Council Meeting March 8, 1982 159 report in the City offices. These are open for public imspection but, since the number is limited, it may be necessary to check them out. IIIMEETING WITH SHOREVIEW Shoreview had suggested March 29, 1982 as a date for this meeting. Some of the members cannot make that date, the Council therefore suggested the dates of March 30, 1982 or April 1, 1982. Mr. Schumacher will present these alternatives to Shoreview and report back to the Council. The meeting would be at 7:00 P.M. and at the Shoreview City Hall. VIDEO PRESENTATION The Council watched the video tape on Cable TV. Mrs. Elsenpeter pointed out that Fridley has 30 Channels and this many, or more, would be available for this City. There was some discussion on the timing of this installation, with Mrs. Elsenpeter explaining there are required public hearings that must be held and there will be much more information coming to the residents soon. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked Mr. Schumacher to set a time when the Cable Consultant could meet with the Council to answer their questions. The Council asked this to be arranged by Mr. Schumacher. ENGINEER's REPORT - BONDING POLICY Mr. Winner went through the report that had been prepared in conjunction llwith what is being done in various other communities, noting the differences in the requirements. Mr. Winner noted the City's that had been surveyed and the requirements of those Cities. There was discussion on the different provisions that had been noted in this survey. Mr. Hawkins pointed out some of the areas for concern. Mr. Schumacher felt that an overall time limit would work against some developers and each project should be considered on an individual basis. Mr. Reinert indicated that a hearing is coming up on this very item. He asked Mr. Winner if there was a possibility of extending the bids on the project - can the time limit be extended? Mr. Winner said he had talked with the bidders and Axel Newman, the low bidder, asked to have hsi bid withdrawn. The second low bidder, Keller Corporation, had agreed to extend their bid for thirty days at the same costs. Mr. Hawkins had discussed this with Mr. Winner and found no problems. Mr. Hawkins was instructed to draft the Developer's Policy for consideration at the March 22, 1982 meeting. This could then be considered for adoption at the April 12, 1982 meeting. This should be in place before the consider- ation of the contract for Lakes Add. #7. Mr. Marier moved to extend the bids for 30/45 days on agreement with the contractor and direct the Attorney to draft a procedure by April 12, 1982 in order for the Council to adopt the procedure and implement. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mr. Elsenpeter moved to amend the motion to have the developer's agreement and the guideline police by March 22, 1982. Seconded by Mr. Marier.
