COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 26, 1996 intersection of Glenview Drive and Glenview Lane becomes congested with parked cars belonging to persons using the Park. After reviewing this intersection with the Public Works Superintendent, he determined that installation of two "No Parking" signs should correct the problem. Council Member Neal expressed his feeling that yet more parking restriction should be initiated in the subject street area, pointing out that a large parking area is available within the Park. Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 94, as presented. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 96 - 94 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 96 Accepting Permanent Road and Utility Easements, Clearwater Creek Trunk Utility Improvement Project, Brian Wessel - Mr. Ahrens reminded Council that on June 24, 1996, it ordered Clearwater Creek trunk utility improvements, and at its August 9, 1996 meeting Council awarded the contract for construction of these improvements. Resolution No. 96 - 96 follows up by providing the City right of entry and specific legal descriptions for easements required for this project to proceed. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 96, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 96 - 96 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 97 Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids, Ash Street Watermain Project, John Powell - As background for this item, Mr. Ahrens explained that as part of the Ware Road Lift Station/Interceptor project which the Metropolitan Council has under contract, he requested that John Powell of TKDA prepare plans and specifications to install watermain on the north side of Ash Street. Additionally, with the approval of the conditional use permit and site plan review for Shoreview covenant Church which took place earlier in this meeting, it is appropriate to upgrade the water system in this area of the City at a reduced cost. The proposed upgrade is the installation of a watermain from R.H.49 to the west limit of the Shoreview Covenant Church site along the north side of Ash Street. The topographic data gathered by the Metropolitan Council will be used for the construction plan preparation and the pipe installation will be completed while the area is disturbed by the Metropolitan Council project, two measures which should reduce project costs. Plans and specifications are essentially complete, and it is anticipated that bids will be received on September 17, 1996 with a recommendation regarding award presented to Council on September 23, 1996. City Attorney Hawkins confirmed that a majority vote is sufficient to pass this item. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 97, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 10
