The Arona Pond Improvement Project will increase the pond capacity, through the installation of a lift station, restoration of infiltration component of the basin, and expanding the size ofthe pond. This projectconsists oftwo parts. The first phase is the excavation of the existing pond and installation of new outlet pipes. The second phase is the construction of the lift station located on the westerly edge of the basin. On September 29,2003, the City Council awardedthe contract for AronaPondImprovementProject; Phase I to Don Zappa and Son Excavating, Inc. ofBlaine, Minnesota. That part of the project is 90% complete. Phase ll is the installation of a lift station to regulate the elevation of the pond. Bids were solicited for Phase 11 in late December with the bid opening on January 16,2004. We are currently worl�ing with the developer and a landscape architect on the fmal restoration plan for the basin. This includes a bituminouspathway and landscaping to be constructed this spring. The cost for this project will be shared by the City and the developer. We will be bringing this to the Council in Spring.
