APPROVED AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 19, 2006 (3) Fire Station No. 2 Upgrades: The Fire Chief informed Council that bids were received for upgrades to Fire Station #2, approaching it as a two-part project. The first stage will be the degreasing and painting of the walls. Also, the floors would be cleaned, striped and sealed. The second stage will be the construction of a "day room" in the center stall, improvement of storage space and upgrading the existing office space. The Firefighters have agreed to provide the labor for this project to minimise the costs. There will be expenses for materials, HVAC and some electrical work. Mayor Johnston questioned the need for the second stage improvements. City Administrator Rafferty advised that this building will be usable for another 8-10 years, which warrants at least these minimal improvements to function as a fire station over that time period. Council Member DeLapp said he supported the upgrades, and he appreciated the time and effort the Firefighters were going to provide to completing the improvements. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston — to award the bid to Volk Contracting in the amount of $8,250.00 for the painting and floor upgrade at Fire Station No. 2. (Motion passed 4-0) Following the motion and vote, the Fire Chief asked for clarification if that included authority for the Fire Department to buy the materials necessary to build the dayroom. It was suggested that it was included in the motion. 8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Water Tower Paint Color (verbal): City Engineer Prew requested confirmation from Council regarding the color of the new water tower, bowl, and the lettering. He recommended the bowl color be off-white, to match the pedestal, with maroon lettering to match the Public Works building. Council discussed the various color options. Suggestions included trying to blend the tank into the landscape, the possibility of no lettering on the tower, and asking the community to propose what words/logos (if any) should be on the tank. M/S/P Smith/Johnston — to paint the water tower base and bowl off-white, with burgundy lettering, per the City Engineer's recommendation. (Motion passed 3-1: DeLapp, too plait) B. 28th Street Petition for Street Improvement (verbal): The City received a petition, dated August 24, 2006, signed by the residents on 281b Street, requesting the street be upgraded from gravel to blacktop. Resident Robert Schumacher, 9155 28a' Street, spoke in favor of the upgrade as the streets are being dug up for the water main project. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 2006
