MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JUNE 27, 2000 <br />LITTLE <br />CANADA <br />ROAD <br />IMPROVEMENT <br />The City Administrator asked the Council's position on the matter <br />of electrical outlets on the street lights to be installed as part of the <br />Little Canada Road improvement. Morelan indicated his support for <br />the installation of the outlets, pointing out that the cost will increase <br />dramatically if they need to be installed later. He also felt that if the <br />outlets are available, they will be put to use and would be a nice amenity <br />for the area. Morelan felt it would be shortsighted not to include the <br />outlets. <br />Scalze indicated that while she feels strongly that utilities in the area <br />should be buried, she does not feel the same way about the installation of <br />the outlets. Scalze pointed out that there was no provenjustification for <br />the outlets other than they might be nice to have some day. Therefore, she <br />did not support the installation of the outlets at this time. <br />Fahey felt it was best to include the outlets of flzis time, and he did not <br />want to be shortsighted on this matter. <br />Pedersen stated that he was not in favor of the outlets. <br />It was the consensus of the Council to table action on this matter until the <br />full Council was present. <br />Council discussed the issue of burying utilities for the seven residential <br />properties on Little Canada Road as part of the project. They also <br />reviewed the street lighting contract with NSP for decorative lighting as <br />parC of the project. The City Administrator reported that it appears likely <br />the City can use MSA funding to assist in the cost of the decorative streets <br />Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOL UTION NO. 2000-6-158 -APPROVING TIIE INSTALLATION <br />OF UNDERGROUND SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENTIAL <br />PROPERTIES ALONG LITTLE CANADA ROAD AS PART OF THE <br />STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AS RECOMMENDED BY <br />CITY STAFF, APPROVING THE STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT <br />WITHNORTHERNSTATES POWER FOR DECORATIVE STREET <br />LIGHTING AND AUTHORIZING TKE MAYOR AND CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT ON BEHALF <br />OF THE CITY <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan. <br />Ayes (4) Scalze, Morelan, Pedersen, Fahey. <br />Nays (0).
