FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -11- May 5, 2004 Consider approval of an ordinance amending Chanter 9 of the Falcon Hei hts City code concerning vehicle sales (continued) Subdivision 2. Nonresidential District. Motor, commercial, and recreational vehicles shall not be displayed "for sale" or sold within nonresidential districts unless as part of an approved licensed sales dealership or for short term parking (12 hours or less) if the vehicle is owned by an employee of said business where the vehicle is parked with the consent of the business owner. SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage. ADOPTED this 5th day of May, 2004, by the City Council of Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Planning Chair Harris said the Minnesota Street Road Association's annual weekend at the State Fairgrounds presents issues for her neighborhood. People park along the frontage roads, put chairs on their vehicles, have loud music and drink beer. They block the frontage roads so it is impossible for the residents. Administrator Worthington said that prior to the State Fair each year, the City restricts parking on particular streets in the City, and the Snelling Avenue frontage roads are included in this • action. The City could do this earlier, before the Minnesota Street Road Association`s Back to the 50's weekend on June 17-20. The general consensus of the Council was to instruct City staff to do an early installation of restricted parking signage before the MSRA Back to the 50's Weekend on June 17-20. The signage will remain in place until after the State Fair. Affected residents will be accommodated by the City as necessary. Award contract for Curtiss Field improvement project Administrator Worthington said the bid opening for the Curtiss Field improvement project was held earlier in the day. As part of the Municipal Agreement with MN DOT, the low bid contractor had to be approved by MN DOT before Falcon Heights could award the contract. Bids were received from two companies, as outlined below: 1. Jay Bros., Inc. $323,702.71 2. Environmental Assoc. $492,972.40 The engineer's construction cost estimate for this project was $357,546.00. The low bid from Jay Brothers, Inc. is approximately 9.5% below the engineer's estimate. The City will only be responsible for $238,825.40 of the total cost, and the balance will be covered by grants from MN DOT and draws against the City's MSA account, as well as the park dedication fee paid • by Sherman & Associates. MN DOT has reviewed the two bids and has approved the low bid from Jay Bros., Inc. ~G
