> whether Public Works Staff or NIr. Peterson would perform the other items contained in <br /> I the report. Mr. Peterson stated that he would develop a checklist and Public Works Staff <br /> could complete some of the tasks to reduce expenditures. <br /> I <br /> Page 6 of 12 <br />
