Resolution declared adopted. <br />The City Administrator reported that he has been <br />discussing with the City Engineer sodding versus <br />seeding with regard to turf restoration as part of <br />improvement projects. The Administrator reported that <br />there are advantages and disadvantaqes with either <br />option. The estimated cost savings for the Arcade <br />Street project if turf restoration was through <br />reseeding is $30,000. Given the 4,500 lineal feet of <br />£rontage, the cost savings is over $6 per foot. The <br />City Administrator recommended that reseeding be bid as <br />an alternate. If the cost savings justifies <br />discussion, the Administrator recommended that a <br />neighborhood meeting be held to determine if the <br />property owners are interested in the reseeding option. <br />Morelan asked who would realize the cost savings under <br />the City's current assessment policy. <br />The Administrator replied that it would depend on where <br />bids come in in relation to the assessment cap. The <br />Administrator suggested that the City could also <br />consider sharing any cost-savings that might be <br />realized with the property owners. <br />Council was agreeable to the seeding option being bid <br />as an alternate. <br />ROSEVILLE Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and <br />CIRCULATOR moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 97-1-28 - INSTRUCTING STAFF TO REFER THE <br />ROSEVILLE CIRCULATOR PETITION TO THE METROPOLITAN <br />COUNCIL <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Pedersen. <br />Ayes (5) LaValle, Pedersen, Morelan, Fahey, Scalze. <br />Nays (0).
