COUNCIL MINUTES July 27, 1998 Council Member Neal asked Mr. Ahrens to get the name from the Minnesota Department of Health. Mr. Ahrens indicated he would inform Council of the individual who ordered the drain plugs. Council Member Lyden noted that the change order is approximately 1% of the original contract and moved to deny Change Order No. 1, Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Bergeson and Mayor Sullivan voting no. Mayor Sullivan asked what action can be taken if the change order is denied. Mr. Hawkins asked if there is an alternative to these hydrants. Mr. Ahrens explained that the hydrants must either be modified or the City must purchase new hydrants. New hydrants would be more expensive. If the hydrants are not modified, the City is in violation of the Minnesota Department of Health rules. Council Member Neal moved to direct staff to negotiate with the contractor to include the change order in the base contract. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Bergeson voting no. Council Member Neal asked if he could negotiate with the contractor for the change order.
