COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1998 <br />Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 16, as presented. Council <br />Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried, with Council Member Lyden voting no. <br />Resolution No. 98 - 16 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />Consideration of Professional Services Agreement Between Lino Lakes and BRW, Inc. - <br />Mr. Ahrens explained that Staff is requesting Council authorization to enter into a professional <br />services agreement with BRW, Inc., a multi -discipline engineering firm providing civil <br />engineering, environmental engineering, planning, and other professional services. Past <br />experience with BRW's municipal and environmental engineering groups has been very positive. <br />The reason for this request is due to increased demand upon the consulting engineers currently <br />employed by the City, creating difficulty in meeting deadlines and maintaining the City's quality <br />standards. According to Mr. Ahrens, BRW has completed previous work for Lino Lakes, <br />including wetland delineation reports for the Village site and the Clearwater Creek Business area, <br />as well as the Street Reconstruction Program Report. <br />Council Member Dahl asked if the City has ever retained any other engineering consultant. Mr. <br />Ahrens could not recall any others, and indicated that BRW promises to be a worthy addition to <br />the present consulting staff. <br />Mayor Sullivan asked if perhaps the City may need to consider adding to its Staff in this area. <br />Mr. Ahrens indicated that he has considered Staff adjustments in plans for the future, but that <br />there would be no financial gain to adding Staff as opposed to adding a consulting firm. <br />Council Member Bergeson moved to approve an agreement for professional services between <br />Lino Lakes and BRW, Inc. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />OLD BUSINESS - None. <br />COMMUNITY CALENDAR <br />Planning & Zoning Board Meeting, Wednesday, February 11, 1998, 6:30 p.m. <br />Quail Ridge Park Master Planning -2nd Meeting, Thursday, February 12, 1998, 6:30 p.m., <br />Fire Station <br />City Hall Closed, Monday, February 16, 1998 <br />Citizens' Advisory Group, Tuesday, February 17, 1998, 7:00 p.m. <br />Friends of the Park, Tuesday, February 17, 1998, 7:00 p.m. <br />Council Work Session, Wednesday, February 18, 1998, 5:30 p.m. <br />6 <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
