COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1998 <br /> Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 16, as presented. Council <br /> Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried, with Council Member Lyden voting no. <br /> Resolution No. 98 - 16 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br /> Consideration of Professional Services Agreement Between Lino Lakes and BRW, Inc. - <br /> Mr. Ahrens explained that Staff is requesting Council authorization to enter into a professional <br /> services agreement with BRW,Inc., a multi-discipline engineering firm providing civil <br /> engineering, environmental engineering,planning, and other professional services. Past <br /> experience with BRW's municipal and environmental engineering groups has been very positive. <br /> The reason for this request is due to increased demand upon the consulting engineers currently <br /> employed by the City,creating difficulty in meeting deadlines and maintaining the City's quality <br /> standards. According to Mr. Ahrens, BRW has completed previous work for Lino Lakes, <br /> including wetland delineation reports for the Village site and the Clearwater Creek Business area, <br /> as well as the Street Reconstruction Program Report. <br /> Council Member Dahl asked if the City has ever retained any other engineering consultant. Mr. <br /> Ahrens could not recall any others, and indicated that BRW promises to be a worthy addition to <br /> the present consulting staff. <br /> Mayor Sullivan asked if perhaps the City may need to consider adding to its Staff in this area. <br /> Mr. Ahrens indicated that he has considered Staff adjustments in plans for the future, but that <br /> there would be no financial gain to adding Staff as opposed to adding a consulting firm. <br /> Council Member Bergeson moved to approve an agreement for professional services between <br /> Lino Lakes and BRW, Inc. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br /> OLD BUSINESS -None. <br /> COMMUNITY CALENDAR <br /> Planning& Zoning Board Meeting, Wednesday, February 11, 1998, 6:30 p.m. <br /> Quail Ridge Park Master Planning-2nd Meeting,Thursday, February 12, 1998, 6:30 p.m., <br /> Fire Station <br /> City Hall Closed, Monday, February 16, 1998 <br /> Citizens' Advisory Group,Tuesday, February 17, 1998, 7:00 p.m. <br /> Friends of the Park,Tuesday, February 17, 1998, 7:00 p.m. <br /> Council Work Session, Wednesday, February 18, 1998, 5:30 p.m. <br /> 6 <br />
