Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 23, 2015 Page 5 Reject Bids for Evergreen Park Stormwater Improvements Willmus moved, Etten seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11215 (Attachment A) entitled, "Resolution REJECTING Bids for Evergreen Stormwater Re-use Pro- ject." At the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Engineer Culver reviewed the status of grant funds, the need to spend funds by the end of 2015, with staff cur- rently in discussion with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) on a possible extension if an alternate solution could be found. Mr. Culver clarified that, since the earth work part of bids were all inclusive, and therefore difficult to say how much of the bids were related to the extra cost for that depth needed for the system. If the contract was rebid and in light of the much higher bids received from other firms, Mr. Culver advised that there was a risk that another low bid in the future may come in at a much higher cost as well. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. 9. Consider Items Removed from Consent 10. General Ordinances for Adoption 11. Presentations a. Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS) Presentation Mayor Roe welcomed NYFS President & CEO Jerry Hromatka for the annual presentation of the organization. Mr. Hromatka noted that of the original 10 mu- nicipalities founding this partnership, thirty-eight years later, there remained 9 of those original 10 original supporters, creating a unique partnership to reach youth and families. With its recent merger, Mr. Hromatka noted that the newly-named Northeast Youth Family Service program had increased from two to three school districts and fifteen municipalities. Mr. Hromatka noted that the three major foci of NYFS were: mental health, youth development and day treatment, serving over 4,000 youth, families and individuals in the area with a $3.2 million annual budget of which the City of Roseville currently contributes $52,000. Mr. Hromatka thanked the City of Roseville for their ongoing support, and sum- marized the mission, current projects, trends, and successes and/or challenges, and future programs planned by the NYFS.
