MINNESOTA Ssio1-2140 <br />PHONE:61=02.4400 FAX.61V202.0000 <br />January 3, 1997 <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />Lake Elmo, Minnesota <br />Re: Annual Appointment of City Engineer <br />Lake Elmo, Minnesota <br />Dear Mayor and Council: <br />At the first meeting each January, the City Council considers the annual appointment of the <br />engineering consultant for the upcoming year. Since 1979, TKDA has provided engineering <br />services for the City in a professional and cost-effective manner, and at a level commensurate <br />with the desires of the City, TKDA would like to continue providing those services as your City <br />Engineer in 1997. <br />In considering the appointment, TKDA would like to be evaluated on its past performance. In <br />that regard, we felt it would be beneficial to review the services that have been provided. Those <br />services can generally be divided into General Services and Special Services. <br />General Services are those services necessary for the day-to-day operation of the City. In a <br />larger city, these services would be provided by a staff engineer, and consist of: <br />— Attendance at Council, Planning Commission, and Park Commission meetings as requested. <br />— Provide professional review of utility permits, subdivision, and Site plans. <br />— Provide expert testimony in legal proceedings to defend the City's land use and permit <br />decisions. <br />— Assist the Maintenance Department in developing maintenance schedules and procedures for <br />roads, water system, drainageways. <br />— Advise on water and sewer rates. <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
