COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 27, 1997 Resolution No. 97 - 64 can be found at the end of these minutes. Resolution No. 97 - 65, Final Payment, 49/23 Intersection Improvement - Mr. Ahrens explained the Trunk Highway 49 and County State Aid Highway 23 intersection project is complete and final quantities tabulated. He explained the proposed resolution allows final payment on the project to the contractor, Forest Lake contracting, and starts the one-year warranty period. Since Forest Lake Contracting has submitted the necessary withholding affidavits but not yet submitted lien waivers from subcontractors, staff recommends approval of final payment contingent upon receipt of all lien waivers. Mr. Ahrens noted that authorizing final payment allows the City to invoice Anoka County for their share of the project, approximately $658,320. He reviewed the original contract amount was $1,295,564.52, final contract quantities amount was $1,459,082.09, and supplemental and work orders equaled $128,079.75 for a total construction amount of $1,587,161.84. Mr. Ahrens explained the final contract amount resulted in a $291,597.32 increase from the original contract amount and the portion of this amount that is Lino Lakes' share is $13,703.44. Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 65 contingent upon receipt of all lien waivers from Forest Lake Contracting. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 65 can be found at the end of these minutes. Mr. Ahrens updated the Council with regard to the one pending litigation with a property owner abutting this project. Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 69, Vacating the Remaining Portion of Industrial Boulevard - Continued - Mayor Landers noted this item had been tabled previously tonight. Mr. Wessel reviewed his recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 69 which will approve the vacation with no compensation to the City. It was noted that as the project is presently designed, it cannot proceed without City water and sewer. Council Member Kuether asked if the decision should wait until it is known if sewer and water will be extended. Mr. Wessel recommended the vacation at this time since the property is of no use to the City and the sooner it is transferred to Boe Ornamental, the sooner they can start the process for expansion which is of benefit to the City's economical interest. He added staff would not recommend vacation if it were at all possible that this property could be of benefit to the City. Mr. Ahrens explained the need for a roadway is gone with the development of Apollo Drive and this right-of-way serves no purpose to provide access to other properties. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 69 as presented. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 69 can be found at the end of -these minutes. PAGE 17 • •
