• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -3- August 28, 2004 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Council member Kuettel said that on page 2, third paragraph, the address for TIES should be 1667 North Snelling Avenue, not Larpenteur. The minutes dated August 11, 2004 were unanimously approved, as corrected. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None Scheduled CONSENT AGENDA: In response to questions from Council member Lamb about the bid received for sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements (Item G2 below), Administrator Worthington said that the City Engineer sent RFP's to a number of companies. The project is small and only one bid was received. The contractor's bid is within the cost parameters determined by the City Engineer prior to the bid letting, and the City Engineer is also very familiar with the quality of the work O'Malley Construction does. Next year the City will be able to include jobs like this with the City of St. Paul when they go out for bid, which should mean cost savings for Falcon Heights because the projects will be so much bigger. . In response to questions from Council member Talbot about Curtiss Field Pond and Item G4 below, Administrator Worthington said the pond is holding about 5" of water. The pond sides are sloped so gradually the pond should not present a danger to young children. The pond is designed to be a dry pond, with the capability of holding water during rain events and draining out again. After the State Fair there will be more testing and additional material may need to be removed from the pond's bottom. During the design of the Curtiss Field improvements, the Parks Commission discussed whether or not to fence the pond and determined it wasn't necessary. The tot lot area will be fenced, which will help keep youngsters from the pond. Kuettel moved approval of the Consent Agenda, as outlined below. The motion was unanimously approved. 1.
