1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 23, 1991 <br />Mayor Bisel noted that on the north side of the freeway, Emtech, <br />Inc. will build a very important site. He suggested that if Fina <br />Oil is looking at attracting customers, they should redevelop the <br />site. He noted that once the new tanks are in place, it would be <br />costly to move them. <br />Council Member Bohjanen asked if Fina Oil would consider moving <br />the diesel fuel pumps to the north and move the sign to the west. <br />He asked that they look again at the site for an improved <br />operation. <br />Mr. Dege told the Council that this is the first he has heard <br />regarding Mr. Rehbein's proposal for a land swap. He explained <br />that moving the sign higher will gain visibility for trucks going <br />north on the freeway. He also noted that at this time a totally <br />new facility is an impossibility. Mr. Dege also explained that <br />they have studied the site very carefully and the best situation <br />for trucks is to get the truck traffic to go around the building <br />to the pumps. Mr. Dege explained the tanks have to be removed <br />and he is looking for a determination on most issues. He <br />explained the sign issue can be delayed. Mr. Dege said that if <br />this project is not done this year, it may not be done for <br />several years. There is a need to move ahead with capital <br />improvements at this time. <br />Mr. Miller said that he has been listening the to various <br />concerns and several suggestions made this evening. He also <br />noted that several issues were raised that he was not aware of. <br />Also the Council has made a good effort to move the matter as <br />fast as possible. Mr. Miller suggested that this matter be <br />tabled until October 14, 1991 to allow time to prepare a complete <br />package for the Council to act on. <br />Council Member Reinert moved to table action on this matter until <br />October 14, 1991. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />ENGINEER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) <br />Resolution No. 95 - 91 Awarding Bids for the Elevated Water <br />Storage - Mr. Schneider explained that three (3) bids were <br />received for two (2) different styles of elevated tanks and two <br />(2) different sizes of tanks. The bids were considered at the <br />previous Council meeting, however, the land for the site of the <br />elevated storage tank was not available. The landowner has now <br />signed a right of entry. Mr. Schneider recommended that the <br />Council award the bid for a 1,000,000 gallon tank to Pitt -Des <br />Moines, the low bidder with all alternates for a total of <br />$836,000.00. <br />PAGE 14 <br />112 <br />
