LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 4, 1987 PAGE 11 Councilman Johnson brought up the concern with neighborhood kids messing with the wiring on the well. Bohrer stated there was no lock on the switchbox and will see if he can get one installed. 10. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT A. Road Repairs in Hidden Bay Area A total of approximately 300 feet of roadway had suffered shoulder erosion and breakup of the blacktop road surface as a result of the storm on July 23rd particularly in the Hidden Bay Area. Most of the repairs the City crew were able to do themselves, but there was one area near the northerly intersection of Hidden Bay Trail and Deerpond Trail that required 172 feet of bituminous curb that the crew could not do. Quotes were received from five different blacktoppers to do this work with price range from $600 to $860. Being that there was not time for a City Council meeting, they took the quotes and talked to the Mayor to get his permission to award the work to the low bidder which was done. The work was scheduled for Monday, 8-3-87, but it rained, so the work will be done on Wednesday, 8-5-87. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to approve the road repair work from the low bidder in the Hidden Bay area as proposed by the City Engineer. (Motion carried 4-0). City Administrator Overby reported that Maintenance Foreman Olinger is in need of a power broom to clean up after storms, shouldering roads and spring sweeping of all streets. This type of broom would be able to sweep all blacktop where there is not a curb and gutter. This is a 3-week project, just to clean up after the recent storm. Rental of a broom of this kind is limited to an availability basis. Rental Cost is $500 week $1500 month Purchase Price is $11,000 In March of this year, Olinger brought a proposal to the Parks Commission and the City Council for purchasing a broom for the John Deere Tractor. The price of that broom was $3,579.00 at that time. Olinger still feels this would be the most logical way to proceed. M/S/P Graves/Moe-to table this request until more information is received which should include operating costs, repair costs, and different applications for the broom. (Motion carried 4-0). B.
