Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 9, 2008 • Page 17 Councilmember Ihlan advised that she would be voting against the motion, opin- ing that it was not the right funding mechanism; and that a better risk to taxpayers would be to spend $50,000 in the budget rather than $2 million. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Pust; Roe and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried. 12. f. Consider Authorizing a Geothermal Contract Parks and Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke presented a summary of the request for Council action dated June 9, 2008 for consideration of a contract for the skat- ing center arena geothermal project. Discussion included contract provisions and any revisions; redundancy in addi- tional well holes; rationale for staff seeking authority to execute the additional contract language based on pending negotiations between the City and contractor; and the City Council's desire to be involved in whether to go forward with the additional holes or not. The contractor agreed to provide staff with the additional costs, following nego- tiations, at a future June meeting, preferably the June 16, 2008 meeting. Klausing moved, Willmus seconded, authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Harty Mechanical to install a "full" geothermal sys- tem at the Roseville Skating Center Arena for an amount not to exceed $2,217,400, plus a $225,000 contingency, pending final approval of documents by the City Attorney. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Ihlan; Pust; Roe and Klausing. Nays: None. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, authorizing the City Manager to approve the cost of the additional wells necessary to be prepared for the next phase of the campus geothermal plan as understood and presented and included in the contract amount, based upon relative per foot and per hole costs, as appropriate, amended to read: subject to final City Council approval. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Ihlan; Pust; Roe and Klausing. Nays: None. Mr. Brokke introduced Bill Karges from KGI and members of his team, serving as architect and engineers for the project; and Patrick Harty from Austin, MN, contractor for the project.
