Memorandum <br />DATE: July 14, 2008 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br />FROM: James E. Studenski, City Engineer <br />RE: Russian Baptist Church <br />shA b u. t ® . <br />'7l,y log <br />The Russian Baptist Church completed all the landscaping late last fall on the <br />property. This spring there have been trees that have died vegetation that did grow <br />and some erosion issues. We have been working with the Church and their <br />landscaping company to get these issues corrected. We have just been informed that <br />the landscaping company filed bankruptcy on June 27, 2008. <br />We had a meeting today with the Church and the City Attorney. The City will send out <br />a letter tomorrow to the Church notifying them that we will use the securities held on <br />the development to complete the corrective measures. The City will hire out the work <br />to be performed and has adequate funds to do the work with the $25,000 security. <br />The Site Performance Agreement requires 10 days to elapse from receipt of the <br />notification to use the securities before the funds can be made available. The Church <br />feels this is the best way to finish the work because their contractor no longer is a <br />viable option. <br />Contact me with any questions. <br />600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014-1182 <br />Phone: 651 -982 -2400 • Fax: 651- 982 -2499 <br />
