MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 23, 2013 <br />Superintendent indicated that the crossing work on the railroad property <br />has been completed, and the City had the remaining work left to complete. <br />Next reviewed was the Park Land Acquisition Budget. The Administrator <br />noted that $120,000 is shown for the acquisition /demolition of 56 Little <br />Canada Road He indicated that both the Council and Parks & Recreation <br />Commission have indicated support for acquiring this site along Round <br />Lake. He noted, however, that this property was not included in the <br />original list of properties that were necessary for a parks project in this <br />area. He also pointed out that the current asking price of this property <br />appears inflated. Keis stated that while it would be nice to have this <br />property, he agreed that the City could pass it up without negatively <br />impacting park improvements. <br />Next reviewed was the Water & Sewer Capital Replacement Fund. The <br />Administrator reviewed the list of major projects allocated to this fund. <br />The Public Works Superintendent explained in detail the proposed sewer <br />camera acquisition, noting that the $185,000 cost was a worse -case <br />scenario. The Superintendent reported that he is continuing to explore <br />options available, and will come back to the Council with a <br />recommendation in the future. The Administrator noted the cost of water <br />main additions at $165,000 on Australian Avenue and Schletty Road <br />proposed as part of 2014 improvements. It was noted that this will <br />essentially complete the City's water main system except for a small <br />portion of Vanderbie Street north of Allen Avenue. <br />The Administrator reported that many of the capital improvement items <br />included in the budget will be completed in 2014. These individual <br />projects will be brought back to the Council for approval. Many of the <br />projects are placeholders at this time and require additional analysis. <br />The Director encouraged the Council to aggressively pursue the <br />acquisition of 56 Little Canada Road He indicated that the Parks & <br />Recreation Commission has indicated support for this acquisition and feels <br />it would enhance the park development in this area. Blesener reported that <br />the Council has not shut the door on this acquisition. <br />ADJOURN There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m. <br />,-r <br />c�✓y <br />William Blesener, Mayor <br />7 <br />
