LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 21, 1987 PAGE 10 Deputy Clerk Mary Kueffner has called several roofing contractors since April in an attempt to get other bids. There has been no response from any of the contractors who were called. M/S/P Armstrong/Moe - to accept the bid from Bernie Meyer, Superyor Contracting of $2885.00 to repair the roof of the old City hall. (Motion carried 5-0). C. Policy on Striping of Local Streets Scotty Lyall has requested that the city reinstate its former practice of painting stripes down the centerline of local neighborhood streets, particularly in the Hidden Bay area because the street is very narrow and the overhang is dangerous. The City did stripe the streets in past years, but then discontinued the practice. Only the City's main collector streets are paint -striped. Dan Olinger estimated the cost to be $185 (between the paint and 1 hr. of County time) for striping of the Hidden Bay area. Councilman Graves would be in favor of striping and removal of the overhang on Hidden Bay becasue of the liability for personal injuries against the City for not maintaining the streets properly. Graves and Johnson suggested a petition be brought in indicating that the residents are in favor of this and would like to see something done. City Administrator Overby will report back at the next meeting on what the City policy is on whose reponsibility is it for removal of the overhang. The cost will be checked into and a survey will made on other residential streets throughout the City to see if there are other areas that would require the same type of attention. City Engineer Bohrer reported that usually local streets and 30 mph and below are not striped. Maybe with the width of the road and curbing would be enough to warrant striping. D. Firetruck Fire Chief Fran Pott reported that the chassis and body were ordered and the chassis has been delivered to Luverne Fire Apparatus in Luverne, MN where they will attach the fire body onto the chassis. As a result with conversations with Luverene Fire Apparatus, three change orders have been recommended which are: (1) extend front compartments 16" to 18" to pump panel and provide double doors in place of single doors--$950; (2) roll -out battery tray which includes moving air tank and all necessary replumbing--$315; (3) hinged aluminum treadplate cover for crosslay hose beds--$165. Luverne Fire Apparatus Company will still be the low bidder even with these changes. 7-7-87 from Luverne Fire Apparatus Company, Inc., as reported by Fire Chief Fran Pott; but not to exceed $1,430 total. (Motion carried 5-0).
