COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 24, 1997 OATH OF OFFICE FOR THREE NEWLY HIRED LINO LAKES POLICE OFFICERS, • BILL HAWKINS Police Chief Pecchia introduced and City Attorney Hawkins administered the oath of office to Kyle Leibel, Mitch DeMars, and Shawn Silvera, who were recently hired by the Lino Lakes Police Department. Mayor Landers congratulated the three gentlemen and welcomed them to the City of Lino Lakes. 6:30 P.M., PUBLIC HEARING, LAKE DRIVE TRUNK SEWER AND WATER UTILITY IMPROVEMENT, DAVID AHRENS Mr. Ahrens reviewed for Council the nature of this proposed improvement as being the extension of trunk utilities along Lake Drive from 79th Street to Main Street and along Main Street to a point just west of the Lino Lakes Elementary School. He reminded Council that previously it had ordered a project along Lake Drive extending trunk sanitary sewer and water main from the intersection of Lilac and Apollo Drive north along Lake Drive to 79th Street, which is currently in the design process. The subject project area north of 79th Street and west of Lake Drive is within the MUSA boundary. Properties on the east side of Lake Drive are not included in MUSA with the exception of some parcels immediately adjacent to the intersection of Main Street and Lake Drive. Mr. Ahrens explained that the feasibility report for this project was accepted on October 13, 1997, and the public hearing was scheduled at that time for the purpose of eliciting citizen and Staff input. Should Council find that sufficient information has been gathered during the course of this evening's public hearing, it can move to close the public hearing and begin the 60 -day waiting period prior to further action regarding the project. Leonard Nuquist of SEH stated that a meeting has been held with Anoka County with respect to the installation of these utilities in an effort to avoid County facilities and to keep them within the right-of-way provided. He explained that the project is estimated to cost $513,717 for the trunk sanitary sewer, and $322,762 for the trunk water main, for a total estimated cost of $836,479. Those costs include a 10% contingency as well as a 30% allowance for engineering, financing and administrative costs. Mr. Nuquist provided the following construction schedule: Close of Public Hearing End of 60 -day Period Ordering the Project Approval of Plans Award of Contract 2 November 24, 1997 January 23, 1998 January 26, 1998 March 9, 1998 April 13, 1998 • •
