Minutes of Regular Council Meeting March 30, 1~8'J. .;' 2. How to best get complaints to RCWD? Harstad said that a letter is probably the best way to introduce the complaint; probably followed by personal appearance. 3. Apparent lack of communication between RCWD and the Village. It was explained that the method of emptying the low- lands in the area of County Rd. E2 was changed by RCWD, without notification to the city; this change put city sewer in danger of flooding; now RCWD is asking the city to pay for correcting the RCWD's changE\! plan. .. In discussion of RCWD's long range program to improve water quality, Council suggested that consideration be given to: 1. Changing the drainage into the lakes. 2. Controlling the level of the lakes; lowering the level in the fall to prevent flood damage in the spring; suggested a dam to raise or lower the level. Council asked if Round Lake is in the purview of RCWD's regulations; advised that the lake level is being lowered by the Dept. of Wild- life and Fisheries; noted that the aesthetics of this lake are important to the residents, the city and possibly to RCWD as well. Crichton thanked Manager Harstad for listening to Council's con- cerns, which Harstad said she would relay to the Board of Managers. County Road E. Improvement - NSP Agreement McNiesh reported that all the easements have not been received to date; therefore the NSP Agreement cannot be executed as worded. McNiesh suggested that Council may wish to consider re-wording the agreement to state that "Arden lIi1ls will acquire all ease- ments" . After discussion, Woodburn moved, seconded by Hollenhorst, that Council approve execution of the NSP agreement, as written, sub- ject to receiving all easements prior to April 1st; recognizing the fact that, without the easements, Council cannot sign the agreement. Motion carried (Woodburn, Holl'enhorst, Johnson, Crichton voting in favor of the motion; McAllister voting in opposition.) It was Council's intent to go ahead with the project, if it can. Bid Award - Water Tower Painting Christoffersen referred Council to Bid Tabulation of 6 bids received; noted that the apparent low bidder is Allied painting and Reno- vating at $17,300.00. Christoffersen recommended that Council defer awarding the bid, pending his investigation of the bidder's request to change the type of paint and method of application. Christoffersen advised that this request probably does not impact other bids received because the bid price will be the same for either of the alter- nates (as per specs or alternate proposed). - Award of Bid was deferred to the April 13th meeting. Christoffersen reported that painting of the stand pipe was not included in the specifications; advised that the stand pipe should be painted; change order may be needed to include painting the stand pipe. Payroll Hollenhorst moved, seconded by McAllister, that Council approve the Payroll as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. -2-
