6. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING: <br />A. Accept Bids on Vehicles <br />M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to approve the bid submitted from John Bruening, BWC Foundation in the <br />amount of $25,501 for the 1984 Clark 75C and the bid submitted by Tom B. Griffith in the amount of <br />$3,126 for the 1988 Chevy Pickup. (Motion passed 4-0). <br />7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: <br />A. Escrow Reduction —Meyer's Pineridge <br />Planner Dillerud explained the developer submitted his final construction plans immediately after the <br />Preliminary Plat was approved. Due to the lateness of the season, the staff agreed that he could commence <br />his grading and infrastructure construction once those plans had been approved by the City Engineer even <br />though the Final Plat graphics and documents were not yet completed or approved. Staff required a Letter <br />of Credit for the grading portion, and inspections of work in progress by TKDA. This reduction is to <br />reflect the difference between the infrastructure work shown in the Development Agreement and the work <br />that has already been completed and approved by Tom Prew. <br />Council member Armstrong voiced concern that the City could be at risk if this were done. Planner <br />Dillerud thought this seemed like an efficient way of doing things with no risk to the City, but plenty to the <br />developer, beyond the TKDA inspection fees. He would back off with this if the Council has concerns. <br />Tom Prew reported the developer has completed all work this fall except the final lift of asphalt and <br />landscaping. He recommended that the following amounts be held in escrow or bond. <br />Site Grading and Seeding $ 1,000.00 <br />Storm Sewer $ 1,000.00 <br />Streets $40,000.00 <br />Landscaping $30,000.00 <br />Subtotal $72,000.00 <br />Prew assumed that the administrative fee would be paid as part of the Final Plat Process <br />125% Escrow Required $90,000.00 <br />Administrator Kueffner indicated a resident asked if the name of the Plat, Pineridge, could be changed <br />because of a personal sadness connected with the name. Tim Freeman responded they meant no disrespect, <br />but the Plat is descriptive of the area there. He is trying to get the plat recorded by end of the year. <br />M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong - to approve the reduction of the escrow amount to $90,000.00 for the Meyers <br />Pineridge Subdivision, as recommended by the City Engineer. (Motion passed 4-0). <br />B. Escrow Reduction For Fields of St.Croix I <br />Tom Prew reported the work is nearly complete on this project. The official tree count and landscaping is <br />left. <br />M/S/P Delapp/Siedow — to reduce the required escrow on the Fields of St.Croix I to $27,500, as <br />recommended by the City Engineer. (Motion passed 4-0.) <br />C. Feasibility Study for 50`n Street <br />As ordered by the Council, the City Engineer prepared a feasibility report for the paving of 50th Street N. <br />Tom Prew explained the report addresses a multi -year overlay strategy as an alternative to a complete State <br />Aid reconstruction. The report provides two options for Council consideration: 1. Paving the entire length <br />of 50`" from State Highway 5 to Lake Elmo Avenue; and 2. Paving the easterly two-thirds of 50`" from <br />State Highway 5 to the Tana Ridge Subdivision. Traffic calming options were explained.
