APPROVED: MARCH 18, 2003 C. Contract for Well Head Protection Plan In his letter dated February 26, 2003, the City Engineer advised that the Minnesota Dept. of Health requires a Well Head Protection Plan whenever a new public well is drilled. The City has drilled two new wells within the past year (#2 for the Old Village System, and #3 for the future Eagle Point System). The Engineer proposes Well Head Protection Plans for all three City wells at a total cost estimate to be $20,000, over a two year plan development period. The funds would be paid from the capital element of the Water Enterprise Fund (601). Planner Dillerud indicated this requirement predated the two new wells and it would have been nice if it was in the bond issue. M/S/P Siedow/Dunn — to authorize TKDA to prepare a Well Head Protection Plan in accordance with the Proposal dated February 18, 2003 at an estimated cost of $20,000 to be funded from the capital portion of the Water Enterprise Fund (601). (Motion passed 4- 0.) D. 2003 Seal Coating and Crack Sealing Program The City Engineer and Acting Public Works Superintendent prepared the proposed 2003 Seal Coat/Crack Seal program for City streets. A listing of the streets programmed for 2003 work was provided. The goal of the program is to periodically and systematically undertake repairs and resurfacing of the City's streets to extend the life of those streets, and provide motorists a safe and comfortable driving surface. The approved 2003 General Fund Budget includes a $160,000 line item appropriation for this program. Council member DeLapp asked the City Engineer to look into smaller aggregate as the larger aggregate makes the surface dangerous for biking and unusable for roller blading. Prew said he would look at using larger aggregate for shoulders and on Keats Avenue and smaller aggregate for other streets. Prew said the City usually works with Washington County, but now we are doing it ourselves so early solicitation would result in favorable prices from contractors. M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to authorize the City Engineer to advertise for bids for the 2003 Seal Coat Program; and to solicit bids for the 2003 Seal Crack Program. (Motion passed 4-0). Lake Elmo Echo: Jennifer McNeil introduced herself as the editor of a new, weekly newspaper called the Lake Elmo Echo, a division of Forum Communications. This newspaper will focus fully on Lake Elmo and April 180' is the first publication date. Every mailing address in the City will get a free copy and then subscriptions will be offered. They are looking for office space in the city. E. Speed Limit Reduction to 25 MPH in certain neighborhoods LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 2003
