LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 Page 8 of 8 MOTION TO AMEND: Mayor Pearson moved TO AMEND THE MOTION BY ADDING THE LANGUAGE “CONTINGENT UPON THE CITY’S APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE WILDFLOWER AT LAKE ELMO PUD THAT CONFORMS SUBSTANTIALLY WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN WITH THE CONVEYANCE AND/OR PROTECTION OF THE PLANNED OPEN SPACE AREAS OF THE CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AS STATED THEREIN.” Council Member Reeves seconded the motion to amend. MOTION TO AMEND PASSED 5-0. ORIGINAL MOTION PASSED 5-0. ITEM 23: 39TH STREET NORTH: STREET AND SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS – CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 City Engineer Griffin explained the reason for the change order. Engineering conducted some water system analysis and determined that by increasing the size of a section of the 39th Street watermain project from 12 inch to 16 inch, the City can eliminate the need for a water tower. The change order amount is $118,975.00. The cost of the otherwise needed water tower is $2.1 Million. Finance Director Bendel confirmed that the City could pay for this and then the shortfall would be added to 2015 bonding. MOTION: Council Member Smith moved TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR THE 39TH STREET NORTH: STREET AND SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $118,975.00. Council Member Bloyer seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED 5-0. ITEM 24: DISCOVER CROSSING REPAIRS – TA SCHIFSKY QUOTE – $21.9K City Administrator Zuleger provided overview of the item. This has been an ongoing issue for 6 years. The issue includes stormwater problems that have resulted because there is no curb on the island. It was explained that the funds will be taken out of the stormwater fund. Staff suggested that the amount be increased to $24,000. MOTION: Council Member Smith moved TO APPROVE AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $24,000 TO DO THE REPAIRS NEEDED AT THE DISCOVER CROSSING CIRCLE. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED 5-0.
