MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R. Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little - canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel R Hanson, City Administrator DATE: June 23, 2000 RE: Little Canada Road Reconstruction The following issues need to be addressed regarding the above - referenced project: Electric Outlets on Street Lights Greg Schroeder has estimated that outlets on 28 streetlights would cost $8,960. As has been discussed, the costs would more than double if they would be added later. Given our overall project costs, my recommendation is that if the Council feels we will ever want to implement holiday (or other decorative) lighting, then we should authorized the expenditure at this time. If we are not interested in this type of lighting, then I would not incur the additional cost. Underground Service to Seven Properties It is estimated that to provide underground service to residential properties resulting from our burying of the overhead power lines will cost $1,000 per residence. Given the fact that we are initiating this change, I would recommend the City authorize this additional project cost. Street Lighting Contract To install decorative streetlights will cost $241,523. We have still not received a definitive answer on the use of Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds for this expenditure. We are hopeful it will be allowed. In any event, this is a critical component of the overall project and I would recommend we authorize the contract as presented. Agreement with Ramsey County I have not yet received a final copy of the agreement between Ramsey County and Little Canada regarding this project. The County is aware of our timeline and I anticipate having a document for your consideration at Tuesday's meeting. Page 17
