The <br />estimated cost is $500-700 per well. <br />M/S/P Graves/Moe - to authorize the City Engineer to solicit quotes <br />for cost of closing up abandoned wells on City property.

CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />City Attorney Knaak suggested deleting this item because he has <br />offered his monthly written report on attorney activities. <br />8. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />A. Quotes on cost of water systems pressure gauges/alarms. <br />Maintenance Foreman Dan Olinger and the City Administrator have talked <br />with representatives from two companies which can supply and install <br />the equipment needed to monitor water pressure in the City's water <br />lines. A quote was received from Water Products Company. One unit <br />would go in at the City Hall and a second one at Bud Schneider's house <br />on Lake Elmo Avenue with possibly a third one at the Fire Hall. <br />There was discussion on how elaborate of a system was needed and at <br />what cost and at what locations should these alarms be installed. The <br />Council suggested tabling this for more information and other quotes. <br />M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to table a decision on selecting a quote for <br />providing a gauge/alarm system for the water system in the Old Village <br />until the December 1st City Council meeting. (Motion carried 5-0). <br />B. Wire Feed Welder <br />Maintenance Foreman Dan Olinger would like to purchase a Millermatic <br />200 wire feed welder to aid them in the repair and building of their <br />equipment. They would be able to build our own park gates, picnic <br />tables or anything else that is needed to be done. <br />Olinger explained that the difference in a wire feed welder over the <br />AC -DC welder that we have now is the wire feed is primarily used on <br />welding steel of aluminum that is 1/4" or thinner. The AC -DC machine <br />is used for all our heavy duty welding on the backhoe, loader, plows, <br />truck, etc. <br />Prices were received from three dealers in the Twin Cities area. <br />Northern Gases $1475.00 <br />Buettner Welding Supply $1525.00 <br />Oxygen Service $1545.00 <br />M/S/P Graves/Moe - to approve the Maintenance Department request to <br />purchase a wired feed welder from Northern Gases in the amount of <br />$1475.00; contingent on money found in the Maintenance Budget. <br />
