AGENDA ITEM 7E <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 13, 2001 <br />TOPIC: Twilight Acres Sanitary Sewer Extension <br />Resolution No. 01-115, Order Preparation of Plans and <br />Specifications <br />ii. Resolution No. 01-116, Approve Plans and Specifications and <br />Order Advertisement for Bids <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required <br />BACKGROUND: <br />This project involves the installation of sanitary sewer in the boulevard areas of Twilight <br />Acres 1st and 2nd Additions. It is a scaled back version of an earlier project, originally <br />initiated by the residents via petition in 1999. <br />A public hearing to discuss the project was held on May 14, 2001. Per the City Charter, <br />60 days must elapse between the hearing and any further action on the project. This <br />requirement has now been met. Since the hearing, no petitions have been received <br />related to this project. <br />On July 25, 2001, another Resident Poll was sent to the 32 residents. A copy of the <br />letter is attached. To the question "If the City of Lino Lakes proceeds with construction <br />of sanitary sewer, should the project be limited to the Twilight Acres 1st Addition" we <br />received 21 responses. The responses are summarized as follows: <br />11 No <br />6 Yes <br />4 Other/conditional responses <br />21 <br />The poll results show there is no consensus on the specific question posed. However, <br />as there has been no petition received in opposition to the project as proposed, we <br />recommend the City proceed with obtaining bids for the work. More detailed <br />assessment and schedule information can be presented after bids have been received. <br />Assuming the plans and specifications are ordered and approved on August 13, 2001, <br />and bids are authorized, the bids would be received by the City Council on <br />September 10, 2001. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Return to staff for further review. <br />2. Adopt Resolution No. 01-115, Order Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the <br />Twilight Acres Sanitary Sewer Extension project. <br />3. Adopt Resolution No. 01-116 Approve Plans and Specifications and Order <br />Advertisement for Bids for the Twilight Acres Sanitary Sewer Extension project. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No. 2 then Option No. 3 <br />
