MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 22, 2007 Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2007-8-208 -AMENDING THE CITY'S ASSESSMENT POLICYAS PROPOSED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Allan. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CROSSWALKS The Public Works Superintendent reviewed his report dated August 13, 2007 relative to the painting of crosswalks. The Superintendent reported that the number of City crosswalks has now grown to 21. In the past Public Works staff has painted these crosswalks with latex paint. He noted that the paint lasts for only a year or less. In researching different methods for marking crosswalks in hopes of finding a longer lasting method at a reasonable price, the Superintendent felt the best solution was marking crosswalks with epoxy paint. The Superintendent reported that he has discussed the use of epoxy paint with the County Public Works Department, and they have indicated that epoxy painted markings last 5 to 7 years on County roads. The County also highly recommended Century Fence for this work The Superintendent reported that he obtained three quotes for the work, with Century Fence being slightly higher than the low quote for the painting portion of the work. The company submitting the low quote does not remove the existing crosswalk paint. It is the recommendation of the Cowrty as well as the two other bidders, that old paint be removed prior to the new paint being applied. The Superintendent reported that based on the recommendation from the County, it is his recommendation to award the work to Century Fence. McGraw also pointed out that contracting this work will free up Public Works employees for other things. Ms. Allan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2007-8-209 -AWARDING THE Q UOTE OF CENTURY FENCE FOR CROSSWALK PAINTING AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McCn~aw. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
