515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: September 16, 1999 <br />RE: Maple Leaf Court Drainage <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As you know, we recently awarded bids for Maple Leaf Court drainage improvements <br />subject to approval by Ramsey County and the City of Vadnais Heights for their share of <br />costs. Attached is a letter recently received from the City of Vadnais Heights which <br />indicates they will not be able to provide formal approval for another 45 to 60 days. This <br />seriously jeopardizes our ability to complete this project yet this fall. <br />Given the continued erosion, I feel it is imperative the project be completed this fall to <br />eliminate the problem as well as the hazardous condition that exists. Therefore, it is my <br />recommendation we authorize the project to proceed with the understanding that we will <br />advance Vadnais Heights' share of project costs until they have completed their <br />improvement process This could mean we would be at risk for their entire share of <br />project costs if Vadnais Heights does not follow through on past commitments. (Gerry <br />Urban informed me verbally that he feels there is very little risk to this approach, but he <br />cannot authorize the city's cost participation it until their council has completed the <br />process.) <br />Cc: Terry Maurer, City Engineer <br />Terry Noonen, Ramsey County Public Works <br />Gerry Urban, City of Vadnais Heights <br />PAGE 124 <br />
