St. Croix United Way -Temporary Sign at Lake Elmo Bank M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to direct the staff to schedule a public hearing as soon as possible to consider the request of the St. Croix United Way for a temporary sign at the Lake Elmo Bank and waive the fee for a Conditional Use Permit. (Motion carried 5-0). H. Request for "Dead End" sign on Jamley (near 28th St.) Dan Olinger received a request from a resident that lives on 28th Street for placement of a "Dead End" sign on Jamley Avenue because so much traffic is using her driveway for a turnaround when they discover the road does not go through. The property owner suggested the sign be placed mid way between 31 st Street and 28th Street. The cost of a "stop" sign is $50. M/S/C Johnson/John - to place a "Not A Through Street' sign at the appropriate and approved location (suggestion: south of 31st street before you commit to turn on Jamley Avenue). (Motion carried 5-0). 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Award bid for 1993 MSA Project Larry Bohrer provided a memo, dated July 30, 1993, analyzing the 1993 MSA project budget and making the recommmendation to award the contract to the low bidder, Tower Asphalt, in the amount of $732,985.00 conditioned upon state aid approval. The low bid was substantially higher than the estimated cost in the Feasibility Report due to the higher cost of blacktopping and culverts. Bohrer has reviewed the bid to see if any of the work items can be reduced or eliminated and recommended some cost savings. The shortage is eligible to be reimbursed by MSA funds, but will not be received from the State until about February, 1995. The Finance Director recommends that the city finance this amount for one year from its Infrastructure Reserve Fund. The current balance in that fund is $73,736. Several council members voiced their concern in using the estimated 1994 MSA Fund allotment for this project. Council members Mottaz and Johnson requested the $6,000 for replacement of trees remain and borrow $63,000 instead of $57,000 out of the Infrastructure Reserve Fund. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to adopt Resolution No. 93-60 accepting the bid from the low bidder, Tower Asphalt in the amount of $732,985.00 for reconstruction of Jamaca Avenue between TH5 and Lake Jane Trail, and Lake Jane Trail between Jamaca Avenue and Jane Road; conditioned upon State Aid approval . (Motion carried 5-0).
