<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> APRIL 14, 2010 <br /> AT FIRE energy efficient lighting. It was noted that Xcel Energy did an energy <br /> STATION audit, the results of which was an estimated cost of $17,000 with a 7.3 <br /> year payback in energy savings. The City Administrator reported that bids <br /> would be obtained for the replacement, and the cost of the project would <br /> come from the General Capital Improvement rund. <br /> Keis asked if this was a budgeted expenditure. The City Administrator <br /> was not sure, but noted that this work has been discussed for at least the <br /> past two years. "fhe Administrator indicated that the bids would be <br /> brought back to the Council for review and approval. <br /> Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 2010-4-95 -AUTHORIZING CITYSTAFF TO <br /> OBTAIN BIDS/QUOTES FOR RETROFITTING THE CITY FIRE <br /> STATION WITH ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br /> Ayes (5). <br /> Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br /> PARK The City Administrator reviewed the Parks & Recreation Director's report <br /> IMPROVEMENTS dated Apri19, 2010 relative to park improvements in Pioneer Park and in <br /> Thunder Bay Park. Relative to the Pioneer Park improvement, the Parks <br /> & Recreation Commission is requesting funding approval for construction <br /> of a Limestone or landscape block planter on the south side of Centerville <br /> Road entrance. Also recommended is the installation of three round stone <br /> planters (extra planters the City has on hand) on a bed of paver blocks on <br /> the north side of the same entrance. Estimated cost is $4,000, about half <br /> of which is labor. The Administrator noted that the recommendation <br /> includes the use of the corrections crew for most of this labor, thus <br /> potentially reducing the cost to approximately $3,000. <br /> There was some discussion about the use of the corrections crew for this <br /> work, and the City Administrator indicated that he would review the <br /> feasibility with the Parks & Recreation Director. Tf use of this crew is <br /> feasibility, that was acceptable to the Council. The Administrator <br /> suggested that there may be another project or two that could also be <br /> coordinated with the crew. <br /> Keis questioned whether or not this project was in the budget. He <br /> suggested that going forward that staff should ensure to include all <br /> projects in the budget for better financial planning. The Administrator <br /> indicated that this project may already be in the budget, noting that he did <br /> not review the document prior to the meeting. He appreciated Keis' <br /> 18 <br /> <br />
