Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 19,2012 Page 9 j. Approve a Resolution for the Final Acceptance and Maintenance for Public Improvements Constructed for Sienna Green At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen briefly reviewed this re- quest, as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated November 19, 2012. Public Comment Steve Gjerdingen, 2211 N Dellwood Street Mr. Gjerdingen clarified that he was appearing as an individual Roseville resi- dent, and not in his role as a member of the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission. Mr. Gjerdingen expressed his appreciation to the City Council for the new por- tion of sidewalk associated with the Sienna Green project, stating that it was "fantastic." However, Mr. Gjerdingen asked that, prior to the City Council tak- ing the proposed action for final acceptance of the public improvements and verifying that all work had been completed in accordance with plans and speci- fications, brush and excess vegetation needed to be cleared that was currently intruding along the pathway. Mr. Gjerdingen opined that when a new sidewalk is installed, such items should be addressed; and asked that the City Council not approve the project until that had been completed. Mr. Gjerdingen further opined that future projects have as a standard requirement a forestry provision that all vertical and horizontal clearances be followed for similar brush removal issues. Mr. Gjerdingen addressed several other pathway segments needing veg- etation and/or vines to be cleared (e.g. Fairview Avenue project recently con- structed north of County Road B-2). At the request of Mayor Roe, City Engineer Debra Bloom advised that staff would talk to respective property owners to see that those issues were taken care of. However, Ms. Bloom opined that such details needn't hold up the two-year public improvements warranty period, which was intended to address such con- cerns. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11025 enti- tled, "Final Acceptance and Maintenance for Public Improvements Constructed for Sienna Green." Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; McGehee; Willmus; and Roe. Nays: None. k.
