Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 21, 2009 Page 7 Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Roe; Ihlan; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. o. Order Feasibility Report for the Rice Street/TH 36 Bridge Reconstruction (Former Consent Item 7.j) At the request of Mayor Klausing, City Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed this request, as detailed in the Request for Council Action dated December 21, 2009; with Ramsey County moving forward with the project, in partnership with the Cities of Roseville, Maplewood and Little Canada; with a portion of the City of Roseville's improvements contemplated as potential assessments to adjoining property owners, in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes, Chapter 429. Councilmember Roe sought clarification on the scope of the Feasibility Study; whether it would relate only to the City's portion to be assessed, or for the whole project, the anticipated cost of the Study and cost allocations. Mr. Schwartz advised that the Feasibility Study would relate only to the City's portion of the proposed improvements, with approximately half of those costs for water main replacement; and the remainder for aesthetic improvements (i.e., light- ing on the bridge; pedestrian and bicycle improvements); with the cost of the study anticipated at less than $5,000 and eligible for funding through State Aid funds. Roe moved, Johnson seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10771 entitled, "Reso- lution Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Report for Rice Street / TH 36 Bridge Reconstruction Project (Attachment A)." Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Roe; Ihlan; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. p. Approve Wireless Lease Agreement for Clearwire LLC at Reservoir Woods Tower, 1091 Alta Vista (Former Consent Item 7.m) At the request of Mayor Klausing, City Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed this item, as detailed in the Request for Council Action dated December 21, 2009; noting that the City had three towers on which it leased communication antenna; with staff having reviewed and negotiated space, as detailed in the lease agree- ments attached to the report. Mr. Malinen noted that there was a benefit to the City with an additional revenue source with the City receiving approximately $19,000 per year for those leases; and automatic leases incorporated in the lease agreements, with revenue allotted to the City's Information Technology functions. Councilmember Ihlan sought clarification as to whether this was an existing tower; and whether there would be any expansion in height or width required.
