<br />MINUTES <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCII. MEETING <br />JULY23,1986 <br />PAGE 2 <br />PROPOSID RESOLUTION RELATING TO SNELLING AVENUE LANDSCAPING APPROVED <br />Barnes presented the proposed resolution and explained it pertained only <br />to the landscaping plans for Snelling Avenue, however, Council felt the <br />wording in the resolution indicated approval of other than landscaping. <br />Following a discussion Chenoweth moved, seconded by Hard, adoption of the <br />resolution but changing the wording to limit approval to applicable pages <br />of the plan (relating to landscaping, etc.). Motion carried unanimously <br />RESOLUTION R-86-29 <br />A RESOLUTION RELATING TO STATE PROJECT 62-63 (51=125), <br />STATE PROJECT 6219-99 (51=125), FEDERAL PROJECT STATE <br />FUNDS (SNELLING AVENUE FROM COMO TO HIGHWAY 36) <br />PARTIAL PAYMENT TO AUSTIN P. KELLER CONSTRUCTION APPROVID <br />Hard moved, seconded by Ciernia, approval of partial payment in the amount <br />of $43,765.36 to Austin P. Keller Construction for Tatum/Coffman <br />Improvements. Motion carried unanimously. <br />DISCUSSION OF PROPOSID ASSESSMENTS FOR HAMLINE AVENUE AND CRAWFORD ALLEY <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />Ciernia expressed his concerns with proposed assessments for Hamline <br />Avenue such as charging a property owner for both collector and frontage <br />streets, was of the opinion it would be appropriate to use MSA funds to <br />cover some of the cost of the storm sewer on Hamline as the city had been <br />moving toward participation in storm drainage costs, and offered some <br />alternate plans for payment for the pro~eets. Baldwin stressed the <br />importance of following the assessment policy which was adopted to assure <br />equitable assessments for all property owners, but agreed the city had <br />participated in abatement of some storm sewer charges either through tax <br />increment or MSA funds. Following the discussion Ciernia moved, seconded <br />by Wallin, the use of city general funds to cover the cost of the storm <br />sewer portion of the Hamline Avenue project. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Council discussed assessment of the alley north of Larpenteur running from <br />Arona to Snelling Drive and whether or not the six residential properties <br />should be charged the extra cost of rushing construction in the fall oP <br />1985 when it was done to accommodate the businesses. Chenoweth moved, <br />seconded by Wallin, abatement of 50K of the residential share of the alley <br />construction. Motion carried unanimously. <br />PRESENTATON BY MAIER, STEWART AND ASSOCIATES, INC. (CONSULTING ENGINEERS) <br />John Stewart presented and reviewed a document explaining the firms <br />capabilities, qualifications, and experience, and requested that Council <br />consider hiring their firm if a change in engineering firms is desired. <br />Also present was Terry Maurer who would be assigned to Falcon Heights if <br />the firm is hired. <br />NEWLY INSTALLED WATERMAIN AT 1666 COFFMAN TO BE RELOCATID TO MEET ST.
