LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1993 B. Resolution awarding bid for 1993 MSA Project Larry Bohrer explained that at present the city does not have final approval. The low bid from Tower Asphalt, Inc. is about 13% more that what the city engineer estimated in the feasibility report and public hearings. This has a financial impact on the state aid account and what we were planning to do with our future state aid allotments. It was planned that this project would use up the amount we presently have in our construction account plus use a portion of the 1994 allotment. Bohrer requested more time to review the financial impacts of doing this and requested the council receive the bids but take no action for the award. By the August 3 meeting, final state aid approval and recommendation of financing the project will be received. M/S/C Mottaz/John - to accept the bids for reconstruction of Jamaca Avenue between TH5 and Lake Jane Trail, and Lake Jane Trail between Jamaca Avenue and Jane Road and delay action on awarding of bid until the August 3, 1993 city council meeting. (Motion carried 5-0.) C. Streets in Fox Fire Bohrer reported that the streets in Fox Fire Estates and adjacent Springborn Green Acres were paved in 1979. The streets have received one sealcoat since then and one or two spot repairs and are a strong candidate for crack sealing and spot overlay in 1994. 8. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None 9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Council member Conlin reported she attended the July 8 cable commission meeting at Birchwood city hall. There is money allocated to suburban cable channels for updating their equipment and $100,000 allocated through government access. Conlin met with David Currence on July 12 and one of the things cable access could use this money for would be in a form of Public relations. Staffing would be available to the cities to do video productions and scripting which would be on a first come first serve basis. Conlin asked the council to make a list of types of service they would like the city supplied which will then be submitted to the cable commission.
